AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: National Public Radio (NPR)
AWARD HONORED WORK: “Haiti: From Terror to Triumph”
The NPR pieces were outstanding examples of enterprise reporting, finding people-especially victims of the Haitian police, army, and paramilitary forces-whose stories told in microcosm the larger political saga of a country under siege by its own authorities. They provided listeners with a rich and textured picture of Haiti.
