TED REINSTEIN is best known around America's New England region as a longtime, award-winning correspondent for “Chronicle,” Boston's celebrated nightly newsmagazine which airs on the city's ABC affiliate, WCVB-TV. The show is the nation's longest-running locally-produced TV newsmagazine. Ted joined the show as a reporter in 1995 as a reporter. Early on, he was drawn to cover Boston’s famous (some would say infamous) Big Dig project, then the nation's most expensive public work project in history. For several years, he filed stories that brought viewers deep underground, high up on hundred-foot cranes, and up close with officials who were continually pressed on massive cost overruns. In 2002, he was part of the “Chronicle” team that won a prestigious national DuPont-Columbia Broadcast Journalism Award for its exhaustive coverage of the project. He's also been a contributor to the station's political roundtable show, "On the Record," and since 2010 has sat on the station's editorial board. But it's in the field that Ted has most established his longtime beat. Over the years, from literally every corner of New England he has found the offbeat, the interesting and the just plain quirky, all while telling the enduringly colorful stories of New England’s people and places. As a native, it’s a region he knows well and loves deeply; he was born on the edge of Boston Harbor in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Elsewhere on television, he hosted the premiere season of the Discovery Channel's “Popular Mechanics” show. As a correspondent and host for the Travel Channel's photo/adventure series, “FreezeFrame," he explored Hawaii's volcanoes, the caves of Puerto Rico, and the islands of Tahiti. Ted is also the author of five books. In 2013, Globe Pequot Press published his first book, “A New England Notebook: Six States, One Reporter, Uncommon Stories.” Other books include "Wicked Pissed" (GP/2015), "Before Brooklyn" (Lyons Press/2021), and "Travels Through the Heart and Soul of New England" (GP/2024). He is the co-author (with his wife Anne-Marie Dorning) of "New England's General Stores" (GP/2017). Proudest accomplishment: being the proud father of two extraordinary daughters.
