Steve Hartman

Steve Hartman (born April 14, 1963) is a columnist and correspondent for CBS News.

From 1984-87, Hartman served as an intern and general assignment reporter for WTOL in Toledo, Ohio. From 1987-91, he was a feature reporter for KSTP in Minneapolis and held the same post at WABC-TV in New York from 1991-94. From 1994-98, he served as a feature reporter and hosted a segment "The Stevening News" for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles. Hartman was also a correspondent for two CBS News magazines, "Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel" (1997-98) and "Coast to Coast" (1996-97). In 1998, Hartman became a full-time CBS News correspondent and in 2002, he joined "60 Minutes II" as a columnist before the show was canceled September 2 2005.

Hartman is best known for his award-winning feature series, "Everybody Has a Story", based on his belief in a theory of the same name. To prove his point, Hartman would throw a dart at a map of the United States and then travel with his cameraman Les Rose to wherever the dart would land. Upon arrival, Hartman would find a phonebook and randomly call someone in the book, hoping to tell their "story." His adventures took him around the country, from Hawaii to Alaska, from Buckhannon, West Virginia to Miami, Florida. Hartman got the idea from newspaper reporter David Johnson of the "Lewiston [Idaho] Morning Tribune".

Hartman also gained national attention for his story on Jason McElwain, an autistic high school basketball manager, who ended up playing in a game and scoring twenty points in just four minutes. CBS received so many requests to re-broadcast the episode on McElwain after it aired that they did so the next night.

Hartman's current series, "Assignment America", airs Fridays on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. In Assignment America, Hartman finds three interesting stories and lets the American public select which one they'd most like to see. Fact|date=April 2008
