Peter Greenberg

A multiple Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and producer, Peter Greenberg is America’s most recognized, honored, and respected front-line travel news journalist. He is the Travel Editor for CBS News and appears on "CBS Mornings," "CBS Evening News," and "Sunday Morning," among other broadcast platforms.

Greenberg also produces and co-hosts an ongoing, long-running series of acclaimed global public television specials on PBS, Amazon, and Apple TV. One example is “The Royal Tour,” which features personal, one-on-one journeys through countries with their heads of state, including the King of Jordan, Prime Ministers of New Zealand and Israel, and Presidents of Mexico and Peru. Greenberg’s newest special features the President of Tanzania.

The consummate insider on reporting the travel business as news, Greenberg also hosts the television show "The Travel Detective with Peter Greenberg," which airs on Public Television. The series offers cutting-edge travel information and insider tips you need to know before you ever leave home, plus in-depth reports on the good, bad, and, yes, even ugly aspects of travel.

For the past eight years, Greenberg has also hosted a series of one-hour global television specials called "HIDDEN," which reveal special destinations and unique experiences that you won’t find in guidebooks or brochures. Recent episodes include Turkey, Poland, the Canary Islands, Uganda, Belize, Saudi Arabia, and Ireland, to name a few. He's just finished producing Hidden Egypt, which premieres later this year. On radio, he hosts the nationally syndicated CBS News “Eye on Travel,” broadcast each week from a different remote location worldwide and is heard on hundreds of CBS radio stations across the U.S.

Travel Weekly named him one of the most influential people in travel, along with Bill Marriott and Richard Branson. He was also inducted into the U.S. Travel Association’s Hall of Leaders for his contributions to the travel industry. Among his other honors, Greenberg received a News & Documentary Emmy Award as part of the “Dateline” team for outstanding coverage of a breaking news story, “Miracle on the Hudson.”

Greenberg began his career in journalism as a West Coast correspondent for Newsweek in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He won a national Emmy Award (Best Investigative Reporting) for his ABC “20/20” special on the final orphan flight out of Vietnam, “What Happened to the Children?”
