George Saunders (and The Story Prize) on CBS Sunday Morning

If you watch this profile George Saunders that ran earlier today on CBS Sunday Morning, at the 3:05 mark, you'll see Story Prize Founder Julie Lindsey announcing Saunders as the winner of The Story Prize. A producer asked for permission to film at last year's event. We, of course, said yes, and we've been waiting for our 15 seconds ever since then.
