Lisa Myers

Award-winning journalist

Lisa Myers is an award-winning Senior Investigative Correspondent for NBC News, a seasoned political analyst, and one of the most respected journalists in the country. Her groundbreaking reports on the war on terror, politics, Iraq, assorted political and corporate scandals, and the Pentagon's sometimes broken military procurement system have triggered official investigations and won critical acclaim.

Myers can be seen on the top-rated NBC "Nightly News with Brian Williams," "Today," "Meet the Press," MSNBC and CNBC.

In 2007, Myers and her team received some of the most prestigious awards in journalism for their multi-part investigation exposing efforts by the US Army to scuttle a promising technology, called "Trophy," designed to protect soldiers from rocket-propelled grenades.

The series won the George Polk Award for investigative reporting, the Joan Barone Award for Washington reporting, a Business Emmy and a Gerald Loeb Award.

Myers and NBC's investigative team also have been recognized repeatedly for coverage of 9-11, global terrorism, politics and contracting problems in Iraq. They received an Edward R. Murrow award for a series on missed opportunities in both the Clinton and Bush administrations to move more aggressively against Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, which aired, for the first time, a top secret CIA surveillance tape of Bin Laden prior to 9-11. An investigation which revealed gaping holes in the crackdown on terrorist financiers received a Business Emmy in 2005.

On the domestic front, Myers' memorable reports on the bungling, incompetence and waste at all levels of government in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were a key component of NBC's much-heralded coverage, which was recognized with prestigious Peabody and DuPont awards. She and her team also won a Business Emmy for "Congress' Private Air Force"--exposing how corporations curry favor with politicians by providing access to corporate jets.
