Robert Joseph Reguly (19 January 1931, in Fort William, Ontario[1] – 24 February 2011)[2] was a three-time National Newspaper Award-winning investigative journalist.
Reguly won his first National Newspaper Award in 1964 for tracking down union leader Hal Banks, a fugitive who had fled to Brooklyn, New York.
He won his second Award in 1966 for tracking down and interviewing Gerda Munsinger, an East German woman at the center of a Canadian political sex scandal.
He filed dozens of stories for the Star reporting on American combat efforts, starting with Operation Hickory, the first U.S. invasion of the DMZ (the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Vietnam).
Reguly also witnessed and reported on the forced relocation of Montagnard tribespeople in the Central Highlands, telling his readers that such operations might be "creating more Viet Cong".
