anchor/reporter and Detroit
Jewish News columnist
Robin Schwartz won her fourth regional
Emmy award June 5 at the National
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
Michigan chapter's 32nd annual Emmy
awards gala.
She also served as a presenter for
the event held at the Royal Oak Music
Theater.
Schwartz received a "Serious News
Feature" honor for her story "D-DOT:
End of the Line, a look at the human
impact of Detroit's decision to cut sev-
eral D-DOT bus lines to save money" She
rode one of the doomed bus lines from
beginning to end along with photogra-
pher Matthew Phillips to meet people
who relied on the busses to get to work,
school and doctor appointments.
"I reported on Detroit's initial
announcement that the bus lines would
be cut," Schwartz explained. "But I was
frustrated that under the deadline pres-
sure of a daily news report, we didn't
have time to take a closer look at what
this meant for people most affected:
She got the go-ahead to do an in-
depth report.
"I purchased two bus passes, found
the Grand Belt bus line that was on the
list to be cut and we got on board 7 a.m.
on a weekday' she said. "We met some
really interesting people. Some were
high school students who would now be
forced to change busses multiple times
to get to class. Seeing their faces and
hearing their stories illustrated how cuts
like these impact people's lives."
Schwartz has been with Fox 2 since
1998. She's won previous Emmys for an
investigation into a City Council candi-
date's rundown properties in Detroit, a
revealing report about the security of
Detroit's water system and a human-
interest feature about her own struggle
with infertility.
Schwartz and her husband, Jon
Goldstein, live in Oakland County with
their daughter, Olivia, 2. ❑
