Issues and Answers was ABC's response to such TV programs as NBC's Meet the Press and CBS's Face the Nation.

It featured TV reporters interviewing selected newsmakers of the contemporary time period – mostly government officials, both domestic and foreign.

Unlike the other networks' news-interview TV programs, which featured newspaper and radio reporters along with TV correspondents, Issues and Answers more commonly featured only ABC News correspondents.

For its entire run it was produced by Margaret "Peggy" Whedon, one of ABC's first female correspondents.
