Autorenporträt

Steve Bassett was born, raised, and educated in New Jersey before joining the dwindling number of itinerant newsmen roaming the countryside in search of just about everything. Stints as a featured reporter with newspapers in New Jersey, Illinois, and Salt Lake City were followed by Associated Press assignments in Phoenix and finally as Special Urban Affairs writer in San Francisco. Then came CBS television news, three Emmy Awards for his investigative documentaries, and the prestigious first Medallion Award, presented by the California Bar Association for "Distinguished Reporting on the Administration of Justice." Along the way he found time to author The Battered Rich (Ashley Books), exposing seldom discussed but widespread marital abuse among the affluent. He lives in Placitas, New Mexico.
