American journalist and author (born 1959)
Eric Matthew Schlosser (born August 17, 1959) is an American journalist and author known for his investigative journalism , such as in his books Fast Food Nation (2001), Reefer Madness (2003), and Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety (2013).
Biography [ edit ]
Schlosser was born in New York City, New York ; he spent his childhood there and in Los Angeles, California . His parents are Judith (née Gassner) and Herbert Schlosser , a former Wall Street lawyer who turned to broadcasting later in his career, eventually becoming president of NBC in 1974 and later becoming a vice president of RCA .[1] [3] [4]
Schlosser graduated with an A.B. in history from Princeton University in 1982 after completing a 148-page-long senior thesis titled "Academic Freedom during the McCarthy Era: Anti-Communism , Conformity and Princeton."[5] He then earned a Master of Letters in British Imperial History from Oriel College, Oxford . He tried playwriting, writing two plays, Americans (1985) and We the People (2007). He is married to Shauna Redford, daughter of actor Robert Redford .[1]
Journalism and books [ edit ]
Schlosser started his career as a journalist with The Atlantic Monthly in Boston, Massachusetts . He quickly gained recognition for his investigative pieces , earning two awards within two years of joining the staff: he won the National Magazine Award for his reporting in his two-part series "Reefer Madness" and "Marijuana and the Law" (The Atlantic Monthly , August and September 1994), and he won the Sidney Hillman Foundation award for his article "In the Strawberry Fields" (The Atlantic Monthly , November 19, 1995).[citation needed ]

Schlosser wrote Fast Food Nation (2001), an exposé on the unsanitary and discriminatory practices of the fast food industry . Fast Food Nation evolved from a two-part article in Rolling Stone . The book won the 2002 Firecracker Alternative Book Award for Nonfiction.[6] Schlosser helped adapt his book into a 2006 film directed by Richard Linklater . The film opened November 19, 2006. Chew On This (2006), co-written with Charles Wilson, is an adaptation of the book for younger readers. Fortune called Fast Food Nation the "Best Business Book of the Year" in 2001.[7]
His 2003 book Reefer Madness discusses the history and current trade of marijuana , the use of migrant workers in California strawberry fields , and the American pornography industry and its history. William F. Buckley gave Reefer Madness a favorable review,[8] as did BusinessWeek .[9]
Schlosser's book Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety was published in September 2013.[10] It focuses on the 1980 Damascus Titan missile explosion , a non-nuclear explosion of a Titan II missile near Damascus, AR .[11] [12] The New Yorker ' s Louis Menand called it "excellent" and "hair-raising" and said that "Command and Control is how nonfiction should be written."[13] It was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for History .[14]
He has been working on a book on the American prison system , which has been over 10 years in the making.[15]
Schlosser appeared in an interview for the DVD of Morgan Spurlock 's Super Size Me , having a one-on-one discussion with the filmmaker about the fast-food industry . He did not appear in the film itself. He was interviewed by Franny Armstrong in 2005 and is a feature interviewee in her film McLibel .
Schlosser appeared in the 2008 documentary, Food, Inc. , and the 2023 sequel Food, Inc. 2 .
Schlosser also served as co-executive producer on the 2007 film There Will Be Blood . In 2014, he was an executive producer of the farmworker documentary Food Chains ,[16] a credit he shared with Eva Longoria . They both won a James Beard Foundation Award for their roles.[17] Schlosser also shared a director credit for the multimedia installation entitled "the bomb", an experimental film about nuclear weaponry coupled with a live score by The Acid .[18]
