Weiss to write column for Forbes.com

Forbes.com announced that investigative journalist and author Gary Weiss will pen a regular column for the site titled Muckraker, focusing on international business and Wall Street. His inaugural column, India’s Nuclear Option, is available here.

“Gary is among an elite group of journalists whose zest for investigative journalism has brought real change to the subjects he’s covered,� said Paul Maidment, editor of Forbes.com. “We’re excited to offer Forbes.com readers his unique perspective on Wall Street and the world.�

Weiss has been uncovering Wall Street wrongdoing for nearly two decades. He wrote some of the first stories in 1991 revealing Salomon Brothers’ manipulation of the government bond market and he is the author of two books: “Wall Street Versus America” (Portfolio Hardcover, 2006) and “Born to Steal” (Warner Books: 2003), describing the Mafia’s infiltration of Wall Street brokerage houses in the 1990s. His reportage on the Mob on Wall Street resulted in dozens of indictments and convictions and is widely recognized as a seminal achievement in investigative journalism.

A native of New York City, he attended public schools and the Bronx High School of Science, and graduated from City College and the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. After working as a reporter for The Hartford Courant and news services in Washington, D.C., Weiss joined the staff of Barron’s in 1984. He moved to Business Week in 1986.
