Michel Martin has spent more than 25 years as a journalist, covering stories for national print, television, and radio news media. Her credits include 14 years at ABC News, where she served as correspondent for Nightline and covered such events as the congressional budget battles, Hurricane Katrina, and the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa; her work with ABC covering the international campaign to ban the use of landmines was honored with an Emmy award.
