In 1984, House was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in international reporting for her coverage of the Middle East while a reporter with the Wall Street Journal.

The prize was awarded for a series of interviews with Jordan's King Hussein, which anticipated the problems Ronald Reagan's Middle East peace plan would face.

She is also the recipient of the Overseas Press Club's Bob Considine Award for best daily newspaper interpretation of foreign affairs (1984 and 1988 ); the University of Southern California's Distinguished Achievement in Journalism Award (1983); Georgetown University's Edward Weintal Award for distinguished coverage of American foreign policy (1980); and the National Press Club's Edwin M. Hood Award for Excellence in Diplomatic Reporting (1982).

Karen Elliott House mentioned in her book "On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines—and Future" that she believes that Saudi Arabia's internal problems are deeper than its external problems.

Finding a job for the new generation of unemployed youth has become a big problem in the absence of high oil revenues, writes House, and the best thing that the Saudi regime can do in this situation, is to magnify the chaos in the region in the eyes of its people to such an extent that Saudis consider Al-Saud's relative stability better than anything else.

2012

At his memorial service on November 29, 2012, she recalled how he was fired as the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Texas in 1970 while she was writing about him as a beginning reporter.
