Martha Raddatz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martha Raddatz (born 1953, Salt Lake City, Utah [1]) is an ABC News reporter. In November 2005 she was promoted to Chief White House Correspondent. Before that time she was ABC's senior national security correspondent. She often reports on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson, Nightline, and other news broadcasts. Raddatz has also worked for National Public Radio. She resides in Arlington, VA with her husband Tom Gjelten. She has a daughter, Greta Bradlee.
On June 8, 2006, Raddatz received a tip that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been located and killed. This tip allowed Raddatz and ABC News to become the first news organization in the world to break the news shortly after 2:30 AM EST.[2]
On January 9, 2007, Raddatz's mobile phone went off during a White House press briefing with Tony Snow. Of particular humor was her musical ring tone Chamillionaire's, "Ridin'." The press corps and Tony Snow enjoyed a few moments of laughter. [3]
