Best magazine reporting from abroad
AWARD YEAR: 2004
AWARD NAME: The Ed Cunningham Award 2004 (shared)
RECIPIENT: Patrick Graham
AFFILIATION: Harper’s Magazine
HONORED WORK: “Beyond Fallujah: A Year with the Iraqi Resistance”
The judges thought that both these journalists brought courage and insight to their coverage of Iraq’s insurgency. Graham’s compelling, village-level narrative illuminated the anger and passions of a small band of insurgents, and juxtaposed those views against the anxieties of American forces. Ware produced vivid, newsbreaking war correspondence that captured the challenges and forces arrayed against the U.S.
Two Ed Cunningham Awards were given for 2004. The other went to Michael Ware of TIME.
