He was formerly the editor of the alternative weekly Washington City Paper. Early lifeWemple was raised in Niskayuna, New York,[1] and attended Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, graduating in 1986. In 1986-87 Wemple taught and coached sports at Trinity Pawling School, in Pawling, New York. In the fall of 1987, he moved to Washington, D.C., to pursue graduate studies at Georgetown University.{{Cn|date=September 2018}} CareerWemple began contributing articles to the Washington City Paper in the late 1990s. From January 1999 to November 2000, Wemple wrote the paper's political column, Loose Lips, before becoming editor.[2] Previously, he was Washington correspondent for Inside.com and CableWorld magazine.[2] In 2004, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies awarded Wemple and Josh Levin an Alternative Newsweekly Award for their article "Off Target", published in Washington City Paper.[3] In June 2006, Wemple accepted the editor-in-chief position at The Village Voice. A month later, he announced he would not assume the position, stating that "the paper's ownership and I have failed to come to terms in our many discussions about moving forward, particularly with respect to newsroom management."[2][4] In February 2010, Wemple informed the staff of the staff of the Washington City Paper that he was leaving to be the new editor of TBD.com.[5] In 2013, J. K. Trotter of Gawker Media declared Wemple a "hero", and that "like a deeply embedded anthropologist, Wemple scours Washington media (and, not infrequently, their New York counterparts) for hypocrisy, excess, and corruption. He's the anti-Mike Allen, frequently piercing the Politico's madman's self-inflating bubble of hype at the moment it threatens to blot out the sun."[6] Notable storiesIn his Washington Post blog, Wemple frequently broke news about a libel suit against fellow journalist Betsy Rothstein and the website Fishbowl DC. Rothstein wrote several posts alleging that a local Washington publicist, Wendy Gordon, was promiscuous and often drunk.[2][7] Rothstein asserted as a defense that she had not libeled Gordon because what she had written was in part satirical. Wemple was the first to report settlement of the lawsuit, and also the first reporter to whom Gordon spoke, an "exclusive" which he posted on his "Erik Wemple blog" in the Post.[8] Rothstein countered that Wemple's exhaustive coverage of the case, which Rothstein said was "excessive" and unfair, was driven by earlier negative posts she had published about Wemple at Fishbowl DC, writing that "Wemple does not see how his disdain for FishbowlDC just drips through" while making "decisions he made while writing."[9] Wemple also claims to have broken news with regard to the Washington Post hiring minority writers.[10] Personal lifeWemple is married to Stephanie Mencimer, who as of 2018 works a staff reporter in the Washington office of Mother Jones.[11] Notes1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://dailygazette.com/article/2014/09/21/niskayuna-native-dc-fixture?print|title=Niskayuna native Wemple now a D.C. fixture|last=McGuire|first=Mark|date=2014-09-21|work=|newspaper=Daily Gazette|language=en-US|access-date=2016-12-21|via=}} 2. ^1 2 3 "Erik Wemple", brief biography in the People Directory of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies (AAN), accessed August 29, 2007.
