ABSTRACT

Brian Stelter is the host of "Reliable Sources", which examines the week's top media stories every Sunday ET on CNN/US, and the senior media correspondent for CNN Worldwide. Stelter reports and writes for CNN and CNNMoney. Prior to joining CNN in November 2013, Stelter was a media reporter at The New York Times. Starting in 2007, he covered television and digital media for the Business Day and Arts section of the newspaper. He was also a lead contributor to the Media Decoder blog. In 1996, when he was 11 years old, he was motivated to learn HTML code and create a website about a children's book series called "Goosebumps". He was obsessed with the books and couldn't find a great website that would answer all his questions. So he created the website that he wanted to read. The Bumps connected a community of "Goosebumps" fans across the country. And the same thing motivates him at CNN now.
