ABC News has added Deborah Roberts as a contributing anchor to its primetime news program “20/20.” The Emmy award-winning broadcaster currently serves as senior national affairs correspondent for “Nightline,” “Good Morning America” and “World News Tonight with David Muir.”
In a news release, the network said Roberts has reported for “20/20” since 1995.
“Deborah has been awarded multiple Emmy Awards for her international and national coverage of world events, including her reporting on an Ethiopian American woman’s emotional journey back to her African village to discover her long-lost mother,” said ABC News President Kim Goodwin.
Roberts was awarded a Peabody Award for the “20/20” special “Say Her Name: Breonna Taylor,” which featured her extensive reporting on Taylor’s tragic case.
“Deborah will continue to join “20/20” co-anchors David Muir and Amy Robach, executive producer Janice Johnston and the entire “20/20” team in delivering the No. 1 news magazine on Fridays, which continues to lead the way with world-class, award-winning storytelling,” added Goodwin.
