Double Award Winner!





For the second year in a row, Ruth Stein Davis has won a prestigious Writer's Guild of America Award. This time, she won the 1999 WGA Award for Outstanding Script for writing World News This Week.





The Award is inscribed:

The announcement took place March 5th at the Plaza Hotel in New York. And she was part of a clean sweep - as ABC News won in every Radio category.







Last year, she won the 1998 Writers Guild of America Award for Outstanding Radio Documentary Script

Ruth S. Davis - for "The Nature of Giving" - on the ABC Radio Network



"The Nature of Giving" is the story of a personal piece of charity involving two American women, a small Romanian village, and how the act of giving changes everyone involved.









The 1998 award was presented at a black-tie ceremony at Windows on the World. Local newscaster and award presenter Therese Crowley of WCBS NewsRadio looks on. Click here for a bigger picture.
