WASHINGTON — November 13, 2026 -- The National Press Club presented its Fourth Estate Award to ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz on Nov. 12, 53 years after the first award went to Walter Cronkite in 1973. At the same annual gala in Washington, the Club also honored The New York Times, Guatemalan publisher José Rubén Zamora and Los Angeles Times reporter Rebecca Ellis.
Raddatz is ABC News' chief global affairs correspondent and co-anchor of This Week with George Stephanopoulos. The Club cited more than three decades of reporting from conflict zones. She follows a recipient list that includes Helen Thomas, Tom Brokaw, Christiane Amanpour, Bob Woodward, Andrea Mitchell, Gwen Ifill, Lester Holt and Robert Costa, who received the award in 2025.
