Mark Hertsgaard (born 1956) is an American journalist and author who is the environmental correspondent for The Nation. He was formerly a cultural reporter for the New Yorker. His best-known work is On Bended Knee: The Press and the Reagan Presidency (1988), which described the way the Reagan White House "deployed raw power and conventional wisdom to intimidate Washington's television newsrooms". He has written for magazines and newspapers such as Vanity Fair, Time, Harper’s, The Guardian and Le Monde. Whilst compiling a feature article for The New Yorker in 1993, Hertsgaard broke the news that the three surviving members of the Beatles were due to issue previously unreleased music from the group's career, as part of their multimedia Anthology project, in addition to reuniting to work on new recordings. At this time, he was granted rare access to the band's EMI recording archives in London, gaining an insight that informed his 1995 book A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles. During a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans in 2013, he was shot and wounded along with 19 others. More
