Nina Easton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nina Easton is Washington Bureau Chief for Fortune Magazine and a commentator on Fox News, appearing regularly on Special Report with Brit Hume and Fox News Sunday. Prior to joining Fortune in 2006, she served as Deputy Bureau Chief and lead political writer for the Boston Globe.
She has also appeared as a commentator on ABC’s "This Week," CBS’s "Face the Nation," CNN's "News night" and PBS' "Washington Week," among others.
Ms. Easton is author of the acclaimed book "Gang of Five: Leaders at the Center of the Conservative Ascendancy" (Simon & Schuster, 2002), which was praised by the Washington Post for telling the story of post-Reagan conservatism "more inventively, exhaustively and entertainingly than anyone else." Her insights into the rise of the modern political right prompted the Wall Street Journal to dub her "the Dian Fossey of conservatism."
At the Globe, Nina co-authored "John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography" (Public Affairs), served as a lead editor of the 2003 newspaper series on which the book was based, and oversaw much of the paper's 2004 presidential campaign coverage. From 1988 until 1998, Nina was a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and its Sunday Magazine. Her articles won numerous awards, including the National Headliners Award for best magazine writing and the Sunday Magazine Editors Award for investigative reporting.
In 1991, she was chosen as a delegate to the British-American Project, a joint venture between the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Johns Hopkins University SAIS that brings together young leaders from the US and the UK. She subsequently served on the project's executive committee and co-chaired its 1995 conference in Windsor, England.
Before joining the Los Angeles Times, she covered business for The American Banker, BusinessWeek and Legal Times. In 1982, she co-authored the book "Reagan's Ruling Class: Portraits of the President's Top 100 Officials". She is a native of California and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of U.C. Berkeley.
