March 29, 2011 - CBS 5 Reporter/Anchor Thuy Vu, Vince Garrido and Greg Marasso have won a First Place National Headliner Award for their documentary and series of stories, “Vietnam Revisited,” which explored the on-going health impact of Agent Orange, the toxin used by the US military to defoliate the jungles of Vietnam.
But there’s more.
The stories also won “Best of Show,” an award given to the best TV entry in all categories of the contest!
Founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City, The National Headliner Awards program is one of the oldest and largest annual contests recognizing excellence in journalism.
“Vietnam Revisited” covered a number of aspects of current life in Vietnam, with a special focus on the long-term impact of the defoliant, Agent Orange. Thuy and Vince were asked to go to Vietnam by San Francisco State University’s Journalism Department – a trip underwritten by the Ford Foundation to raise awareness of Agent Orange’s legacy. {continued}
