From the iconic exchanges between Katie Couric and Sarah Palin – to the dramatic story of one of the army’s most successful recruiters – to a local news team uncovering an underworld of prescription drugs, the 2010 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards once again honor the best in broadcast journalism. Host Maria Hinojosa goes behind-the-scenes with award-winning reporters and producers to examine how their stories came to be and why they continue to be impactful.
The 2010 awards also bring a number of highlights: for the first time, Katie Couric goes on the record about her memorable interviews with Sarah Palin. In addition, six local television stations were awarded the silver baton – the highest number of local reports to win in more than two decades. And 2010 is the first year in which the duPont Awards recognized a web-based production – in the form of Jonathan Togovnick’s multimedia effort that tells the harrowing stories of rape survivors from the Rwandan genocide.
Watch TELLING THE TRUTH – THE BEST IN BROADCAST JOURNALISM – an insightful look into the work of reporters and producers as they uncover injustice and chase down important stories.

You have yet to regain our families trust. I recently attempted to watch a PBS show about the “new state of journalism “. The show featured the looney tune Chris Matthews and two other liberals. In plain language, what a crook.
You lost us with the Pro-Obama, Anti-Hillary,Anti- McCain, Anti-Palin bias over the past two years.
Rose and Moyers were so silly and over the top with projecting super powers on candidate Obama that we just stopped watching. Never again will we donate. You have all lost your souls. The Mckasty Family
