Who is Brian Stelter?

He started as a college kid blogging obsessively about TV news, then became one of the most-watched media critics in America. From The New York Times to hosting CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Stelter has spent his career tracking how information – and disinformation – moves through our screens, including in documentaries like “After Truth” and books like “Hoax” and “Network of Lies.”

In this 2 Minute Podcast, we trace how he went from TVNewser blogger to chief media analyst, why he’s now clashing with the Pentagon over press access during the Iran conflict, and how his own family life and controversies have unfolded in public. Press play to meet the media reporter who’s made the media itself his beat.
