Before hosting The World Vision Report, Peggy was the religion correspondent for ABC News. For seven years she covered religion for World News Tonight, 20/20, Good Morning America, and primetime specials. Peggy interviewed Presidents Bush and Clinton and covered a broad spectrum of religion stories, from the growth of Islam in America, to prayer in school, to controversies surrounding gay marriage. Peggy Wehmeyer originally came to ABC News from the network's Dallas affiliate, WFAA-TV, where she pioneered the nation's first religion beat for a local television station.

Peggy Wehmeyer's reporting has won the respect of American religious leaders and fellow journalists. The former Peter Jennings of ABC World News Tonight told audiences that her work "elicits a greater response from both audience and colleagues than anything else we've done in recent years."
