Bob Dotson – @bobdotson
Bob Dotson has traveled more than four million miles, crisscrossing America almost nonstop for half a century, searching for people who are practically invisible, the ones who change our lives, but don’t take time to tweet and tell us about it. His long-running series, "The American Story with Bob Dotson," was a regular feature on "The Today Show" until his retirement on the 40th anniversary of the day he joined NBC.
The former NBC National News Correspondent is one of the most honored storytellers of our time. He earned 120 national and international awards for producing and reporting, including six Edward R. Murrow Awards for Best Network News Writing (a record) and 12 more for reporting. He also received eight National Emmy Awards and 11 nominations. The Society of Professional Journalists cited Bob’s columns as the “best in new media.” He recently joined Walter Cronkite as the latest recipient of the William Allen White Foundation National Citation for Journalistic Excellence. His work also has been honored with the Sprague Award from the National Press Photographers Association and grand prizes from duPont-Columbia University and the Robert F. Kennedy Awards. Bob is also an internationally acclaimed documentary producer. His film, "El Capitan's Courageous Climbers" (NBC Productions), was the winner of seven International film and video festivals and was awarded documentary's highest honor, the CINE Grand Prize. He is the author of four books, including The New York Times best-selling "American Story: A Lifetime Search for Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things." His newest book, "Make it Memorable: Writing and Packaging Visual News with Style," is being studied on 26 campuses and in newsrooms around the world.
