Profile:
Only two dozen interviewers in the world have ever twice received the "Pulitzer" of national broadcast journalism, The George Foster Peabody Award. WNPR interviewer Faith Middleton is one of them.
As a Peabody recipient, she joins the ranks of Ted Koppel, Walter Cronkite, Charles Kuralt, Diane Sawyer, Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer, Scott Simon and Susan Stamberg.

She finds original ways to show that the qualities of our humanity are often as compelling and popular as what is wrong. Faith has interviewed more than 7,000 people. Her trademark is the unusual and compelling questions she asks her guests, including Arthur Miller, Mary Martin, Anna Deveare Smith, Walter Cronkite, Annie Dillard, Colleen Dewhurst, James Earl Jones and Katharine Hepburn. But her interviews with the unknown have provoked the most attention.
