An award-winning producer, Goldberg's features, profiles, documentaries and investigative works have earned him journalism's highest honors including five Emmy Awards (thirteen nominations), multiple Peabody Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award, Columbia DuPont Award, Scripps Howard Award, GLAAD Award, National Headliner Award, Gracie Award, the Cine Golden Eagle, and Christopher Award. For 18 years, he was Barbara Walters' principle producer at ABC News. And for the last 5 years, he has been a 60 Minutes producer at CBS News and 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime. He began his career as a broadcast researcher at CBS News contributing to 60 Minutes, CBS Reports and the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. In 1985, he was one of the original producers on the groundbreaking newsmagazine West 57th reporting stories alongside such correspondents as Steve Kroft and Meredith Vieira. Also at CBS, he produced documentaries for 48 Hours from 1989 until 1991 when he joined NBC News to help launch Dateline NBC, the networks' first successful newsmagazine. In 1994, Goldberg moved to ABC News' 20/20. That year he won the prestigious Peabody Award for "The Hunger Inside," a haunting documentary on anorexia. Soon after he began a long collaboration with Barbara Walters, producing and directing many of her most iconic interviews from Barack Obama's first sit-down after his historic election in 2008 to Martha Stewart on the eve of her insider trading trial. In early 2002, Walters and Goldberg were among the first journalists to report from inside Saudi Arabia after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The list of notable newsmaker/celebrity interviews Goldberg has produced includes Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia), Queen Noor, Rudy Giuliani, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Clint Eastwood, David Letterman, Robin Williams, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, the Osbournes, Mia Farrow, Howard Stern, Dudley Moore, Robert Blake and Carla Bruni. In 2007, Goldberg produced Walters' groundbreaking, Emmy nominated documentary "My Secret Self: A Story of Transgender Children." In 2012, Goldberg returned to CBS News as a producer for 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime. His assignments have included the 33 minute Emmy nominated "The Making of Super Bowl XLVII" (with exclusive behind the scenes footage when the lights went out in the Superdome); "Harry" a profile documenting the last days of legendary Harvard rowing coach Harry Parker; "The Settlement" the most comprehensive report to date on the controversial NFL concussion settlement; the Emmy nominated "Hidden Holocaust," the story of a French Catholic priest's mission to find and retrieve the memory of 2.3 million Jews murdered in mass shootings and buried in thousands of unmarked graves in the former Soviet Union; and "The Baylor Scandal" an Emmy nominated investigation into the sexual assault fallout at Baylor University.
