Business Week, September 8, 1980, p. 9

Lee Walczak was the White House Correspondent and then Washington Bureau Chief (1986-2006) for Business Week, for which he also wrote the magazine's weekly Washington Outlook. From 2006-March 2008, when he succumbed to cancer, he was White House enterprise editor at Bloomberg News.

The Lee Walczak Award for Political Analysis was established by the National Press Club in his honor, with this tribute: Walczak "was known for being a brilliant political analyst and gifted writer who directed thoughtful, ahead-of-the-curve political coverage." Bloomberg News Washington Executive Editor Al Hunt spoke of Lee's inspiring "grace and presence," and added, "he made us better professionally; he was an even better person."
