Best radio interpretation of foreign affairs
Award Year: 1994
Award Name: The Lowell Thomas Award 1994
Recipient: Mark Lavie
Affiliation: Mutual Broadcasting “America in the Morning”
Honored Work: “Middle East Peace: A Matter of Faith”
The Mutual broadcast team seamlessly integrated stories of individual Palestinians with the broader politics of establishing a Palestinian entity in previously occupied territories. That provided listeners with a good sense of emotions on the ground and of the practical problems of taking over a region that has known decades of poverty and alienation.
