NBC News In 2009, Tur joined NBC's local station in New York City, WNBC-TV, and then rose to the flagship NBC News at the national network level. While at NBC News, she covered the death of Cory Monteith, a motorcycle attack on an SUV, and the MH-370 search. Tur was the network's embedded reporter for the Donald Trump presidential campaign. She was responsible for informing the Trump campaign about the Access Hollywood tape that NBC possessed. Several times during his campaign rallies, Trump singled out Tur in his criticism of the press. At an event in Florida, Tur was booed by Trump supporters and, according to other journalists, was subjected to verbal harassment. According to Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, "[Trump] didn't mean it in any malicious way," and he did not want anyone to attack or harass her. Author Tur reflected on covering the Trump campaign and his treatment of her at campaign rallies in an article for Marie Claire. In September 2017, Tur published Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History, recounting her experience in covering the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

As a broadcast reporter, and eventual 10,000-hour commercial pilot, Tur created the Los Angeles News Service with fellow reporter and former wife Marika Gerrard. The Los Angeles News Service was the first to use an AStar helicopter in a major city for the coverage of live breaking news, and the first to televise a high-speed police chase. Other noteworthy reporting included the attack on Reginald Denny during the 1992 Los Angeles riots and finding the crashsite of Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771. Tur was also the first to locate and televise O. J. Simpson's slow-speed chase in 1994. As a team, Tur and Gerrard received three Television News Emmy Awards; two Edward R. Murrow Awards for broadcast excellence (for her reporting on the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and a feature on Jewish Americans leaving their homes for Israel at a time of war); an Associated Press National Breaking News award; and The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) Humanitarian Award. Early Life And Education Tur dropped out of community college at age 18 in 1978. In 1988, Tur was credited by the Los Angeles Times with saving the lives of 54 people during a freak southern California storm in January 1988. In 1991, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revoked Tur's pilot's license for "reckless flying" after a complaint from the Los Angeles City Fire Department. In 1995, a California Superior Court ruled against the Los Angeles Fire Department for suborning perjury in the original FAA action, awarding $550,000 and ruling that "public employees are not immune from liability for malicious prosecution if they instigate the prosecution through fraudulent, corrupt or malicious misrepresentations."
