Author Event - Ted Reinstein

Ted Reinstein returns to Bestsellers Cafe to chat with you and sign copies of his book, "New England Notebook"!

Ted Reinstein is best known around New England as a longtime correspondent for “Chronicle,” the equally longtime and celebrated nightly newsmagazine which airs on Boston’s ABC affiliate, WCVB-TV. In 2012, “Chronicle” marked its thirtieth year on television. Having won most major U.S. broadcasting awards, it remains the nation’s longest-running locally-produced TV newsmagazine. Ted joined the show in 1995 as a reporter and producer. 

Today, while he occasionally appears in the show’s studio filling in at the anchor desk or delivering an opinion commentary, it’s mostly out in the field where viewers are most familiar seeing him. From literally every corner of New England, he’s found the offbeat, the memorable, the interesting, and the just plain quirky, all while telling the enduringly colorful stories of New England’s people and places. It’s a region he knows well; he was born in Boston and grew up on the edge of Boston Harbor in Winthrop, Massachusetts. 

In 2013, Globe Pequot Press published his first book, “A New England Notebook: One Reporter, Six States, Uncommon Stories.” The book, in an unusual encyclopedic style, recounts many of Ted’s favorite people and stories from his many travels around New England for “Chronicle.” It goes beyond the merely curious, though it offers plenty of intriguing tidbits, unusual museums, fascinating characters, and many pieces of trivia and little-known facts.
