Dively luncheon lecture brings NBC News' Meet the Press moderator to campus

David Gregory was named moderator of NBC News' Meet the Press on Dec. 7, 2008. In addition to his Meet the Press responsibilities, Gregory is a regular contributor for Today and serves as a back-up anchor for the broadcast. He also is a regular contributor and analyst on MSNBC, lending his voice and reporting to all NBC News broadcasts including coverage of special events.

Gregory first joined NBC News in 1995. He served as White House correspondent during the presidency of George W. Bush, reporting extensively on the 9-11 attacks as well as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Gregory covered the 2000, 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns.

Earning a reputation for being one of the toughest questioners of President Bush and his press secretaries, Washingtonian magazine named Gregory one of Washington's 50 best and most influential journalists, labeling him the "firebrand in the front row."

On the campaign trail in 2004 and during his years covering the White House, Gregory was among the most heavily utilized network correspondents on television, according to the Tyndall Report.

Beyond politics, he has covered nearly every major story for the network, from the O.J. Simpson case and the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh to the impeachment of President Clinton and the death of Pope John Paul II.

Gregory and his family live in Washington, D.C.
