Bob Schieffer, CBS' Face the Nation anchor and moderator and a recent inductee into Broadcasting & Cable's Hall of Fame, has been named the 2003 recipient of the Radio-Television News Directors Association's "Paul White Award."
Schieffer will be honored at a dinner April 7 at the combined RTNDA/National Association of Broadcasters convention.
"Bob Schieffer has illuminated the most important stories of our time with fairness, insight and a touch of humor," RTNDA president Barbara Cochran said in announcing the selection.
Schieffer has covered Washington, D.C., for more than 30 years, including the four principal beats: White House, State Department, Congress and Pentagon.
He has been CBS' chief Washington correspondent since 1982.
The award, named after CBS' first news director, honors a "lifetime contribution to electronic journalism."
"I am surprised, stunned, humbled and honored," Schieffer said when given the news.
