Linda Cavanaugh and Tony Stizza, Journalists
July 16, 1:30p.m.
Linda Cavanaugh and Tony Stizza were filming a documentary in Vietnam on April 19, 1995. Back in Oklahoma City within two days, they began a journey with the story and the people impacted by it that continues today. Tapestry, the documentary they produced to mark the first anniversary of the bombing, was honored with five national awards, including the Freedom Foundation’s George Washington Medal of Honor.
Cavanaugh, news anchor at Oklahoma’s NewsChannel 4, has earned more than 30 national awards for her reporting as well as twice that many state and regional awards, 15 regional Emmys, and was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame.
Stizza joined the Memorial staff as Director of Video after a 30 year career in broadcasting, 26 of which were spent at Oklahoma’s NewsChannel 4. He has won almost every major broadcast news award, including 16 regional Emmys, and was inducted into the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame as one of only two photojournalists so honored.
