The New York Times reported that, while Andelman was the newspaper's Yugoslavia correspondent in 1979, "heightened alertness" scuttled an attempt by the KGB to put another Times journalist in a compromising position: "... a Russian man walked past a Soviet guard and into the Moscow bureau of The New York Times, saying he had a package for this correspondent" from Andelman.^[3]

Andelman was the editor of World Policy Journal from 2008 to 2015. Following The New York Times, he served for seven years as Paris correspondent for CBS News. He has also worked in editorial roles at Forbes, Bloomberg News, CNBC, and The New York Daily News.^{[2][self-published source?]} From 2010 to 2012, he served as president of the Overseas Press Club.^[4]
