Award-winning TV Host, Journalist, and Author Roland Martin has been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards; Outstanding News/Information Series for his two-hour weekday morning news program News One Now, and in the Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information Series category.

Known for his powerful and unique voice in the media, Roland unapologetically expresses his views on everything from politics to entertainment on News One Now. His attitude, professionalism and direct, no-nonsense way of delivering the news, resonates with audiences and distinguishes him as one of the best in the industry.

Last year, he received the Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information Series Award, which was the first time the category was introduced into the Awards show.

The 49th NAACP IMAGE AWARDS will air live on Martin LUTHER King Jr. Day, January 15, 2018 on TV One.
