Thinking Outside the Crime and Justice Box

Diane Dimond is a modern-day journalist who defies category. She’s been called “a renaissance broadcaster” for her versatility on-air and “a reporter’s reporter” for her consistently high-quality investigative storytelling.

Dimond’s greatest talent may be her ability to communicate complicated stories in an understandable, common-sense way, utilizing multimedia platforms to tell the crime and justice stories she finds so fascinating.

Diane is a special correspondent for Newsweek/The Daily Beast, where she has reported on some of the day’s most headline-grabbing crime-related stories.

When there is a breaking crime story you can often see Dimond’s thoughtful commentary on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Court TV (TruTV) and other cable outlets. Dimond is also an accomplished narrator and voiceover artist and is the voice of the long-running “Disorder in the Court” on TruTV.

Diane Dimond may be best known for first exposing then explaining to the world the child-molestation charges against Michael Jackson. Dimond’s coverage of Jackson’s criminal trial was seen by millions on Court TV, NBC’s “Today” show, MSNBC, “Larry King Live” and news outlets worldwide. Her book on Jackson, “Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case,” is an explosive tome detailing Dimond’s exclusive revelations from 1993 when she first broke the story -- to the case 10 years later when, once again, Dimond was the first to report the charges against Jackson.

Diane lives in Rockland County, New York, with her husband, fellow broadcast journalist and voiceover artist Michael Schoen.
