Legends of Broadcast: Dan Raviv

Former CBS News correspondent, Dan Raviv, will be the National Press Club Broadcast & Podcast Team's newest guest at its series of "Legends of Broadcast” on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

Dan Raviv was a correspondent for the recently shuttered CBS News Radio for 40 years, covering stories — broadcasting the first audio draft of history — in dozens of countries. Walking through Red Square with Reagan and Gorbachev, standing on the Berlin Wall as it fell, anchoring coverage of Princess Diana's wedding and also her funeral, in the Los Angeles courtroom when O.J. Simpson was acquitted, calmly taking the CBS mic for eight hours on 9/11 and also on election nights, and covering Middle East war and peace: "tons of deadlines and travel," Dan says, "but truly a privilege." Dan also did TV reports for CBS and for i24, and he has written eight books. A Harvard graduate, he resides in Virginia with his wife Dori Phaff, and he has a weekly podcast, "The Mossad Files."

These limited-access informal events allow NPC members and their guests to hear the honoree's remarks and participate in an intimate Q&A.

Cost of the three-course dinner with 2 glasses of wine is $70 for National Press Club members.

A cash bar reception will begin at 6 p.m. with introductions and dinner following at 6:45. Our guest of honor will make remarks and then open the floor to an informal Q&A session to end by 8:30.
