Mo Rocca To Receive 2026 LABF Insight Award At NAB Show.

Mo Rocca, an award-winning correspondent for “CBS Sunday Morning,” has been named the recipient of the 2026 LABF Insight Award, the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation (LABF) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced today (Feb. 12).

Now in its fifth year, the Insight Award recognizes an individual or organization for an outstanding artistic or journalistic work or body of work that enhances the public’s understanding of the role, impact and evolution of media.

Rocca has served as a correspondent for “CBS Sunday Morning” since 2011, reporting on topics ranging from gerrymandering to the Vatican, where he interviewed Pope Francis. His work has also included profiles of Hollywood figures and historical portraits of American presidents, often focusing on overlooked subjects.

Rocca also created and hosts the podcast “Mobituaries” and co-authored the New York Times bestselling books “Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth Reliving” and “Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs.” He is a frequent panelist on National Public Radio’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” and has hosted programs exploring innovation, food and culture.

Earlier in his career, Rocca was a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” He began his TV career as a writer and producer for children’s programming.

Bestowed by LABF and presented at NAB Show, the LABF Insight Award honors storytelling that reflects craft, curiosity and lasting cultural significance. Past winners include radio legend Delilah and Soledad O’Brien.

Rocca will be formally honored April 21 at the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas during the Annual “We Are Broadcasters” event on the Main Stage. For registration information for 2026 NAB Show attendees and exhibitors, click HERE.
