Ben Collins is an American reporter from Massachusetts. He began working for the news division of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in 2018.[1]
Early life and education
Collins is from the U.S. state of Massachusetts. His mother is a librarian.[2][3] He attended Emerson College between 2006 and 2010.[2] While enrolled at Emerson, he was a music columnist for The Berkeley Beacon, the college's student newspaper.[1][2] During college, he was a roommate of Chris Hurst, with whom he co-hosted a radio show as an undergraduate.[1][4]
Professional career
Early career and Esquire
Following his graduation from Emerson, Collins began his career at Slam before performing social media work for Hulu.[2] Following his time at Hulu, Collins became a news editor of Esquire in 2013,[2][5] where he remained for a year until he was hired by The Daily Beast.[2]
The Daily Beast
Between 2014 and 2018, Collins worked in various roles for The Daily Beast as a senior news editor and technology reporter.[1][3] While Collins was employed at The Daily Beast, Hurst's girlfriend Alison Parker was shot and killed on live television.[4] Though Collins had not met Parker,[4] the incident and its aftermath deeply affected him; he decided to pursue reporting about online conspiracy theories and the far right after that.[1][2]
At The Daily Beast, Collins frequently reported alongside researcher Brandy Zadrozny, who had joined the publication in 2013.[3] When offered an opportunity to work at NBC News in March 2018, Collins accepted it on the condition that he would be allowed to bring Zadrozny along to join him.[1]
NBC News
In 2018, Collins and Zadrozny departed The Daily Beast to join NBC News.[1][3] Collins has received special recognition from the 2023 Walter Cronkite Awards for Excellence in Television Political Journalism.[6][7]
In December 2022, following controversial comments Collins made on social media that NBC says ran afoul of its social media standards, NBC temporarily suspended Collins from covering Elon Musk and Twitter.[8][9]
In October 2023, Collins was criticized in Reason Magazine for rushing to conclusions in circulating unproven claims about the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion. Reason also stated that Collins' reporting on right wing figures often contained "basic errors".[10]
