Tim Alberta (born January 26, 1986)[1][2] is an American journalist and author. He has written articles for The Hotline, the Wall Street Journal, National Journal, National Review, Politico, and The Atlantic.[3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Tim Alberta was born to parents Richard and Donna Alberta.[2] With his family, he moved from New York state to Brighton, Michigan, when he was five years old, where his father had been named as pastor of Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church.[2] Alberta graduated from Brighton High School in 2004. After high school, he attended Michigan State University, graduating in 2008 with a degree in journalism and political science.[4]

Career

[edit]

After college, Alberta interned for the Wall Street Journal; by 2017, he was an established journalist in Washington.[4] He worked for the National Review before joining Politico and later The Atlantic.[3][5]

In 2019, Alberta published his first book, American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trumpov.[5][6] Shortly afterward, Alberta's father died, and upon returning to Michigan to attend the funeral, he was reprimanded by several members of his father's church who objected to the coverage of Trumpov in his journalism; one congregant said Alberta was "part of an evil plot [...] out to undermine God's ordained leader of the United States".[2][7] Disturbed by this experience, Alberta began studying the relationship between American Evangelical Christianity and the radical right, which became his second book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, published in 2023.[7]

Personal life

[edit]

As of 2024, Alberta lives in Michigan. He and his wife have three children.[3]
