Host of Inside Politics Weekend
Wolf Blitzer is CNN's senior White House correspondent and the host of Inside Politics Weekend. Inside Politics Weekend airs Saturdays from 7:30 - 8 p.m. and replays Sundays from 10:30 - 11 a.m. (ET). Blitzer has covered President Bill Clinton since his election in November 1992. In 1994, American Journalism Review cited him and CNN as the overwhelming choice of readers for the coveted Best in the Business Award for "best network coverage of the Clinton administration."
Previously, Blitzer served as CNN's military affairs correspondent at the Pentagon from 1990 - 1992. For more than two decades, Blitzer has reported on a wide range of major breaking stories around the world. He was in Egypt in 1977, covering the first Israeli-Egyptian peace conference. In 1979, he accompanied President Carter to Egypt and Israel during the final round of negotiations that resulted in the signing of the peace treaty. In 1982, Mr. Blitzer was in Beirut during the withdrawal of PLO and Syrian forces. He was also among the first Western reporters invited into KGB headquarters in Moscow for a rare inside look into the Soviet intelligence apparatus. He returned to Moscow in December 1991 to cover the collapse of the Soviet Union and the transition from Mikhail Gorbachev to Boris Yeltsin. After many years of reporting from the nation's capital, including as Washington correspondent of The Jerusalem Post, Blitzer joined CNN in 1990.
