Catie Beck

Catie Beck, an Emmy award-winning journalist, has been hired by Scripps News as a national investigative correspondent. She previously worked for six years as a national correspondent for NBC News. Her first day at Scripps News is Sept. 25.

“This is a journey back to the work I love most, the work that leaves me full and hopeful,” Beck says. “Investigative reporting changes the world, changes people, fixes broken systems and opens minds. That’s the dream I’m after.”

At NBC News, Beck traveled the country to report national stories across platforms, covering everything from natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey in Houston to mass shootings like the one at a Parkland, Fla., high school.

Before joining NBC, she won multiple Emmy awards for investigations into government corruption in Atlanta and Richmond, Va. She has won numerous Edward R. Murrow Awards, as well as awards from The Associated Press, the Atlanta Press Club, as well as the Virginia and Georgia Association of Broadcasters.

Beck earned her B.A. in communications and media studies from Fordham University and received her M.A. from American University in broadcast journalism.
