George Will je uznávaný americký novinový publicista a novinár, známy svojim erudovaným štýlom, ktorý často zahŕňa politické filozofické odkazy a zmienky o baseballe. Jeho stĺpčeky, ktoré spájajú faktické reportáže s konzervatívnym komentárom, boli široko publikované a získali mu Pulitzerovu cenu. Will sa preslávil svojou schopnosťou prepojiť hlboké znalosti politiky s jedinečným autorským hlasom, čím sa stal významnou postavou americkej žurnalistiky.
