Jeffrey Zaslow
It began in September 2007, after Zaslow attended the final lecture of dying Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch. Zaslow's column about the talk sparked a worldwide phenomenon. Tens of millions of people have since viewed footage of the lecture on the Internet and on TV. Zaslow was drawn to the story of Randy Pausch because he has created a beat unlike almost any other in journalism. While The Wall Street Journal covers the heart of the financial world, Zaslow tends to the heart of its readers.There are a thousand emotionally charged transitions that people face in their lives, and most comes without a roadmap. That's the territory of his column -- from finding a spouse to losing a job, from a child's first crush to an old person's last wishes. In 2003 and 2005, Zaslow's column was named the best general-interest column in a newspaper with over 100,000 circulation by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. In 2008, he received the Distinguished Column Writing Award from the New York Newspaper Publishers Association. His columns have appeared in TIME magazine and in USA WEEKEND, the Sunday supplement in 550 newspapers. In 2009, he wrote and released ” The Girls From Ames”, a nonfiction book about 11 women, now in their mid-40s, who grew up together in Ames, Iowa and have been friends to this day.
