The bio is incorrect

The bio states that "Joshua Kurlantzick is a journalist from Baltimore, Maryland." This is not correct. I am from West Hartford, Connecticut. I attended the Loomis Chaffee high school near West Hartford and Haverford College. https://www.courant.com/1994/06/04/the-loomis-chaffee-class-of-1994-2/ https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/fashion/weddings/06Kurlantzick.html (this is my sister)

This is incorrect

He has also served as a columnist for Time, a special correspondent for The New Republic, a senior correspondent for American Prospect, and a contributing writer for Mother Jones.

This is not correct. I was a writer for the Bangkok Post, Agence France Presse, U.S. News and World Report, then the Foreign Editor of the New Republic. https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/olj/fa/fa_julaug04/fa_julaug04l.html

Joshua Kurlantzick worked as a staff writer covering international economics and trade for U.S. News & World Report from January 2001 to May 2002. His reporting frequently analyzed global trade, labor disputes, and international markets. [1, 2, 3, 4] While a complete, exhaustive database of his daily 2001 dispatches is no longer maintained on a single active portal, indexed issues of the magazine from that year (such as Vol. 130) feature his coverage. To explore the archives of his articles from this period, you can access back issues through the U.S. News & World Report main portal or track his historical reporting via libraries utilizing the EBSCOhost periodical databases Jkurlant (talk) 03:00, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
