CBS Evening News
Hartman's "Assignment America" reports were part of the "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric"; they were inspired by Charles Kuralt's "On the Road" series, which originally aired on CBS from 1967 to 1980. In 2011, CBS revived "On the Road", with Hartman providing the Friday evening end-pieces for the "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley". The series won two 2013 Edward R. Murrow Awards (presented by the Radio Television Digital News Association) for the CBS Evening News. Three of Hartman's stories won in the Best Writing category.
