JOHN JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT, EYEWITNESS NEWS

Emmy-award winning EYEWITNESS NEWS correspondent and co-anchor of the early Saturday evening newscast, John Johnson doesn't just report the news, he helps make it. He has tackled vital community issues ranging from crime in the New York subways to security breaches in a Long Island nuclear power plant and his hard-hitting exclusives often directly produced social and political results.

One of New York's foremost investigative and social action reporters, Johnson's coverage of New Jersey's controversial "Age of Consent" criminal code in April 1979, incited an outcry among hundreds of parents who flocked to Trenton with 40,000 signatures and successfully demanded that the age at which a teenager can voluntarily consent to sexual activity, by law, be raised from 13 to 16 years.

Johnson's on-the-spot account of the frustrations and dangers encountered by New York City policemen brought to light the inner story of police life and pressures. The WABC-TV News documentary, "75th Precinct: Two Badges of Courage," written, produced and reported by Johnson in 1979 won a first place award as "best local documentary program" from the New York State Associated Press Broadcasters Association. That same organization honored Johnson two years earlier with a "best enterprise" award as the first newsman to link FALN terrorist activities directly to Cuba, in his March, 1977, EYEWITNESS NEWS special report.

Time and again, Johnson has proven that he is a reporter who is not afraid to get involved. His multi-award winning WABC-TV News expose in 1976 of alleged drug, alcohol, sexual and physical abuses at St. Michael's Home for Children on Staten Island let to major changes at the agency and the subsequent closing of the Home. The New York Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded Johnson and WABC-TV a
