Geraldo Rivera is well known for his compassionate investigative reports on WABC-TV Eyewitness News. He has done exposes (揭露性报道) of New York City’s welfare hotels, the over-pricing of prescription drugs, and drug abuse. In 1971, he received the Associated Press Broadcaster of the Year Award for the program Drug Crisis in East Harlem. He received the award again in 1972 for program Migrants, Dirt Cheap.
His most famous expose however was done on the horrible conditions at Staten Island’s Willowbrook State School. It is the world’s largest institution for the mentally disabled. His investigation began when be and his camera crew gained access to one of the buildings. Geraldo’s emotionally charged reports exposed the unsanitary (不卫生的) conditions and neglectful, often abusive, treatment of the patients. He cried over what he discovered, and he made his viewers cry, too. The program created a public plea for reform, and changes were made. Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York restored $20 million to the school’s slashed budget. The program Willowbrook earned him the Scripps-Howard Award, an Emmy (埃米金像奖), and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.
Geraldo Rivera has continued working for the mentally disabled. He founded One-to-One, a charity (慈善机构) that provides small group homes for the care of mentally disabled in the community. He hosts huge outdoor festivals for mentally disabled in New York City’s Central Park. He also wrote a book about some of the courageous people he has met as an investigative journalist. It is called A Special Kind of Courage. As he himself says, "I make no pretense (矫饰) of objectivity. But I’m not just in the business of making people cry. I’m in the business of change."
