HONORED WORK: “Pakistan Earthquake”
In the days immediately after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that leveled villages, killed more than 79,000 people and left some 2 million homeless, Richard Roth and the CBS Evening News team brought viewers a wrenching story about victims of the tragedy. The reporting was compelling, the story-telling dramatic, simple and comprehensive. It was aggressive, shoe-leather reporting at its best.
