Ann Curry has distinguished herself in global humanitarian reporting. From March 2006 to March 2007, Ann Curry traveled three times to Sudan to report on the violence and ethnic cleansing taking place in Darfur and Chad. While there, Ann Curry provided in-depth reports focusing on the victims who have been caught in the deadly conflict in that region, and she also conducted exclusive interviews with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Chadian President Idrsiss Deby. In July 2006, Ann Curry reported on the Israel-Lebanon war, and she was one of the only American reporters to file stories on both sides of the conflict from Beruit and Northern Israel. In the summer of 2005, Ann Curry traveled with First Lady Laura Bush throughout Africa to discuss issues that plague the continent such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic and women's rights and education. Ann Curry was the first network news anchor to report from inside the tsunami zone in Southeast Asia, filing live and taped reports from Sri Lanka for "Dateline," "Today" and "NBC Nightly News." Ann Curry was also the first network news anchor to report on the humanitarian refugee crisis caused by the genocide in Kosovo, reporting for NBC News from Albania and Macedonia. In the first two weeks following the attacks of September 11, Ann Curry reported live from ground zero every day. When the United States bombed Al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan in November 2001, Ann Curry reported extensively from the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Sea, and landed the first exclusive interview with the war's military commander, General Tommy Franks. Ann Curry reported from Baghdad in the weeks leading up to the war in Iraq, and then from the USS Constellation as the war began, interviewing fighter pilots who flew the first wave of bombing runs over Iraq. Ann Curry also filed reports from inside Iraq, from Qatar, and Kuwait during the first weeks of the war.
Ann Curry's exclusive interviews include Liberia's Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female elected President of an African nation, the first highly sought after interview with Thomas Hamill, the truck driver for Halliburton subsidiary KBR, who escaped captivity in Iraq, the first interview with accused spy Wen Ho Lee after he was cleared of all charges of espionage against the United States, and the first interview with the parents of the McCaughey septuplets. Ann Curry has also repeatedly landed the first exclusive interview with Lance Armstrong after his Tour de France wins. Ann Curry first joined NBC News in August 1990 as a Chicago-based correspondent.
