Featured Speaker - John Stossel
John Stossel joined the ABC NEWS newsmagazine 20/20 in 1981 and began doing one-hour primetime specials in 1994. The specials, which have consistently rated among the top news programs when broadcast, have earned Stossel uncommon praise: "The most consistently thought-provoking TV reporter of our time", said the Dallas Morning News.
In a new segment for 20/20 called "Give Me a Break," Stossel has taken skeptical looks at people who want to censor cartoons, regulate flagpoles and have Congress rule on what prices are "fair." Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards.
He has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
