Carol Marin December 15th, 2009 Studs Terkel’s community-driven stories and natural ability to give a voice to us all, no matter what side of the tracks we lived on, made him one of Chicago’s most iconic journalists.

A man of many hats, Studs’ diverse life included careers for the FBI, on the theatre stage and in TV, radio and of course, Pulitzer prize-winning author.His style and rich legacy inspired Community Media Workshop to offer an annual award.
