Charles M. Blow's columns fearlessly tackle contentious issues, such as teen pregnancy, the national debt and President Barack Obama's policies. Blow, who joined the New York Times in 1994 as a graphics editor, once infiltrated a Tea Party rally and wrote a scathing critique of the gathering. He quickly rose to graphics director at the Times, leading the paper to win a Best of Show award from the Society of News Design for the paper's graphics coverage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Blow graduated magna cum laude from Grambling State University.
