"Cathy Young is undoubedly one of finest and sharpest journalists and essayists writing today. She is always engaging to read and compulisvely thought provoking, and she knows how to ligth up a story. She is, without hyperbole, overqualified for nearly every conceiveable job in the publishing industry and newspaper business. "


  • Totally agree about Cathy's abilities.

  • Cathy Young has the gift of vicarious thinking. Even in the course of her short op-eds in Newsday (Long Island), she manages to anticipate and address... many of the opinions of those who would disagree with her. She has a great capacity for evenhandedness, a valuable talent in our highly divided country. more

"Cathy Young is a formidable journalist with a career spanning education, politics and the gender/sex wars in the United Stares. Her writing is frequently quoted by major publications — which amplify her voice and thoughts to a national audience. Not only is she skilled in investigating and discretion, but has a good sense of journalistic ethics which she was able to convey to me periodically when I first became a writer. Young has an uncanny ability to make the mundane interesting and could be an asset to many major publications or as a consulting editor on others. Mazel tov on your accomplishments over the years! "
