Katy Tur Facts

Apart from English, she is also fluent in Spanish.

In 2017, she was honored with the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism.

The NBC network made her the embedded reporter for Donald Trump‘s campaign for the 2016 US Presidential Campaign. Her criticism and the negative coverage of Trump’s campaign led to her being booed by his supporters at his rallies. She later penned an article for Marie Claire in which she discussed her experience of covering the Trump campaign and the negative treatment dished out at his rallies.

In September 2017, she published her book, Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History, in which she once again recounted Trump’s Presidential Campaign.
