Rembert Browne (born 1987) is a writer for New York Magazine who primarily focuses on pop culture, politics and sports. Previously Browne wrote for Grantland.
Browne grew up in Atlanta and attended The Paideia School. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 2009 with a degree in sociology, public policy and geography. While attending Dartmouth, Browne wrote for The Dartmouth, the student newspaper. He later attended Columbia University in pursuit of a Master's degree in Urban Planning but left the program when he was offered a full-time position at Grantland. He currently lives in New York City.
Browne has drawn notice for his journalism on a wide variety of topics, including music, sports, and politics, interviewing President Obama on the 50th anniversary of the Selma March and serving as a moderator of the Iowa Democratic Brown and Black Presidential Forum during the 2016 U.S. Presidential campaign. Browne covered the Republican and Democratic National Conventions for New York Magazine in 2016.
In 2016, Forbes magazine named Browne to its 30 Under 30 list, citing his work on "everything from reporting on the ground in Ferguson, to interviewing President Obama on Air Force One, to covering pop culture."The A.V. Club has called him "a thoughtful critic who speaks with the voice of young America" and Brooklyn Magazine included him on its list of "100 Most Influential People in Brooklyn Culture," praising his "sharp-witted, playful and incisive voice." Offering an elegy for Grantland after ESPN shuttered the website, The New Republic said Browne illustrated the way Grantland was "fun because it was smart, and because it was run by human beings...Browne’s long, absurdly detailed critical analysis of a photo of Nicki Minaj surrounded by dorky teenagers at a bar mitzvah [was] a singular example of how much fun one could have on the internet...an inspired, creative bit of fun."
