AWARD NAME: The Lowell Thomas Award 1990
AWARD RECIPIENT: Alex Chadwick
AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: National Public Radio
AWARD HONORED WORK: “Natasia Dudinska: Hope and Courage in Czechoslovakia”
Remembering the old rule that a good story is worth retelling, Chadwick in January 1990 revisited areas he had covered during his daily reporting of Czechoslovakia’s “Velvet Revolution” of November 1989. Touring the strike-torn streets of Prague, Chadwick conveyed the spontaneous excitement of the astonishing events that led to the replacement of the communist regime by a more democratically-inclined government.
