Kornbluh was born in Manhattan, New York City. While in High School, Kornbluh was a reporter for [4] and, ultimately, Senior Editor, of Children's Express,[5] the national youth journalism and advocacy organization, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1982.[6] Her work for Children's Express appeared in newspapers across the country.[7][8] She reported from Cambodia in 1980.[9] She was among the first Western journalists to enter the country following the Vietnamese incursion late in 1979. She also reported from Japan, including from Hiroshima,[10] and from the Soviet Union, on children's status and their views of the nuclear threat.[11] While attending Harvard-Radcliffe College, and then again after graduating, Kornbluh served on the staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, chaired by Rep. George Miller (D-CA). She participated in the Committee's effort to pass legislation that would vastly expand the nation's system of child care.[12][13] While in college, she co-founded the political opinion journal in college, Subterranean Review.[14] She also wrote for the Harvard Crimson.[15] After college, Kornbluh returned to the Select Committee and, later worked on the Changing Priorities Project of the Institute for Policy Studies.[16][17]
