- For other people named Robert Wright, see the disambiguation page.
Wright has been a contributing editor at The New Republic, Time and Slate. He has also written for The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. His column "The Information Age," written for The Sciences magazine, won the National Magazine Award for Essay and Criticism. He contributes frequently to The New York Times.
On November 1, 2005, Wright and blogger Mickey Kaus launched Bloggingheads.tv, a current events "dia-vlog." Of Wright's unemotive style one blogger wrote "If Wright were supposed to be a robot, we'd say it was an unsubtle portrayal." Wright's blandness works better in repartee with Kaus, in which he deploys a lot of dry humor. Wright previously ventured into video-on-Internet with his MeaningofLife.tv website.
