(WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 9, 2012) – The White House News Photographers Association (WHNPA) announced today that they will present Ed Eaves of NBC News with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2012 ‘Eyes of History’ annual awards gala Saturday, May 5, 2012, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC.

Ed began his television career in Little Rock in 1974. In 1983 he moved to Washington as a staff editor for ABC News and traveled extensively covering assignments for many of ABC’s news programs. Ed covered the 1991 gulf war from Saudi Arabia and was among the first journalists to reach Kuwait City at its conclusion. In 1998, Ed joined NBC News as a senior segment editor/producer for Dateline NBC. At NBC, Ed continued his travels for the Olympics and presidential trips. Ed currently is a staff editor / producer for Rock Center with Brian Williams.

Ed’s editing work has been honored with numerous awards, including the Emmy, the Edward R. Murrow, the George Polk, the National Press Photographers Association, and the White House News Photographers Association. In 2012 alone he won 4 awards, including two first place honors, in the WHNPA’s 2012 “Eyes of History” competition. He is also a member of the WHNPA board, serves on the Video contest committee, has been active in the association’s programs, and for the last eight years has been co-producer of the annual awards gala.

In accepting the award Ed said, “To be recognized by the professional photojournalists of the White House News Photographers Association is a great honor, it was such a unexpected surprise. This award means a great deal to me.”

Antoine Sanfuentes, Vice President and Washington Bureau Chief of NBC News, said, “We are extremely proud of Ed’s achievements. This is a testament to what he does every single day and, most importantly, what Ed brings to NBC News.

Ron Sachs, WHNPA president, commented, “Ed’s professional accomplishments are certainly impressive. What exemplifies Ed is his long-standing commitment to the WHNPA and its many programs. This is truly a well-deserved honor.”

The White House News Photographers Association is a 91-year-old non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the efforts of Washington’s professional photojournalists. The WHNPA aims to provide professional and educational outreach to its members and the community through scholarships, programming, an annual competition and a celebration of the industry at the annual “Eyes of HistoryTM” gala.

Deadline Every Second: On Assignment with 12 Associated Press Photojournalists

Thursday, March 22 at 7 p.m.

Film and Discussion

Every day, more than a billion of us see dramatic Associated Press-credited photographs in newspapers and magazines and on the Internet. Deadline Every Second goes behind the scenes as 12 of the world’s top AP photographers gather breaking stories, from 9/11 and clashes in the Middle East to fires threatening Santa Barbara and cyclists racing in the Tour de France; from one photojournalist’s wounds in a suicide bombing in Pakistan to another’s imprisonment for his coverage in Iraq. In this impressive, action-packed film, the photographers and their editors share the stories behind the global headlines. Ken Kobré—filmmaker, award-winning photojournalist and author, and head of the photojournalism program at San Francisco State University—leads a discussion with several AP staffers after the screening.
