He won the Gerald Loeb Award for magazine writing in 2009 for a New York Times Magazine article, "Obamanomics."

He was a winner of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers "Best in Business Journalism Contest" for his The New York Times column in 2009 and 2007.

2010

In 2010, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for his economic columns.

2011

In April 2011 he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary "for his graceful penetration of America's complicated economic questions, from the federal budget deficit to health care reform".

Leonhardt was born in Manhattan, the son of Joan (née Alexander) and Robert Leonhardt.

His father was Jewish and his mother was Protestant.

His father was the head of the French-American School of New York.

In 2011 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary.

On July 22, 2011, Leonhardt was appointed as chief of the Washington bureau of the Times. He began that editorial role on September 6, 2011.

After this announcement, he published what he referred to as his final Economic Scene column, "Lessons from the Malaise," on July 26, 2011.

However, after he began his editing assignment, Leonhardt continued to publish analyses of economic news.

2013

On November 20, 2013, it was announced that Leonhardt would step down as Washington Bureau Chief to become Managing Editor of a new Times "venture," later given the name "The Upshot," "which will be at the nexus of data and news and will produce clear analytical reporting and writing on opinion polls, economic indicators, politics, policy, education, and sports".

The Upshot was created to fill the void of Nate Silver's departure from The New York Times.

In February 2013, The New York Times and Byliner published a 15,000-word book by Leonhardt on the federal budget deficit and the importance of economic growth, titled Here's the Deal: How Washington Can Solve The Deficit and Spur Growth.

The book is part of a new series of short e-books from the newspaper and Byliner.

Matthew Yglesias, of Slate, wrote in a review of Here's the Deal: "if you're not a member of Congress and just want to understand the budgetary landscape on the merits, this is a great place to start".

2016

In early 2016, it was announced that Leonhardt would be the head of an internal strategy group at the Times.

In announcing the group, Dean Baquet, Executive Editor of the Times, wrote, "We need to develop a strategic plan for what The New York Times should be, and determine how to apply our timeless values to a new age."

His column previously appeared weekly in The New York Times.

He previously wrote the paper's daily e-mail newsletter, which bore his own name.

Leonhardt was previously the head of an internal strategy group, known as the 2020 group, that made recommendations to Times executives in January 2017 about changing the newsroom and the news report in response to the rise of digital media.

Prior to that, he was the managing editor of The Upshot, a then-new Times venture focusing on politics, policy, and economics, with an emphasis on data and graphics.

Before The Upshot, he was the paper's Washington bureau chief and an economics columnist.

"The members of the 2020 group have emerged from this process both optimistic and anxious. We are optimistic, deeply so, because The Times is better positioned than any other media organization to deliver the coverage that millions of people are seeking," the report read.

"But we must not fall prey to wishful thinking and believe that such an outcome is inevitable. It is not. We also face real challenges — journalism challenges and business challenges."
