Mattie Selected as “Champion for Change” by Chris Cuomo for CNN Special

CNN invited 12 correspondents to share a story on their “Champion for Change” – someone they have interviewed or reported on across their years of working in journalism.

Chris Cuomo (who won an Emmy for one of his Mattie features back in 2001, and who is a member of the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Guild) selected Mattie J.T. Stepanek as his Champion.

Thank you, Chris, for choosing to #MakePeaceTheNews!
