Dan Slepian Biography

Dan Slepian, an acclaimed investigative journalist at NBC News, has spent almost thirty years honing his craft at NBC's "Dateline." His focus on documentaries and hidden camera investigations has provided him with a vast array of experiences to draw from. His podcast "Letters from Sing Sing" achieved considerable recognition, becoming a 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist and debuting at #1 on Apple’s top charts. Further solidifying his reputation as a compelling communicator, Slepian has also conducted a TEDx talk at Sing Sing and produced the first-ever town hall from the inside of a maximum-security prison.

Slepian's extensive body of work has been recognized with a multitude of awards, including over a dozen Emmy nominations, four Edward R. Murrow awards, and a Sigma Delta Chi award. His investigative work has also garnered recognition from several justice organizations. His book, "The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice," is a testament to his dedication to truth and justice. This gripping narrative detailing Slepian's efforts to exonerate six wrongfully convicted men was named one of Amazon’s Best Books of the Year and was nominated for a 2024 Goodreads Choice Award for Readers' Favorite Nonfiction.

In his presentations, Slepian often includes exonerees like JJ Velazquez, whom he visited more than 250 times in Sing Sing Correctional Facility over a span of 20 years. His approach to public speaking is rooted in his aim to provide educational experiences that promote understanding, build bridges, and discuss pathways to reform. He is particularly invested in discussions involving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, bringing a profound sense of empathy and understanding to these critical topics.
