- Keep. The cited source describes Goodwin's very lengthy career in some detail. Among other things it notes that this reporter won the 1948 Pulitzer Prize (See [1].) and served other important functions in the development of modern Atlanta. He was also noted for his coverage of a famous murder case[2] that ended up with him being featured on an episode of an early TV series called The Big Story[3][4] --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:34, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
