Anderson started his journalism career when he edited a Deseret News Boy Scout column as a 12-year-old. Six years later, he took a job at the The Salt Lake Tribune. He briefly attended the University of Utah. After serving an LDS mission and being drafted into the Army, Anderson in 1947 applied for a job with Drew Pearson's "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column - a job he never left.
       He became a national journalist when he was recruited to work on the The Washington Post. He was a strong opponent of Joe McCarthy and along with other liberal journalists, played an important role in his downfall. He writes the Jack Anderson Confidential, an in-depth monthly newsletter. He has achieved many important stories including the discovery of the CIA plot to kill Fidel Castro. In 1972, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his journalism. His autobiography, Confessions of a Muckraker, was published in 1979. Other books include The Washington Money-Go-Round (1997).
