Best magazine reporting from abroad
AWARD YEAR: 1999
AWARD NAME: The Ed Cunningham Award 1999
RECIPIENT: Rod Nordland
AFFILIATION: Newsweek
HONORED WORK: “Daddy, They’re Killing Us”
The war in Kosovo produced an avalanche of fine magazine reporting from the battlefield. But Rod Nordland’s dramatic account of the massacre of Albanian families at Suva Reka in southern Kosovo stood out Eu the others. Nordland’s initiative in locating surviving relatives and piecing together the horror of systemic brutality against their lost ones helped distinguish his work, and serve as an indisputable indictment of Serbian authorities.
