Joe Lindsley

Joseph Lindsley, also writing as JP Lindsley, is an American journalist.[1]

Early life and education

Lindsley is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. In 2003, while an undergrad, he launched The Irish Rover, an independent, Catholic biweekly student newspaper.[2] During his time at Notre Dame, Lindsley also worked as research assistant to Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes.[3]

Career

In 2009, Lindsley was hired by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.[3] He was appointed editor-in-chief of two local newspapers owned by Ailes, the Putnam County News & Recorder and the Putnam County Courier, both published in Putnam County, New York where Ailes lived. Lindsley transformed them into publications with an aggressively conservative editorial line.[4][3]

Lindsley became a close confidant and protégé of Ailes and his wife, but left Ailes's employ in April 2011 after disagreements with Ailes. In 2017, he wrote a novelistic memoir, Fake News, True Story, chronicling his time working for Ailes. He self-published the book after failing to find a publisher.[3]
