Jennifer Rubin (born 1962) is an American journalist. She writes the "Right Turn" blog for The Washington Post, which "offer[s] reported opinion from a center-right perspective". Previously she worked at Commentary, PJ Media, Human Events, and The Weekly Standard. Her work has been published in media outlets including Politico, New York Post, New York Daily News, National Review, and The Jerusalem Post.
Rubin was born to a Jewish family in the New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia, and moved with her family as a child to California in 1968.
She received her B.A. and J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, finishing first in her class in law school.
Before moving into opinion writing, Rubin was a labor and employment lawyer in Los Angeles, working for Hollywood studios, for 20 years. She now describes herself as a "recovering lawyer". Commenting on working with her from 2000–05, Hollywood animator and trade union leader Steve Hulett described her to Media Matters as "always funny, with sharp observations. I never got the impression she was anything but a Democrat ... she was mildly critical of some of Kerry's campaign moves during the '04 campaign, but she wasn't in the Bush camp ... it's somewhat startling to me that she is now hard right."
