Author : Daniel Okrent

Daniel Okrent boasts a distinguished 40-year career in mass media, spanning book publishing, magazines, newspapers, television, and online journalism. He has held editorial positions at prominent houses like Knopf, Viking, and Harcourt, and he was the founding editor of the acclaimed New England Monthly. As the first public editor of The New York Times, Okrent played a key role in shaping newsroom accountability. His television appearances include notable roles as a commentator and features in documentaries such as Ken Burns's Baseball, Wordplay, and Silly Little Game, as well as appearances in films directed by Woody Allen and Lasse Hallstrom. In the late 1990s, he also led Time Inc.'s online initiatives. However, his true passion lies in writing, which he pursued from his debut, Nine Innings, in 1985 through to the publication of Last Call in 2010. As described by novelist Kevin Baker in Publishers Weekly, Okrent is regarded as "one of our most interesting and eclectic writers of nonfiction over the past 25 years," and he has contributed to several respected works, including co-authoring Baseball Anecdotes and authoring The Way We Were: New England Then, New England Now.
