ABCNEWS' Betsy Stark

— -- Betsy Stark is the Business Correspondent for ABCNEWS. Her reports on the economy, Wall Street, business trends and companies around the world are featured regularly on World News Tonight, Good Morning America, ABCNEWS radio and ABCNEWS.com.

Stark is an accomplished financial journalist who has covered most of the major business stories of the last two decades. Her regular coverage of the stock market, the job market, housing costs, energy prices, and tax policy helps keep viewers abreast of the economic issues that matter most to them. Her depth of experience is matched by her ability to make complex subjects accessible to a general audience.

Before joining ABCNEWS in 1998, Stark worked at Dow Jones for 10 years, where she was correspondent and later senior producer of the weekly Wall Street Journal Report. In 1996, she was named anchor and editor of her own live, daily business news program, Heard on the Street A.M, produced by Dow Jones for a local New York station. She also anchored its public affairs program, Metro Journal, which won an award for local political coverage in its first year.

More recently, for her work at ABCNEWS, the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants honored Stark with an "Excellence in Financial Journalism Award" for a story titled "Paying Down the Debt." She also received a Hess Campaign Report Award from the Brookings Institute for a report entitled "Anti-Business Populism," examining a Gore campaign strategy.

She is the winner of an Emmy award for her participation in ABC's millennium coverage and the winner of a George Foster Peabody award for her participation in the network's coverage of 9/11.

Earlier in her career, as a documentary producer for Inside Story, the PBS series on the media, she was honored with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Reporting.

Stark is a graduate of Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
