Ann Compton was the first woman assigned by a television network to cover the White House, and her longevity and impact have been considered unmatched over her 41 years on the air for ABC News. After retiring from daily coverage in 2014, Ann was brought back to cover the 2016 political conventions for ABC. Ann Compton’s career at ABC News spanned seven presidents and ten presidential campaigns for the network. She was assigned to the White House in 1974 as the Watergate scandal came to an end. In what she considers the most significant story of her career, Ann was traveling with the President on September 11, 2001, and was the only broadcast reporter allowed to remain onboard Air Force One to report on behalf of all the press during the chaotic hours after the terrorist attacks when George W. Bush was unable to return directly to Washington. For that coverage Ann received special note in the awards bestowed on ABC’s coverage, including an Emmy, a Peabody, and the Silver Baton from the DuPont awards at Columbia University. A member of the Governing Council of the Miller Center for the study of the presidency at The University of Virginia, Ann Compton was chairman of the Radio-Television Correspondents’ Association on Capitol Hill in 1987-1988.  Twice Ann was selected as a panelist on the formal presidential campaign debates and was elected by her colleagues as President of the White House Correspondents’ Association for 2007-2008. Ann has been inducted into six Halls of Fame and has received five honorary university degrees.
