Born in Rochester, New York on November 24, 1954, she graduated cum laude from Wesleyan University in 1976. She is the sister of Candace O'Connor.[citation needed]
She worked for 14 years at the Hartford Courant, rising to the rank of assistant managing editor for features. O'Connor led the creation and/or redesign of many of that newspaper's feature sections. She left in 2003 for the Houston Chronicle, where she became deputy managing editor/features. At the Chronicle, she wrote a daily memo to her staff about trends in popular culture and discoveries she made about life in Houston, eventually turning the memo into MeMo,[1] one of the Chronicle's first blogs. As of 2007[update], she remains deputy managing editor of that newspaper[2] and a frequent panelist on the National Public Radio show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.[3]
