LOS ANGELES : USC Honors Newsday Writer for Bosnia Reports
A foreign correspondent for Newsday, a Times Mirror Co. newspaper based in Long Island, N.Y., was named Thursday by the USC School of Journalism as winner of the 1993 Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting.
Roy Gutman, whose dispatches from Bosnia were the first to convincingly document the widespread human rights abuses perpetrated under the Serbian policy of “ethnic cleansing,” was cited for producing “a story that affected the morality of the entire world.”
The prestigious award, which carries a $25,000 prize, is administered by the USC Journalism School.
