Susan Antilla
Susan Antilla is practicing journalist as well as an adjunct professor of journalism at New York University.
A self-professed high school troublemaker at her parochial school in New Rochelle, N.Y, she became a successful journalist and author.[1] In 1994, she became the focus of controversy when she wrote an article for the New York Times that repeated false rumors suggesting Presstek Inc. CEO Robert Howard was really a convicted felon named Howard Finkelstein.[2] The Times published an apology, and in 2000 Antilla was eventually ordered to pay damages of $480,000 to Howard.[3] The court judgment was reversed in 2002.[4] In 1997, Howard and Presstek were fined $2.9 million by the SEC for distributing false information to investors.[5]
Antilla has headed the Money section of USA Today and the financial bureau of the Baltimore Sun. She's also a columnist for Bloomberg.
Antilla is the author of Tales From the Boom-Boom Room (2002), an expose of sexual harassment on Wall Street in the 1990s, focusing especially upon Smith Barney.[6]
Antilla currently resides in Connecticut.[citation needed]
