Andrew Ross Sorkin

Andrew Ross Sorkin is an American journalist, author, and television personality, born on November 19, 1977, in New York City, New York. He is best known for his work as a financial columnist for The New York Times, where he covers the intersection of business, finance, and economics. Sorkin is also the founder of DealBook, a daily financial newsletter that provides in-depth coverage of global business news. His expertise in financial reporting has made him one of the leading voices in economic journalism, and his work has earned him numerous accolades, including a George Polk Award.

In addition to his work as a journalist, Sorkin is the author of the bestselling book Too Big to Fail (2009), which chronicles the 2008 financial crisis and the collapse of major financial institutions. The book was later adapted into an HBO film, where Sorkin served as an executive producer. He is also the co-anchor of Squawk Box, a business news program on CNBC, where he interviews prominent figures in finance, government, and industry.

Reflecting on his work and the state of business journalism, Sorkin once said, "In this industry, the story is never just about the numbers. It’s about the people behind the numbers and the forces shaping the world." On the role of journalism in society, he shared, "Journalism is about asking the hard questions and holding the powerful accountable—it's our job to make sense of the chaos." These quotes highlight his belief in the importance of transparency and the responsibility of journalists in navigating complex financial issues.
