On his return to the US in 2002, Matt began work as a contributing editor for Rolling Stone magazine, where he won the National Magazine Award for commentary. He is best known for his coverage of four presidential campaigns, of the 2008 financial crisis, and the criminal justice system; and his many books include "Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America" (2010), and "I Can't Breathe" (2017).
