Hartman is known for his award-winning feature series “Everybody Has a Story” in which he tosses a dart at a map of America and then randomly picks an interview subject from the local phone book.

Debuting in 1998, Hartman produced more than 100 such pieces.

He has won many accolades for his work: an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, an Emmy Award for writing and four Edward R. Murrow Awards, including three-consecutive citations for best writing.

Previously, Hartman was a columnist for “60 Minutes” and was a correspondent for two prime-time CBS News magazines, “Public Eye With Bryant Gumbel” (1997-98) and “Coast to Coast” (1996-97).

He began his career in broadcast journalism at WTOL-TV in Toledo as a reporter (1984-87).

He has collected close to two dozen local Emmy Awards for writing, reporting and editing.

A 1985 graduate of Bowling Green State University, he now lives in New York.
