Bill Lichtenstein's award-winning documentary work in television, film and radio spans more than 35 years, and has been honored with more than 60 major journalism awards.  

Bill founded Lichtenstein Creative Media in 1990 to create high-quality productions dealing with human rights and social justice issues. They include public radio's "The Infinite Mind"; "Voices of an Illness" and "If I Get Out Alive" radio programs; and the award-winning documentary film, "West 47th Street."

Bill's work has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship; George Foster Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting, TV and radio's highest honor; United Nations Media Award; nine National Headliner Awards; four Gracie Awards from American Women in Radio and Television; and five Unity Awards in Media from Lincoln University of Missouri for coverage of minority issues.

Prior to starting Lichtenstein Creative Media, Bill worked for seven years for ABC News 20/20, World News Tonight and Nightline, where he produced investigative reports that focused on compelling human stories involving overarching societal issues. Among them were reports on abused and dying children in Oklahoma state juvenile institutions; battered women convicted of murdering their abusers; victims of faulty automobile design; and an Ohio town that fought back after being taken over by organized crime. Bill was a member of the faculty of the New School for Social Research from 1979 through 2006 where he taught investigative reporting for TV and documentary film production. 

A graduate of Brown University and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, Bill began his work in media at the age of 13, working at progressive rock radio station WBCN-FM in Boston as a newscaster and announcer.  Later, he worked as a writer for both ABC and CBS Sports.

His feature articles appeared in The Sunday New York Daily News business section. Bill's 1992 investigative report for the Village Voice, "The Secret Battle for the NEA," received a National Headliner Award, and Bill's news photography appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News and in the Baltimore Sun.
