Biography/Timeline
Beginning in August 2001, for four years Hayes was a contributor to the independent weekly newspaper Chicago Reader, where he covered local and national politics. In late 2003, he began a four-year stint at In These Times, a labor-focused monthly magazine based in Chicago, where he was a senior Editor.
From 2005 to 2006, Hayes was a Schumann Center Writing Fellow at In These Times. From 2006 through 2007, Hayes was a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute, and a contributing Writer for The Nation. On November 1, 2007, The Nation named him its Washington, D.C. Editor, succeeding David Corn.
Hayes' brother Luke worked on Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.
Hayes wrote extensively on issues central to the liberal community, including what ails the Democratic Party in the post-9/11 era and how the labor movement is changing. He also reported on progressive activists' work to resuscitate the "public option" during the 2009–2010 health care fight when many political insiders wrote it off as dead.
On November 5, 2010, MSNBC announced that Hayes would be filling in for Keith Olbermann during Olbermann's suspension. However, the network later backtracked after finding out that Hayes had also made political contributions—the issue over which Olbermann was being suspended.
Hayes is married to Kate Shaw, associate professor of law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law; his father-in-law is veteran Chicago reporter Andy Shaw. Hayes and Shaw resided in Washington, D.C., until they moved to New York City, where All in With Chris Hayes is produced. Their daughter, Ryan Elizabeth Shaw-Hayes, was born in November 2011. Their son, David Emanuel Shaw-Hayes, was born in March 2014. Their daughter, Anya Shaw-Hayes, was born in January 2018.
Hayes's first book, Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy was published by Crown Publishing Group in June 2012. A review in The Atlantic called it "provocative" and "thoughtful," but faulted its policy suggestions as less satisfying. Kirkus Reviews called it "forcefully written" and "provocative." Aaron Swartz described the book as "compellingly readable, impossibly erudite, and—most stunningly of all—correct."
All In with Chris Hayes, Hayes's first prime-time show, premiered Monday, April 1, 2013.
In April 2017 he was a featured author at the L.A. Times Festival of Books, which took place at the campus of USC.
