Investigative Journalist & Crime Reporter; Emmy Award Winner; Former Correspondent for "America's Most Wanted"
Jon Leiberman Biography
Jon Leiberman is an Emmy Award-winning investigative correspondent, host, producer, and victim advocate whose career spans television, radio, and print journalism. He holds a bachelor's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and has established himself as a versatile crime reporter in broadcast media. Leiberman earned a regional Emmy Award for wildfire coverage in New Mexico and received a nomination for his reporting on the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His early career included roles in several local television markets before becoming Washington bureau chief for Sinclair Broadcast Group, where he reported from Iraq, Cuba, and the floor of the presidential political conventions for 62 stations nationwide.
Leiberman's commitment to journalistic integrity became widely recognized after he was dismissed by Sinclair Broadcast Group for publicly questioning the company's decision to air the film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," which was critical of presidential candidate John Kerry's role in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War. His actions during this period earned him the Payne Special Citation for Ethics in Journalism. He continued his focus on crime and justice as a correspondent for "America's Most Wanted," filing reports on fugitives both domestically and internationally.
Leiberman expanded his reach by joining Sirius XM Radio as an investigative reporter for "The Howard Stern Show" and Howard 100 News. He hosted "Leiberman Live," a daily news program on Sirius XM, and "Embedded with Jon Leiberman" on Howard TV. He also contributed to CNN HLN and "Snapped" on Oxygen. His digital media work includes hosting "The CrimeLine With Jon Leiberman" and producing the web series "Searching For Justice" for AOL. Leiberman appeared on the Netflix drama "House of Cards," further demonstrating his presence in both news and entertainment media.
As an author, Leiberman co-wrote "Whitey on Trial: Secrets, Corruption, and the Search for Truth" with Margaret McLean, a detailed examination of the Whitey Bulger case published by Forge Books. The book draws on his extensive experience in criminal justice reporting and law enforcement coverage. In addition to his media work, Leiberman has served as a professor in residence at the University of Iowa School of Journalism, lectured at the University of Maryland and McDaniel College, and sits on the board of the National Domestic Violence Registry. His career reflects a combination of investigative reporting, crime victim advocacy, and a commitment to ethical storytelling across multiple media platforms.
