Our approach was shaped in newsrooms and government–
The KSX Communications team operates with a metabolism reflecting our years in media, government, and communications. Our approach mirrors the background of our founding CEO, Andrew Kirtzman, who spent decades working in the competitive environments of newspaper and television newsrooms before moving to government and communications.
His breadth of experience encompasses years as a political reporter, show host, strategic communications advisor, government official and author.
As a reporter, he covered more than a dozen national political campaigns for print and television, and interviewed hundreds of elected officials and others as host of two of New York’s most widely-watched television political shows, Kirtzman and Co. on WCBS-TV, and Inside City Hall on New York 1 News. He also served as a contributing editor for New York magazine. He is a multiple Emmy award winner.
Andrew served as a City Hall reporter for the New York Daily News, an investigative reporter for the Houston Post, and city editor of the Hudson Dispatch in New Jersey.
In 2022, Simon and Schuster published his second biography of Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America’s Mayor, which The New Yorker named one of the best books of 2022. He is also author of Rudy Giuliani: Emperor of The City, and Betrayal: The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff.
He appears frequently on MSNBC and CNN to comment on national politics, and writes for publications including The New York Times and Washington Post.
