Lee Smith (journalist)

Lee Harold Smith (born April 10, 1962) is an American journalist. He is a Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute and a senior editor at the Weekly Standard. Smith was formerly editor-in-chief of the Village Voice Literary Supplement, a national monthly literary review. He has written for publications including the New York Times, Hudson Review, Ecco Press, Atheneum, Grand Street, GQ, and Talk.

At the time of the 9/11 attack, Smith was working as an editor at the Village Voice and a contributor to ArtForum.[1] By his own account in his book, The Strong Horse, Smith was dissatisfied with the Orientalist explanations of the Muslim world as presented by Edward Said, whom he had met and spoken with about the region, so he took a job as a foreign correspondent for The Weekly Standard and spent years reporting from the region.[1][2]
