Press Release
UPDATED 6/9/2003 1:00pm
NOTE Latest reported broadcast date of the FoxNews interview with Editor-in-Chief Roma Hadzewycz is
Tuesday, June 10th.
The Executive Committee of the Ukrainian National Association (UNA) commends editor-in-chief Roma
Hadzewycz and staff of The Ukrainian Weekly on their success in increasing
public awareness of The Great Ukrainian Famine and, most recently, on their
relentless efforts with regard to the campaign to revoke Walter Duranty’s
1932 Pulitzer Prize due to his shameful and false coverage of the famine.
We congratulate our reporter Andrew Nynka, whose article in the May 25 issue
of the Weekly, “Pulitzer Prize board begins review of Duranty's award”,
has served as a catalyst, which has catapulted the issue to international
attention. The article was picked up by Reuters and United Press
International, and has subsequently generated interest from other major news and
media sources.
FoxNews interviewed Roma Hadzewycz on the UNA premises and
excerpts are expected to be aired on the FOX TV news program on
Monday, June 9, 2003 at 7pm and possibly
by Fox's Brit Hume at 6pm.
This event illustrates the irreplaceable and important role that our publications
play in bringing the issues that concern Ukrainians worldwide to the
national forefront.
We are proud of their accomplishment.
The Executive Committee
