Devin Gordon is a Senior Editor of the Periscope department. In December 2006, he was named Deputy Editor of the Arts and Entertainment department as well as the magazine's television critic.  Previously, he was a senior writer, writing about film, sports and pop culture for the Arts and Entertainment and Society. He was part of the Newsweek reporting team for the past three Olympic games, including the Salt Lake City winter games in 2002, the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he covered swimmer Michael Phelps, and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, for which he wrote Newsweek's cover story about skier Bode Miller.

During his tenure at the magazine, Gordon has written about everything from HBO's "Six Feet Under" to rock band "Coldplay" to Oscar-winner film directors Ang Lee and Peter Jackson. He profiled "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David on the eve of the series' fourth season debut. For Newsweek's year-end double-issue of 2002, he wrote "The Matrix Makers," (Jan. 6, 2003), a cover story about the two upcoming "Matrix" sequels—the first behind-the-scenes look at the new films by any publication.

Gordon joined Newsweek in 1998, after graduating from Duke University and since then has written extensively about movies, music, sports, and pop culture trends. His first cover story was "The Dominator" (June 18, 2001), an examination of what makes Tiger Woods tick.
