James Earle Breslin (October 17, 1928 – March 19, 2017) was an American journalist and author. Until the time of his death, he wrote a column for the New York Daily News Sunday edition.[1][2] He wrote numerous novels, and columns of his appeared regularly in various newspapers in his hometown of New York City. He served as a regular columnist for the Long Island newspaper Newsday[3] until his retirement on November 2, 2004, though he still published occasional pieces for the paper until his death.
He was known for his newspaper columns that became the brash embodiment of the street-smart New Yorker, chronicling wise guys and big-city power brokers but always offered a sympathetic viewpoint of the white working-class people of New York City,[4] and was awarded the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary "for columns which consistently champion ordinary citizens."[5][6]
