James Fulton Hoge Jr. was an American journalist and magazine publisher who was the editor of Foreign Affairs and the Peter G. Peterson Chair at the Council on Foreign Relations. His principal areas of expertise were U.S. foreign policy and international economic policy.

Background

Hoge was born on December 25, 1935, in New York City. Hoge was the second of four siblings, and the son of James F. Hoge Sr. (1901–72) and Virginia McClamroch Hoge. His brother was Warren Hoge, who was a United Nations bureau chief for The New York Times. Both brothers attended Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire.

Education

After graduating from Yale University with a B.A. in political science in 1958, Hoge began his journalistic career with the Chicago Sun-Times; during this period, he received a degree in history from the University of Chicago in 1961.

Career

He worked as a Congressional Fellow of the American Political Science Association (1962–1963). After being Washington, D.C. correspondent (1963–1965), city editor (1965–1967), and managing editor (1967–1968) of the Sun-Times, he was promoted to editor-in-chief in 1968. From 1976 to 1976, he concurrently served as editor in chief of the Sun-Times's sister publication, the Chicago Daily News. In 1980, he attended the six-week Harvard Business School Advanced Management Program, and relinquished his editorial duties, continuing as the newspaper's publisher. He left the Sun-Times in 1984 and was appointed president and publisher of the New York Daily News, where he remained until 1991. The Sun-Times won six Pulitzer Prizes during his tenure there, and the Daily News won one during his presidency.

Following fellowships at the Harvard Institute of Politics (1991) and the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism (1992), he was appointed editor of Foreign Affairs in 1992, replacing William G. Hyland.

Hoge also was chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board, Human Rights Watch and the Foundation for a Civil Society, and was vice chair of the International Center for Journalists.

Marriages

Hoge married Alice Albright and had three children, Alicia Hoge, James Patrick Hoge, and Robert Warren Hoge. They divorced in 1971. He had a son with journalist and lawyer Cynthia McFadden, Spencer Graham McFadden Hoge, who was born in 1998 and named after the actor Spencer Tracy.
