[1] Over two-and-a-half decades, appearing on World News, Nightline, 20/20, and Good Morning America, Dobbs won two national Emmys[2][3] and was nominated for more.
He reported in the United States on everything from PTSD to sexual offender laws to advances with stem cell treatments to abuse of the Indian Trust, and overseas on topics as varied as the legacy of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the stalemate U.S.-funded drug war in Colombia, and the aftermath of Apartheid in South Africa.
He also provided live reports, along with Dan Rather, on primary and general election nights in 2008, and covered the U.S. space program for HDNet, anchoring live from Florida for every space shuttle launch after the Columbia disaster.
Also, for six years Dobbs hosted the television program Colorado State of Mind on Rocky Mountain PBS, for which he won another Emmy.
Besides his book Life in the Wrong Lane,[4] which is about the wacky things journalists have to do just to get to the point of reporting a story, Dobbs also is the author of a university-level journalism textbook called Better Broadcast Writing, Better Broadcast News.
