Noted Pittsburgh personality, Lynn Cullen, will be our emcee for the evening. Ms. Cullen’s reporting on WTAE-TV from 1981 to 1992 garnered her an Emmy in 1991, four Golden Quills for Journalistic Excellence from the Pittsburgh Press Club and three Pennsylvania Associated Press Broadcaster Awards for feature reporting. She received the Printer’s Devil Award from Women in Communication for her ability to see humor in the world and to “puncture the pompous among us” and was honored by the YWCA for her rigorous work against racism and bigotry. Ms. Cullen hosts an Internet radio show on the Pittsburgh City Paper’s website.
