Bill Stewart (journalist)

William D. Stewart (1941 – June 20, 1979) was an American journalist with ABC News who was murdered in 1979 by forces of the Nicaraguan National Guard (Guardia) while reporting on the Nicaraguan Revolution as Sandinista rebel forces were closing in on the capital city of Managua. Footage of his execution was repeatedly broadcast on network television, resulting in an uproar in the United States against the Somoza regime.
