Third Tuesday Author: Christine Negroni
Christine Negroni has the distinction of working in three often reviled fields. For most of her career she has been a journalist, or an “enemy of the American people,” as one U.S. President characterizes the profession. And for eight years she worked for lawyers as chief of investigations for air accidents and aviation-related terrorism. Then there was the time she got close to government work while serving on an FAA advisory committee planning new rules for airlines.
She began her career as a television correspondent and worked at CBS, CNN and ABC where she still participates as a “talking head” during coverage of air disasters. She writes about the aviation industry for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Travel + Leisure, and Slate among others.
Her book, The Crash Detectives, is a New York Times best seller. Her previous book, Deadly Departure was a New York Times Notable book.
She is presently writing her third book, a memoir titled Don’t Wear Leggings on an Airplane--and Other Lessons From Unhappy Landings.
