Chris Hansen, DATELINE NBC reporter: Mr. Media Audio Interview

NBC News’ Chris Hansen catches a… Mr. Media? (Throw him back, Chris!)

STARTS @ 10:40 a.m.!Chris Hansen is a correspondent for NBC News' "Dateline NBC." He joined NBC in May 1993, as a correspondent for "Now with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric."

In September 2004, Hansen began his breakthrough investigative reporting on online sexual predators. Eleven dramatic hidden camera investigations have exposed over 250 men who target young teenagers over the Internet.

In April 2007, he reported in "To Catch an ID Thief," an unprecedented investigation into the massive billion-dollar epidemic of identity theft. Using "Dateline's" signature hidden camera techniques, the report followed the trails of an international identity theft ring, capturing for the first time on network television how the crime works and some of the people that may be behind the process.

Hansen was responsible for much of "Dateline's" coverage of the September 11 terrorist attacks, with breaking investigative stories that focused on the terrorists and operations of the Al -Qaeda network. Hansen exposed how a group with links to Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda tried to buy stinger missiles and other deadly weapons, including components for nuclear devices from American citizens. He also worked on the exclusive report detailing how terrorists attempted a similar attack in France in 1994.

Now, in a three-part investigative series, Hansen takes a comprehensive look "Inside the Financial Fiasco." The in-depth trilogy of reports, each an hour long, will air on Sun., March 22 (7:00 PM/ET); Fri., March 27 (10:00 PM/ET) and Sun., March 29 (7:00 PM/ET).
