RECIPIENT: David Fanning, Sharon Tiller, Stephen Talbot, Ken Dornstein
AFFILIATION: WGBH and KQED – Frontline/World
HONORED WORK: “Stories from a Small Planet”
The judges found Frontline’s commitment to coverage of overlooked international stories from all corners of the globe admirable. Frontline World includes an account of a journalist’s brutal beating death in Iran; a shocking portrayal of kidnapped brides in Kyrgyzstan and the cynical exploitation of sex workers in India. Frontline World’s powerful storytelling, enterprising reporting and disciplined editing combined to create a powerful example of foreign reporting at its best.
