Set forth below is a link to an announcement by the Columbia University Journalism School. As the most biased of observers, I would suggest that this year’s recipient of the Columbia J School’s Berger Award provides the best of journalism: straightforward, comprehensive reporting of the terrible difficulties in which too many of our people find themselves as we move ever faster, think (and at times seem to feel) less deeply, resort too much to slogans and labels, and focus too much on our differences rather than upon what our nation needs and can be — for those that already live here, and for those that seek refuge in the values that have set us apart from the rest of the world.

I believe that one sentence from the Award Jurors’ Citation best captures our son’s work: “McCoy gives them a voice and, for us, a window into their torment.” His mother and I are more proud than we can ever put into words.
And proud you should be. The young man has received the best guidance. Congratulations to the whole family!

Jim, Terry is doing remarkable work. I read the Calderwood/Tibbets story months ago and found it riveting. I’m interested now to read his other stories cited in the award announcement. You and Chris have much to be proud of.

Just listened to the On Point interview of Terry and Calderwood. So nice he’s received the attention he deserves. It’s a tough profession. I really admire, appreciate and enjoy his work.
