Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient William M. Henry
WILLIAM M. HENRY
Awarded by
President Richard M. Nixon
April 22, 1970
He proudly claimed but one title: Reporter. The many thousands who read his column, and listened to his broadcasts knew that he was one of the best of reporters, and more. A newspaperman since 1911, and a pioneer of broadcast journalism nearly half a century ago, he covered sports, politics, and all the rich variety of human activity that is the news. His column "By the Way" became an institution among Californians. He brought to his work a unique talent, a warm love of humanity, an unfailing fairness, and a devoted professional's respect for his craft.
