Bonnie Stiernberg

Bonnie Stiernberg is InsideHook's Managing Editor. Originally hailing from Chicago, she graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 2009 with a BA in News-Editorial Journalism and wrote about music for The Deli Chicago and Chicago INNERVIEW Magazine before accepting an internship at Paste Magazine and moving to Atlanta in 2010. Eventually, she worked her way up at the publication, serving as Music Editor for nearly seven years and TV Editor for five. She has penned cover stories on Father John Misty, Wilco, Carrie Brownstein, The Flaming Lips and "Mad Men"'s John Slattery and Vincent Kartheiser, compiled an oral history of "The Wonder Years," written "Best of What's Next" profiles on The Civil Wars and Alabama Shakes long before they broke out and interviewed legends like Mavis Staples, Elvis Costello, The Band's Robbie Robertson and the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten. After leaving Paste and relocating to Brooklyn in 2016, she wrote for publications like Billboard, Rolling Stone, Glamour, GRAMMY.com, Vice, No Depression, The Bluegrass Situation and more. Since first joining InsideHook in 2019, she has covered all things pop culture-related for the site, whether it's interviewing Alice Cooper or reviewing the latest buzzy HBO series. She also is a craft beer enthusiast who has spent countless hours chatting with brewers, attending beer festivals and tossing back a few cold ones in the name of journalism. (It's a tough gig, but someone's gotta do it.) When she's not working, she enjoys being tortured by her beloved Chicago Cubs.
