Dan Mauzy
Executive Editor, News
Dan Mauzy has led the newsroom since 2020, overseeing local journalism and news strategy across platforms following a decade working as an editor and producer in the newsroom.
During his time as executive editor, the newsroom has won many national awards for its journalism, including four national Murrow awards as well as Sigma Delta Chi, Headliner, Gracie and PMJA awards, among others. WBUR also rose to become the number one news station in Greater Boston with the highest listenership share in the organization's history.
At WBUR Dan has built up the newsroom's reporting and digital teams, forged new journalism partnerships, established WBUR's ethics guidelines, edited investigative projects and directed live coverage of many breaking news events, including the lockdown and manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers. He's also responsible for ordering the pizza on election nights.
Prior to WBUR, Dan was the Santa Fe County bureau chief for New Mexico's Rio Grande Sun. It was public radio that got him through countless hours driving through the desert southwest to school board meetings and crime scenes, and eventually he made the switch. He got his start in audio at NPR’s StoryCorps and WNYC's On the Media.
Dan grew up in Stoneham and lives in Cambridge with his wife Alex and two young boys.
