Lisa Fletcher

The coverage she anchored of the Thurston High shootings was honored with an Edward R. Murrow Award for broadcast excellence.

She also co-hosted a Sunday morning political talk show with veteran news man Cary Pfeffer.

[7] Fletcher won the prestigious Nancy Dickerson Whitehead Medallion and a $10,000 award for her stories that exposed children abusing over-the-counter medications, resulting in their tragic deaths.

Fletcher and her producer donated their $10,000 in prize money to a Phoenix area agency whose mission is to help kids stay off drugs.

[1] Then ABC News President David Westin said Fletcher had "a distinguished resume of hard-hitting investigative reports that have led to reforms in government and business.

While reporting for ABC News, Fletcher was assigned to stories including the in-depth examination of Sarah Palin's record and standing during the 2008 presidential campaign,[9] the Governor Mark Sanford political scandal in Argentina,[10] the Craigslist Killer in Boston,[11] the OJ Simpson trial and sentencing in Las Vegas[12] and exclusive, daily coverage of the Michael Jackson death investigation.

WJLA news director Mitch Jacobs noted that there were unanswered questions that contributed to the decision to kill the story, including Dao's behavior before videos of the incident started and the apology of the United CEO.
