IRC emergency communications director Melissa Winkler e-mailed me some good news this morning:

“Just learned that Scott [Pelley] and his 60 Minutes crew won an Emmy this week for Searching for Jacob, the story about his search for a boy whose school books were salvaged from a destroyed North Darfur village and who ended up finding refuge in our very own Oure Cassoni Camp in northeastern Chad.”
