PoliticoDan Hirschhorn is a journalist working in Washington, D.C.. He is known for his web-based political reporting.
He attended Brandeis University.[1] While at Brandeis, Dan Hirschhorn was editor in chief of the Brandeis independent student newspaper the Justice.[2] Following graduation, he worked as a journalist for The Bulletin in Philadelphia.[1] During his tenure at The Bulletin, Dan Hirschhorn won an award for enterprise reporting from the Pennsylvania Associated Press Managing Editors for a series of pieces concerning the Philadelphia Family Court.[3] He was the "Philly-based half" of PolitickerPA, a political news Web site operated by The New York Observer media company.[4]
After the PolitickerPA Web site was folded into the national Politicker Network, Hirschhorn founded pa2010.com, a political news Web site dedicated to the 2010 election cycle in Pennsylvania.[4] News items first appearing on pa2010.com have appeared in other media, including stories about Arlen Specter returning $100,000 in campaign contributions from Republicans after he changed parties,[5] that Jack Wagner would run for Pennsylvania governor,[6] and that Joe Hoeffel was "mulling" a run for Governor.[7]
In October 2010 Hirschhorn moved to Washington, D.C., where he joined the online newspaper Politico as the Deputy 2012 Editor.
