![]() DIANE DIMOND
Diane Dimond is a modern day journalist who defies a category. She’s been called “A renaissance broadcaster” for her versatility on-air and “A reporter’s reporter” for her consistently high-quality investigative storytelling. Dimond’s greatest talent may be her ability to speak of complicated stories in an understandable, common-sense way. Most recently Diane was seen by millions on Court TV, NBC’s Today Show, MSNBC, Larry King Live and news outlets worldwide reporting on the Michael Jackson child molestation case. Her book on Jackson, “Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case”, published by Simon and Schuster and released in November 2005, is an explosive tome detailing Dimond’s exclusive revelations from 1993 when she first broke the story - to the case 10 years later when, once again, Dimond was the first to report the second charge of molestation.
Diane Dimond began her broadcasting career in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At the 50 thousand watt KOB Radio she wrote and anchored the morning newscasts and her investigative series on corruption within the local sheriff’s department earned her the prestigious Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association. In 1976, Dimond moved across the country to Washington, DC to anchor newscasts for National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” In 1980 she became Correspondent for the RKO Radio Network, assigned to cover Capitol Hill, the White House and various Washington agencies. She became the networks National Political Correspondent and covered the campaigns of both President Ronald Reagan and his challenger Walter Mondale. Finally making a move into television in 1986 Dimond’s first TV news job was at the flagship CBS Station in New York. At WCBS she earned several awards for covering such groundbreaking stories as the “Baby M” surrogate mother case. Dimond went into syndicated television in 1990 when she became the investigative reporter for the program Hard Copy. Time Magazine cited Diane’s continuing coverage of the Michael Jackson story as among "The Best TV of '93". Dimond also made headlines when she acquired and aired the actual interrogation tape of OJ Simpson being questioned by the Los Angeles police department. She then anchored the nationally syndicated program EXTRA and made headlines with her expose of the deceptive practices of the Jerry Springer show, among other investigative reports.
