William D. Stewart (1941 – June 20, 1979) was an American journalist with ABC News who was murdered by Nicaraguan government National Guard ("Guardia") forces while reporting on the Nicaraguan Revolution as Sandinista rebel forces were closing in on the capital city of Managua in 1979.[2] Footage of his execution was repeatedly broadcast on network television, resulting in an uproar in the United States against the Somoza regime.
