View the WordPress codex docs on wordpress.org under ‘bulk edit’ for posts screen — works very well.

I just did this after migrating our old custom CMS into WordPress, and had some random items (about 500 out of 12,000) not assigned to a user/author, so I had to select them, click the bulk edit, hit apply, go to the drop downs, choose new author, click apply. Done.
