On September 10, 2007, Inside Edition begun its 20th season as television's longest-running, top-rated and most-honored syndicated newsmagazine, building upon a successful season in which the show made headlines, received industry accolades and, once again, ranked in the top-10 first-run syndicated programs, a distinction it's held for the past 19 years.

Anchored by veteran newswoman Deborah Norville since 1995, and backed by a dedicated staff of correspondents and producers, the daily newsmagazine has built its enduring success by presenting a compelling mix of hard-hitting investigations, exclusive newsmaker interviews and human-interest stories, as well as celebrity and pop culture features.

Norville, the series' on-air core, is a two-time Emmy Award winner actively involved in all aspects of the broadcast. Working with her is an experienced team of broadcast journalists, overseen by Executive Producer Charles Lachman, with Co-Executive Producer Esther Pessin, Managing Editor Kevin Harry, and Senior Producers Peter Herdrich and Brian Hendel.

One of Inside Edition's best-known elements is its award-winning investigative unit, headed by Senior Producer Bob Read and Senior Investigative Correspondent Matt Meagher. Their work combines extensive research and surveillance, as well as hard-hitting interviews. Inside Edition's Investigative Unit made headlines with a report on the unchecked flow of alcohol aboard cruise ships. This story prompted one cruise line to re-examine its alcohol policies, which included retraining its employees and raising the age of passengers allowed to buy alcohol. Another report exposed the severe rodent infestation several restaurants had succumbed to in cities such as Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. The investigation led to several restaurants being investigated by the respective state's board of health and in some severe cases subsequently being shut down.

Inside Edition also made news last year when it landed an exclusive interview with the now de-throned Miss Nevada, who lost her crown due to provocative photos of herself emerging on the Internet. Inside Edition reported extensively on several cases making national headlines, including the Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton trials. Inside Edition also obtained exclusive video of Phil Spector, proclaiming his innocence in the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, for which he is now standing trial.

Other members of the Inside Edition team are correspondents Diane McInerney, Paul Boyd, Jim Moret, Les Trent, April Woodard, Lisa Guerrero, Megan Alexander and Kristina Guerrero. Boyd and McInerney are also the co-anchors of Inside Edition Weekend.

The work of the Inside Edition team has resulted in numerous awards for journalistic excellence unmatched by any other syndicated newsmagazine program. The awards include The George Polk, Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi, National Press Club, National Headliner, Investigative Reporters and Editors, Deadline Club, Overseas Press Club, National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators, Fund for Animals, American Woman in Radio and Television and National Women's Political Caucus. For its riveting coverage of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Inside Edition was honored with a National Headliner Award, Deadline Club Award and Clarion Award, and was nominated for an Emmy.

Inside Edition premiered in the 1988-89 season, when the syndicated newsmagazine genre was at its peak. It is the only series among that original group that has remained continually on the air since then, and, as its ratings prove, continues to thrive. According to the late Roger King, a major reason for the series' longevity is its evolution into a newsmagazine viewed as competitive with such primetime broadcasts as "Dateline" and "20/20." "When Inside Edition was launched, the syndicated newsmagazine format was young and, in many ways, brash," he notes. "Over the years, Deborah, our producers and our correspondents have worked hard and successfully brought Inside Edition into maturity. With its investigations and exclusives, Inside Edition has established itself as a credible, powerful news leader among its primetime peers and viewers."

A two-time Emmy Award winner, Norville joined Inside Edition in 1995 from CBS News, where she anchored "America Tonight" and reported for "48 Hours," "Street Stories" and "CBS Evening News." Prior to working at CBS, she hosted the nationally syndicated "Deborah Norville Radio Show," which was heard on more than 200 stations via the ABC Radio network. At NBC, she served as news anchor and, later, co-host of NBC'S "Today," positions that followed her tenure as anchor of "NBC News At Sunrise." She briefly returned to NBC News to anchor the primetime "Deborah Norville Tonight" on MSNBC, while simultaneously anchoring Inside Edition.

Inside Edition is produced daily at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and produced and distributed by CBS Television Distribution, a unit of CBS Corp.
