"Coverage of Congressman William Lipinski" Campaign, by WBBM-TV, Chicago & Carol Marin | 1999 duPont-Columbia Award Winner

Chicago Reporter Carol Marin is intrepid in her reporting on illegal petitions that favored Democratic Congressman William Lipinski in his last primary campaign. She has the details firmly in hand in confronting Lipinski and his volunteer precinct workers. They had circulated petitions on behalf of both the Democratic and Republican candidates and nominated a bogus Republican candidate just to weaken Lipinski’s Republican opponent. This three-part series is local reporting at its best.
