about Danielle

Danielle Dreilinger: writer, reporter, producer, editor and general-issue know-it-all. Ex-music critic. Ex-New Yorker. Brown belt. Converted Red Sox fan. There is nothing “daily” about the Daily Reason and she would be happy to explain it to you at some point if you really want the story.
Credits include the Boston Globe (hyperlocals, regionals, Arts, Style, G, magazine, etc.), WGBH (online, radio), Boston Magazine, WBUR and the Online Journalism Award–winning wbur.org, Ploughshares, Berklee.edu, NYT, Christian Science Monitor, Boston Phoenix, Nashville Scene, No Depression, Gridskipper, BostonNOW, Weekly Dig, BNN-TV, WHDH-7, Reuters.

Danielle has written about everything from the twentysomething bluegrass set to why zoning matters to cab-driver food tips to the sociocultural import of the Brazilian bikini. She does a lot of online journalism stuff but has yet to figure out how to describe it concisely. Yes, she is working on a book.
She lives in Somerville, Massachusetts. Monday used to be baking day until she became the digital news producer at WGBH in Oct. ’11 and now baking “day” is 10 p.m.
