advanced Newsweek magazine to a stature rivaling that of it chief rival, Time, during his tenure (1961–76) as its editor. After working as an associate editor for Time, in 1955 Elliott accepted a business editor position with Newsweek. Under his watch as Newsweek's editor, the magazine gave high-profile coverage to civil rights issues, discarding neutrality to express support for the cause of equality, and circulation nearly doubled. From 1976 to 1977 Elliott served as a deputy mayor of New York City. He served (1977–86) as dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, and he later became professor emeritus.
