Brian Stelter is a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, where he hosts the weekly podcast Inside the Hive. He is the author of three books, most recently Network of Lies, which examined Dominion's blockbuster defamation case against Fox News.

From 2013 until 2022, Stelter was the anchor of CNN's "Reliable Sources," which examined the week's top media stories every Sunday. As chief media correspondent for CNN Worldwide, Stelter reported on a wide range of stories and wrote a nightly email newsletter.

Stelter began his career by creating the TVNewser blog while he was a freshman at Towson University. Upon graduation, he joined The New York Times as a media reporter. In 2013, he published The New York Times best-seller "Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV," about the competitive world of morning news shows.
