Mike Barnicle

Since 1982, Mike Barnicle has been a regular contributor to WCVB-TV's Chronicle, the station's unique, locally-produced nightly newsmagazine. Following a leave of absence, he returned to Chronicle in January, 1999.

Barnicle is known for his biting, to-the-point commentaries, both in print and on television. He has hosted several award-winning documentaries for WCVB, including, "Armed and Dangerous", an incisive look at the proliferation of guns in this country, and "Justice On Trial," a critical examination of the Massachusetts judicial system. He also reported and hosted "Suffer The Children," a moving documentary about children at risk.

A 1965 graduate of Boston University and a native Bostonian, he has also written political speeches for a variety of well-known political figures, including the late Robert F. Kennedy and the late Hubert H. Humphrey.

Barnicle resides in Lincoln, Mass. with his wife, Anne Finucane, and their four children.
