      Best newspaper, news service or digital reporting from abroad

      Even in a year that featured some of this generation’s most compelling and essential war correspondence from the frontlines in Ukraine, the judges felt The Associated Press’s coverage of the siege of Mariupol stood apart both for its bravery and its impact. The AP team bore witness to atrocities that would have otherwise gone untold, acts that shocked the international community and put paid to Russian propaganda aimed at convincing global opinion of the Kremlin’s good intentions. In the view of the judges, the AP’s coverage was courageous, harrowing and indispensable, and serves as a model of what war reporting should aim to achieve.

      The jury was impressed by the combination of on-the-ground reporting and analysis. With three decades of experience in the Middle East, Pelham produced a story on Mohammed bin Salman’s Saudi Arabia that is both authoritative and highly personal. It offers an excellent briefing on the politics of the Saudi kingdom, while fully capturing the contradictions in a leader who on the one hand presents himself as a royal modernizer, giving women the right to drive, while at the same time presiding over brutal human rights abuses, including the murder
      of Jamal Khashoggi.

      Justyna Mielnikiewicz’s coverage of the war in Ukraine shows us strength, resilience, the devastation of loss, humor, and, above all, humanity. In a conflict that has been covered by dozens if not hundreds of photographers, Mielnikiewicz’s visual and storytelling style is uniquely her own. She expertly manages the most difficult challenge of news photography: her work is both an intimate view of the lives of Ukrainians and a showcase of the larger geopolitical implications of the war.

      This piece about the failure of U.S. Department of Justice officials to pursue accused international human rights violators inside the U.S. tells a riveting and surprising story in a highly accessible way. The scope is at once both human and global; it has compelling characters and a personal connection for the reporter, Ike Sriskandarajah. Among the highlights are interviews with federal officials who were asked whether the government had ever charged anyone with a war crime. Their stumbling response is a great example of journalists holding public officials to account.

      Best TV, video or documentary interpretation of international affairs with a run time up to 30 minutes

      Al Jazeera ventures into the perilous anarchy in Haiti to report a sorely under-covered story, one with high political stakes for the U.S. In one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists, the correspondent captures the daily terror and trials of her characters, showing how they are caught in a Kafkaesque immigration trap, which she contrasts with the outpouring of support for Ukraine’s refugees. Scenes of Haiti’s calamitous upheaval leave the anodyne explanations from the State Department official interviewed sounding bafflingly disconnected from the reality on the ground.

      The judges found “Navalny,” which chronicles the efforts of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to investigate his own poisoning, compelling from beginning to end. The film captures an agent of Vladimir Putin revealing how Russian security apparatchiks attempted to murder Navalny by Novichuk poisoning. Along with director Daniel Roher, the judges wish to honor Christo Grozev, an investigative journalist with Bellingcat, and Maria Pevchikh, who heads Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation. In real time, the cameras filmed them as they pored over passport databases, flight records and cell phone bills to uncover the assassination plot. The footage is riveting and illuminating.

      Adam Zyglis sums up Putin’s war on Ukraine in one terrifying image. The cartoon is an homage to Francisco Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son” and perfectly captures the horrors of Putin’s war crimes. Though that one cartoon won over the judges, Zyglis didn’t stop there, targeting China, Iran and the European Union with his biting satire. He submitted a portfolio of consistently high quality cartoons tackling a myriad of issues with spark and ingenuity. Employing simple ink lines, impressive caricatures and minimal dialogue, Zyglis brilliantly channels the old masters of art and editorial cartooning to take on the global crises of today.

      Not many American coffee drinkers think about how the purchase of “ethically certified” coffee actually improves the lives of those on the plantations. The ABC team, led by correspondent David Scott, journeyed to the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico to see if conditions at “certified” farms matched the pledges made to consumers by Fairtrade International and the Rainforest Alliance. Three Rainforest farms where ABC documented coffee picking by child labor lost their certifications. At Fairtrade farms, the investigation showed that even the hardest working farmers struggled to get fair prices for their coffee, despite Fairtrade’s efforts to establish a minimum price. This story highlights the gap between selling consumers idealism and real life at the beginning of the coffee supply chain.

      It was a problem that spanned across 168 governments, reaching from Detroit to Finland to Paraguay. “Honorary consuls” have long operated with little oversight or checks around the world, and ICIJ discovered that more than 150 current or former consuls have been accused of tax evasion, fraud, bribery and money laundering, while others were tied to violent crimes and environmental abuses. The judges were impressed with the project’s ambition and scope, connecting court records, news reports, public policy documents and government reports from points around the globe. The project had impact, including moves by Paraguay, Finland and Brazil to investigate the consuls and the systems that had long protected their power.

      Award Honored Work: “Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse: Inside the Collapse of Venezuela”

      Best non-fiction book on international affairs

      William Neuman’s book is a devastating account of the collapse of the economy and political system of a once-wealthy Latin American petro-state. Prior to his 2013 death, strongman Hugo Chavez spent billions to buy and build industries, then starved them of investment. He allowed widespread corruption and soaring inflation. “Chavez’s socialism was all means and no production,” Neuman writes. “It was showcialismo.” Neuman’s vivid reporting never lets the reader forget how the lives of ordinary Venezuelans have been crushed by this manmade disaster and how the misrule of the current Maduro administration has corrupted Venezuela’s society to its very roots.

      With scant clues and ironclad determination, reporter Sarah Souli set off on a yearslong investigation into the execution-style killings of three Afghan refugee women on the Greek-Turkish border. This vividly told saga reveals how, at every step, the resilience and small acts of ordinary people kept the case active despite myriad hardships and geopolitical obstacles that easily could have rendered the women forgotten. Like the characters she encountered, Souli refuses to give up until the mystery is solved and the slain women receive some measure of justice.

      Best international TV, video, radio, audio or podcast reporting showing a concern for the human condition

      When the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the group said its government would respect women’s rights. In “Afghanistan Undercover,” a FRONTLINE documentary filmed over the subsequent year, correspondent Ramita Navai and director Karim Shah documented a very different — and harrowing — story. Often working covertly, they spoke to women jailed by the Taliban without trial, interviewed women in abusive marriages who had attempted suicide and uncovered evidence of Taliban soldiers forcibly marrying young girls. While much of the world’s attention has moved on from the story, “Afghanistan Undercover” documents the very real ongoing crisis for women inside one of the world’s cruelest totalitarian theocracies.

      Award Honored Work: “War Crimes at Bucha”

      Best international reporting in any medium dealing with human rights

      With compelling reporting, The New York Times unraveled a human rights tragedy, giving voice to the victims of the Ukraine war while exposing the ruthlessness of its perpetrators. The package of stories, including a meticulously reported 28-minute documentary, summoned the propulsive narrative style of courtroom drama to detail the murders of civilians. The journalists relied on data bases, cellphone videos, 4,000 intercepted phone calls and on-site investigation to reconstruct how Russian brigades unleashed a premeditated atrocity in Bucha. They found that the 234th Guards Air Assault Regiment killed dozens of innocents as Yablunska Street became a map of misery and death. The series linked victim and killer, with Russian soldiers calling home on the smartphones of Ukrainians they murdered. As a whole, the package makes an airtight war crimes case against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s soldiers.

      Award Honored Work: “Exploiting Carbon Offsets”

      Best reporting in any medium on international environmental issues

      The winning entry by Bloomberg Green took on the complex topic of carbon offsets, the system that allows companies to continue emitting their own greenhouse gases while paying others to reduce their emissions. The reporters analyzed more than 200,000 transactions to show how 0dozens of companies are using questionable accounting to claim “carbon neutral” status. One striking story shows how oil giant BP exploited workers in rural communities in Mexico by paying them very little and then using the savings to offset the company’s emissions. The reporters also revealed how organizers of the World Cup in Qatar attempted to compensate for that event’s enormous carbon footprint through a dodgy Doha-based certification body that would sign off on projects that fail to meet minimum standards anywhere else in the world. This project stood out as an eye-opening examination of an issue that could make or break the effort to slow climate change.

      Best reporting in any medium on Latin America

      Terrence McCoy and his team produced a courageously reported, beautifully written and compellingly presented six-part series showing that the destruction of the Amazon is approaching the point of no return. The stories combine on-the-ground reporting with data journalism and satellite imagery. We learn how beef illegally raised in the Amazon ends up on Americans’ dinner plates as ranchers and packers evade laws designed to protect the biome. McCoy vividly describes the lawlessness by settlers and the deadly consequences faced by those trying to stop it, among them his friend Dom Phillips, who was killed along with indigenous rights defender Bruno Pereira while investigating illegal fishing and logging. McCoy’s reporting represents the best of what foreign correspondents can do to address the world’s injustices.

During multiple trips to Haiti, a country on the brink of chaos, Haiti correspondent Jacqueline Charles gained access to the National Penitentiary in Port-au-Prince to land the first extensive interviews with two key suspects in the killing. The Herald’s richly illustrated account relied on extensive interviews, police records, court filings and more to create an interactive graphic that allowed readers to click and see how and where suspects were connected.

      Based on hundreds of hours of surveillance videos, audio recordings and interviews, this horrifying account documents in graphic detail atrocities committed by Russian troops on civilians in the suburban Kyiv town of Bucha. Supplementing the interviews, the Associated Press and FRONTLINE team used cutting edge open-source techniques — satellite and drone imagery, hours of CCTV footage and intercepted phone calls — to reveal the brutality of the Russian occupation. Russian soldiers indiscriminately shoot civilians — a man riding his bicycle, a 19-year-old boy taken from his home, a column of eight men, their hands tied behind them, being marched to their deaths. Among the most chilling revelations: transcriptions of telephone calls made by Russian soldiers to family and friends in Russia telling them about all the civilians they’ve killed.

      OPC President Paula Dwyer’s remarks from the 2021 issue of Dateline: “Journalism isn’t for the fainthearted. For some of us, it results in great personal tragedy. Yet we carry on, because journalists are always going to be needed as a vital source of information — collected and produced without fear or favor. This seems to be true now more than ever as a growing number of governments churn out propaganda, turn away from democratic freedoms, and abandon civic institutions. Nowhere is this more glaringly obvious than in Hong Kong, which was forcibly converted from a thriving democracy to mainland China’s totalitarian system in a few short years. As part of that crackdown, the government arrested Jimmy Lai, the owner and founder of Apple Daily, one of the most widely read newspapers in Hong Kong and a vocal proponent of a free press. Government officials also arrested Apple Daily’s chief editor and five other executives, then froze the paper’s assets, leaving it unable to pay staff or buy newsprint. The paper closed for good last June. So I’m pleased to give this year’s President’s Award to Jimmy Lai and the entire staff of Apple Daily.”

      Earlier than most news organizations, the Times reporting detailed the precarious hold the Ghani government had on the country and foretold the quick collapse of the Afghan security forces. Importantly, it also was at the forefront of holding the Biden administration to account for its botched exit — particularly its high-impact, forensic investigation that showed a U.S. drone strike on a suspected ISIS bomber was nothing of the sort. All of this was accomplished against the background of an unprecedented effort to exfiltrate Times reporters and Afghan staff from Kabul as the capital fell. Taken together, it was a model of covering a complex story in a dangerous environment, bringing two decades of journalistic expertise in Afghanistan to bear at the most crucial time.

      The CNN team brought us into the midst of a simmering migrant crisis fueled by Belarus and its autocratic leader, Alexander Lukashenko, that quickly boiled over into a full-scale humanitarian emergency. Camped against razor wire fences, more than 2,000 people, largely Kurds from Iraq, seeking refuge in Europe, found themselves marooned, in desperate conditions, in a political no-man’s land. Chance scored a rare interview with Lukashenko. As the crisis neared its peak, Chance, his cameraman and producer were live on CNN as violence erupted at the border checkpoint, capturing chaotic scenes — crowds of desperate migrants throwing rocks at Polish border guards, the Poles responding with tear gas and water cannons that hit Chance, who continued broadcasting, soaked and struggling to breathe. CNN, which stayed with the story until its final denouement, succeeded in putting a human face on a violent geopolitical crisis and humanitarian tragedy.

The correspondent’s empathy succeeds in getting people on both sides of the war to open up to her. The dogged investigation into one boy’s death includes skillful use of drone footage and geolocation technology, while the background explanation about the war does not slow the piece. A small former child soldier describing his trauma provides the poignant ending to the film.

      In years to come, students of history will be able to look back at these PBS NewsHour segments from Afghanistan by Jane Ferguson and team to understand what happened in the final year of America’s longest war. Throughout 2021, as most Americans’ attention had turned away, the team returned again and again to capture the final arc of the story — from the futile effort of Afghan government troops to defend their country, to the targeted assassinations of educated elites, to the desperate scramble to depart from Kabul airport, and to the humanitarian crisis once the Taliban took over. Just as important, they relayed these events from the perspective of the Afghan people and the fighters on the ground, not the safe confines of an American TV studio.

      Anand Gopal’s article is a brave and beautifully wrought tale, written with clarity and humanity, that challenges readers to think more broadly about the complicated interlacing of war and women’s rights. By speaking plainly about complex characters and the truth of their lives under U.S. occupation, Gopal introduced new, important and sometimes uncomfortable dimensions into the U.S. discussion of how Afghan women have been affected by waves of war.

      Best international business news reporting in TV, video, radio, audio or podcast

      This comprehensive investigation took listeners deep into the sugar cane harvesting camps manned by Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic. Piecing together information from visits to 10 work camps (batayes), more than 100 interviews and numerous documents, the team traced sugar from the fields to American ports, sugar refineries and candy manufacturers. Their narrative was a strong, engaging probe into Central Romana Corporation, a privately held company controlled by the Cuban-American family, the Fanjuls. The story helps illustrate how the Fanjuls obscure, through offshore corporations, their ownership of the Dominican Republic’s largest employer and the largest importer of sugar to the U.S. The reporting, which has prompted scrutiny from Congress and the Department of Labor, documented workers enduring wages of $4 a day, staggering debt, substandard housing and woeful medical care while enhancing the company’s profitability.

      Another tour de force by ICIJ, “The Pandora Papers” brought together journalists from dozens of news organizations to rummage through a treasure trove of more than 11 million leaked documents showing how money and power operate in the 21st century. Their work looked at how hundreds of government officials and wealthy individuals, including King Abdullah of Jordan and the president of the Czech Republic, hid their assets in offshore havens from the British Virgin Islands to, more surprisingly, places like South Dakota. The judges were impressed by the scope, depth and impact of the project, which toppled politicians and inspired legislation to crack down on money laundering.

      Best non-fiction book on international affairs

      Bring Back our Girls is a tour de force of reporting, insight and clear and compelling writing. It tells the story of the search for 276 Nigerian teenage schoolgirls kidnapped in 2014 by Boko Haram Islamic extremists, and features revealing individual accounts by the girls themselves. But the book is about much more: the power of social media to galvanize international attention around a single crisis; the lengthy global negotiations needed to free the girls; and the cultures and motivations of Boko Haram and Nigerians themselves. This book highlights the crushing repression of women and girls in parts of the developing world and the resilience with which they pursue their hopes. The work is bolstered by extensive field reporting, by the reporters’ expertise in African politics and culture, and by the diary of one survivor.

      Best international TV, video, radio, audio or podcast reporting showing a concern for the human condition

      VICE News devoted a full year to following the journey of Renato, a Guatemalan who had lost everything in two back-to-back hurricanes in the mountainous region of Alta Verapaz. In 2020, Renato and three other migrants embarked on a thousand-miles long trek to the United States. VICE tracked their harrowing path through Mexico, where they endured kidnapping and the demands of corrupt police officers and violent cartels. Only three of the migrants made it the United States. Renato was forced to return home. “After the Flood” portrays global climate migration at its most intimate level, documenting migration and its devastating intersection with violence and organized crime. The result is a powerful and intimate portrayal of the real-life consequences of climate change.

      At great personal risk, Ian Urbina exposed the horrors of Libyan detention camps where African migrants are held as they attempt to travel to Europe. Through a tacit and unsavory agreement, the European Union essentially pays Libya to catch and imprison the migrants so that Europe does not have to face problems on their borders. The result is a network of semi-hidden camps run by different Libyan militias where migrants are beaten, tortured, sexually abused, sometimes randomly shot at and denied basic rights that should be guaranteed under international migration agreements. Urbina’s arrest, described in the middle of the article, adds drama to his searing and unforgettable long-form piece.

      Award Honored Work: “Race to the Future”

      Best reporting in any medium on international environmental issues

      In a competitive year for international environmental journalism, many stories explored the causes and effects of a warming climate. The New York Times took a different approach. It sent more than a dozen reporters and photographers around the globe to document the little-known human and environmental costs of the race to find a solution. They found a frenzy of mining underway in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, the western Pacific and elsewhere for lithium, cobalt, nickel and other rare minerals and metals needed to produce batteries for electric vehicles. The disturbing series showed how a key element of the so-called clean energy revolution — the push to phase out gas-guzzling cars and trucks — relies in part on child labor, government corruption and deadly pollution in some of the world’s poorest countries. The seven stories — crisply written, vividly photographed and extensively documented — drew attention at the White House and led to the ouster of an allegedly corrupt senior official in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It not only exposed Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s signature response to destruction of the Amazon rainforest — sending in the army — as a costly failure. The series also documented his work to incapacitate the country’s system for fining environmental offenders. Reuters journalists delivered a nuanced portrayal of the Amazon’s indigenous tribes as they choose between conservation and development. Like the runner- up for this award, the Reuters series underscores the outsized impact that Brazil’s management of its rainforest has on the global challenge of climate change.

The stories and presentation were unique, ambitious, and inspiring in scope. It resonated with those who lived in Africa and those have no clue what cities on the continent are like.

      A powerful investigation that revealed how a highly touted and ostensibly sophisticated remote warfare system developed by the Pentagon was riddled with flaws and beset by faulty decision-making, leading to the bombing deaths of innocent civilians in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. The heart of the series was the remarkable work of Azmat Khan, who over years painstakingly assembled a unique trove of military reports on civilian casualties caused by U.S. bombings and then along with her Times colleagues interviewed bombing survivors and witnesses, often at great personal risk. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, hospital records, death certificates, even tombstones, in visits to more than 100 civilian casualty sites, Khan and her colleagues were able to construct the story of air strikes that had gone terribly wrong.

By uncovering the shocking truths of how pervasive corruption and violence has become in Mexico, the series epitomized great foreign correspondence: it tackled an important truth authorities have worked hard to hide and showed great bravery in exposing it. Importantly, the judges also felt the series was compellingly told, with each installment exposing a new horror in a clear narrative that kept readers glued to the end. Online, it was beautifully presented with innovative design elements and graphics that only enhanced the more traditional journalistic elements.

Hayeri’s work sets the highest standard for upholding the dignity of her subjects while modeling the power of photographic reportage.

      Best photographic news reporting from abroad published in any medium

      One of the many challenges for photographers in 2020 was how to capture the seismic shifts all around us, and the profound fear and loss that accompanied them, from a distance, with faces covered, through layers of plastic and hazmat suits. Heitmann’s stunning photographs documented the ravages and contradictions of the pandemic in Russia with a powerful but sensitive visual voice, pairing images of crowded churches, with portraits of isolated elderly, and mournful, surreal scenes of hospitals battling the virus. The gentle, intimate approach to the painful subject matter was a testament to the way that a light touch can produce a resounding impact.

      This series captures not only how U.S. border policies have had a terrifying and lethal impact on asylum seekers and migrants, but also how Mexico has militarized its own southern border and blocked the free movement of people from Central America. Maria Hinojosa and team tell the human stories and connect the policy dots to show how the Mexican government is no longer bowing to economic pressure from the U.S. on immigration but instead, has its own new harsh stance that criminalizes the quest for safe haven across the Americas and exposes the continent’s most vulnerable people to unprecedented dangers.

The film portrays characters pitted against a bureaucracy with the power to unravel their lives. Dogged investigative reporting and probing interviews result in a work of real impact.

      Best TV, video or documentary about international affairs with a run time over 30 minutes

      A searing documentary narrated exclusively by the most authoritative of experts: ordinary Iraqis who survived the tumultuous history unleashed after the fall and execution of Saddam Hussein. In intimate interviews, these men and women share the brief joy, then the long disillusionment, grief and terror they experienced as their country moved from the Saddam era through frightening periods of street warfare, sectarian violence and the ruthless occupation of ISIS. Countless stories have reported the details of those years, often with a focus on the actions and policies of the U.S. But the producers of this film have shown us how little we understood of how Iraqis experienced the impact of those policies. In telling us how they endured, these Iraqis have brought a new depth of understanding to America’s legacy in their country.

His impeccable pen and ink cross-hatching and weaponized bobble-headed caricatures might look at home on newspaper editorial pages of a century ago, which seems fitting since that was the last time we saw a global pandemic on the scale of Covid. With his crow quill aimed like a syringe at China, Putin, climate change and deadly conspiracies, Kal’s incisive commentary serves as the perfect shot in the arm for today’s pandemic-weary world.

      The remarkable multiyear takedown of a European fintech high-flyer, Wirecard, by a Financial Times investigative team culminated in 2020 with stories detailing the rot – not only at the Dax 30 firm, but in the German financial establishment that had sought to protect it. Dan McCrum laid out for readers the campaign by Wirecard and its hired guns to discredit and even prosecute him for unearthing the scandalous accounting, actions which earlier prompted the FT to suspend its efforts while it completed an internal probe. The work resumed with stories on the shady leaders of Wirecard and on the Big Four auditing firm, EY, whose professionals were complicit in the fraud. From this courageous and resourceful journalism have followed arrest warrants, resignations and a gaping insolvency.

      Walsh’s deep knowledge of Pakistan, lively writing, his ability to mesh certain kinds of stereotypes with the reality of the situation, his gorgeous descriptions of the scenery and historical and intellectual asides and tangents, along with his personal commitment to the story, give the book the weight of truth. His portrait of the Karachi police chief who will use any measure—no matter how brutal or corrupt—to police his beat shows how Pakistan’s forces of order control, or fail to control, the country. Each of his other portraits of Pakistani figures brings into focus another aspect of the way things keep falling apart in a critically situated nuclear-armed regional power.

Each story is exquisitely told through the ordinary people confronting those forces: rubber plantation workers in Liberia, a teenage dancer from Mali. The standout tale of a Black American who moves to Ghana to flee racism is a reminder that overseas reporting can serve as both window and mirror.

      Best international TV, video, radio, audio or podcast reporting showing a concern for the human condition

      In 2019, a dam owned by Brazil- based Vale S.A. collapsed near the Brazilian town of Brumadinho, releasing three billion gallons of mud and mining waste and leveling buildings, homes and farms. The disaster killed 270 people. In its aftermath, Wall Street Journal reporters relentlessly investigated the dam’s failure, even as Vale denied fault. The company refused interview requests and site access; Vale workers and business partners were warned not to talk. Nonetheless, the Journal found that Vale had ignored warnings about the dam’s stability and uncovered a conflict of interest in how the company conducted inspections and audits. One year after the collapse, reporters Samantha Pearson and Luciana Magalhaes narrated an episode of The Journal podcast that told the story of the dam, its vulnerabilities and the double-edged sword of Vale’s compensatory payments to the mostly poor victims of the disaster. Ultimately, the Journal’s work helped pave the way for regulatory changes in Brazil, strengthened industry guidelines world-wide and gave voice to the countless people whose lives were upended by the collapse.

      Best international reporting in any medium dealing with human rights

      “Fruits of Labor”A powerful story of exploitation, slavery, human trafficking, sexual harassment, and greed in the making of palm oil – and ubiquitous ingredient which Americans consume daily. As one source interviewed for the series put it: “When Americans and Europeans see palm oil is listed as an ingredient in their snacks,” he said, they should know “it’s the same as consuming our sweat and blood. The detailed and often risky reporting connected the chilling abuses on the palm oil plantations directly to the reader and explained why the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) stamp of approval is not enough. Indeed, these labels can be misleading to consumers who then believe a product is free from unsustainable and inhumane practices. Verification and auditing is always difficult, but the reporters made the case that Roundtable is used for greenwashing. The horrific practices that go into making palm oil in Indonesia and elsewhere are not new, but these stories helped bring the problems to light yet again and captured the attention of everyone from U.S. Senators to Girl Scouts.

      Lustgarten spent two years reporting in places as far-flung as Guatemala and Eastern Russia, for this sweeping series about climate migration. It’s a rich tapestry of individual voices, computer modeling and essay writing, including a meditation on whether it’s time to flee from fires engulfing his home in Northern California. We meet Jorge A., a Guatemalan farmer driven by drought to cross the border into the U.S., and a Chinese man named Dima who moves north into Russia to grow soybeans. The writing is spellbinding, the scope ambitious and the result scary, as Lustgarten contemplates a not-too- distant future in which one-fifth of the world’s surface area will be uninhabitable and tens of millions of people are forced to leave their homes. Kohut’s photography brings into sharp focus the people and the ways in which a changing climate is driving their movements.

      This whip-smart series offered a fresh, reader-friendly exploration – by a regional newspaper working its own backyard – into what really happens to those seeking the promise of asylum at America’s doorstep. The stories focused not on economic migrants but those fleeing political violence back home – from paramilitaries in Daniel Ortega’s Nicaragua – who were stranded in Tijuana. We knew the immigration and asylum courts were overwhelmed in 2020, but reporter Kate Morrissey and colleagues showed, with deep data dives and shoe-leather reporting in the courtrooms, how capricious and unjust the system can be.

      Award Honored Work: “Built to Last”

      Best story or series of stories on international affairs using creative and dynamic digital storytelling techniques

      China has built hundreds of high-security internment camps to incarcerate Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities while publicly denying the existence of such detention facilities. In an area blacked out on Baidu, the Chinese equivalent of Google maps, BuzzFeed’s use of satellite images proved the existence of more detention facilities than previously known. BuzzFeed’s reporting was notable for its combination of hard-to-source interviews with innovative use of satellite images and 3D visualization. The result was a powerful project that showed conclusively that China is operating a massive and industrialized internment system.

      In an era where great reporting is often associated with mobilizing massive teams and multi-media packages, Sudarsan Raghavan’s Yemen package reminded us that sometimes all it takes to deliver outstanding work is one talented reporter with in-depth knowledge of the subject and the courage to go digging in the field. The breadth and scope of the stories—from inside a hospital to interviews with Houthi commanders and U.S. and regional allies funding and weaponizing the war—illustrated a complex and important conflict. Classic intrepid solo reporting matched with beautiful writing, human faces and big picture analysis.

      Best newspaper, news service or digital interpretation of international affairs

      The courageous reporting by two Reuters reporters who were arrested while investigating a massacre in the Myanmar village of Inn Din, and the fierce commitment of their news organization to complete their journalistic mission, led to an outstanding series of articles exposing and explaining the government’s atrocities against the Rohingya. Wa Lone, Kyaw Soe Oo and their colleagues discovered a mass grave, obtained photographs of the victims, interviewed family members and identified some of the perpetrators of the slaughter. They used the incident to open a window on the larger forces that enabled the massacre, including the infantry divisions that spearheaded the attacks, the use of social media to incite hatred, and government leaders who turned a blind eye. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo remain in prison. This award for “Myanmar Burning” is a tribute to their spirit.

      Best photographic reporting from abroad requiring exceptional courage and enterprise published in any medium

      Through a year of making monthly visits to document the stories of people at different stages of their trek north through Central America, Carolyn Van Houten brought a deep level of humanity and empathy to a story that saturated the news media. Courage in storytelling is not only defined by proximity to violence and danger, but also by having the guts to go where others are not, and to look beneath the surface to understand the true impact of these crises. Van Houten’s work demonstrates this, but more than that, she embodies this ethos as a storyteller and a person. This award is not just for her talent as a photographer, but for her compassion and courage in storytelling.

      The jury saw several strong portfolios from Yemen—a country that, until last year, had been severely neglected by the mainstream media. Nariman El-Mofty’s work stood out. We were moved by her clear commitment to the subject, but also by her thoughtful and surprising use of light, color and framing to capture a conflict zone that has almost always been depicted through a darker lens. The variety of scenes that El-Mofty documented—from malnourished children to crumbling infrastructure to snippets of daily life—convey the complexity of a country and a conflict that the world still struggles to understand.

      Shiho Fukada’s quiet, intimate glimpse into the lives of elderly female Japanese prisoners is both striking and surprising. It presents a sweet, empathetic portrait of a group of women who had to be photographed under challenging circumstances to protect their identities. These photos are a humanizing point of entry into any number of broader conversations: about aging, about loneliness, about society’s role in caring for its elderly and the challenges we will increasingly face with growing elder populations. We don’t know these women, but through Shiho’s photos we understand them and their uncertain future.

Despite intimidation from Iraqi military intelligence officers and stonewalling by the top Iraqi military commander on camera, Vice’s commitment and resourcefulness in getting the story led to even more international coverage and to international human rights observers obtaining access to the site themselves.

      Patrick Chappatte’s cartoons for The New York Times were a model of the form. One, in particular, stood out: a scene inside a Saudi Arabian classroom that highlighted the changing face of that country and the dangers inherent in one particular profession – journalism. Like so much of Chappatte’s work, it economically and elegantly conveys the idea in a dynamic way—concisely and with nuance, illustrating the kinds of freedom that democracy needs and autocracy fears. It manages that feat with humor—no easy task, considering the seriousness of the topic and the gruesomeness of the event that inspired it. It is, simply, a remarkable accomplishment.

      “Tell the story of your village,” the Italian novelist Andrea Camilleri once said. “If you tell it well, you will have told the story of the world.” Anand Gopal is not from the war-torn Syrian village of Saraquib, but he immersed himself in the life and soul of the place during six years of brave and brilliant reporting. The result was a masterpiece. Gopal distilled the scope of the savagery and complexity of the Syrian war into a compelling, coherent narrative. He painted an unforgettable portrait of citizens who clung to their ideals amid death and devastation. Gopal’s elegant writing brought alive characters such as the accountant Osama al-Hossein, who withstood peril and suffering to lead the first election in Saraquib. This tragic yet heroic saga told an important story about a place and its people—and a larger story about humanity at its best and worst.

      It’s no secret that authoritarian regimes such as China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are gaining influence around the globe. The surprise is who is helping them: American consulting firms, British public relations shops and Western political operatives all looking to make a buck. With its intrepid series “The Enablers,” The New York Times exposed how the brightest minds in the West are linked to some of the darkest deeds of strongmen and plutocrats. In exchange for multi-million dollar paydays, these fee-seekers have helped Saudi Arabia jail dissidents at home and starve civilians in Yemen. They have strengthened China’s military, helped a Russian oligarch evade U.S. sanctions and assisted South Africa’s leaders in gutting the tax agency investigating them for tax evasion—just a few examples uncovered over months of reporting that was powerful, sobering and impressive in its sweep.

      No Turning Back” is an extraordinary feat of reporting—a searing account of the lives of Syrians from all sides caught up in a catastrophic war. A fluent Arabic speaker, Abouzeid draws on her years of often dangerous reporting inside the conflict zone and the deep ties she has built up with people of all political and religious persuasions. This allows her to describe and explain in detail Syria’s tragic descent from the optimism of the first peaceful democratic uprisings in 2011 to the sectarian slaughter of civilians and brutal and misguided foreign interventions. Abouzeid spares nothing in describing the appalling torture and endless mass killings of civilians by the Assad regime. But her use of personal narratives and her fluid writing never let us lose track of the humanity of the Syrians suffering on all sides.

      Through an intimate portrait of one family, we experience the impact on 287 million Chinese migrant workers who live apart from their families. In a country known for restrictions on the media, VICE follows a couple working in a coastal city during their 40-hour journey home to their rural village for the Lunar New Year. We are with them as they sleep upright in a packed train car and during their reunion with their excited young son and sullen 15-year-old daughter, who refuses to embrace them after a year of separation. Through words (translated) and a camera (that is often close up and sometimes undercover), we recognize the tradeoffs forced on families by economic hardships— the regret of hardworking young parents missing their children, the weariness of a grandfather doing his best to raise them, and uncomfortable silences as the family pinches dough for dumplings for a once-a-year holiday meal. While many of us knew about this massive migration, we only came to understand it through this cinematic depiction of one family living a universal story.

      Best international reporting in any medium dealing with human rights

      In-depth reporting across continents traced the creation of a precision missile made by Raytheon in Tucson, Arizona, which was bought by the Saudi government and ultimately dropped on some innocent villagers in Yemen who had been outside celebrating a plan to dig a new well near their homes. Jeffrey Stern traced the missile from beginning to end: interviewing Raytheon workers, Human Rights Watch staff, explaining just how the Department of Defense helps U.S. corporations export deadly weapons and describing the business-as-usual tone of Raytheon CEO Thomas Kennedy on an earnings call with financial analysts. Stern returns to the Yemeni village where lives, bones and dreams were shattered. The forensic, thorough, diligent reporting of Stern brought home the human toll of all those actions and gave voice to people who are little-heard. With a calm sense of moral outrage, Stern shows us how the U.S. government and businesses have blood on their hands.

      Award Honored Work: “Venezuela Coverage”

      Best reporting in any medium on Latin America

      Venezuela is an extremely difficult country for journalist s right now. News organizations across the Americas produced gutsy, deep and harrowing coverage of Venezuela’s economic and social collapse. The Reuters’ Caracas bureau excelled in telling compelling stories of the wrenching decision taken by millions of Venezuelans to leave their country in order to survive. Also impressive was the Reuters investigation chronicling a Chinese company’s collaboration with the Maduro government on new, high-tech national ID cards that enable the regime to track citizens’ receipt of government services. Finally, the deep dive on the chaos within the country’s state-run oil company provided a road map to the country’s economic collapse. How a country that holds the world’s largest reserves of oil could be suffering a drop in oil production is one of the mysteries that confound outside observers; this Reuters analysis explains why, and makes it clear that increased military involvement in running the oil giant ties the armed forces ever closer to the Maduro administration.

      Best story or series of stories on international affairs using creative and dynamic storytelling techniques

      When 20-year-old medic Rouzan al-Najjar was killed by an Israeli bullet in Gaza last June, she instantly became a symbol of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this 5-month interactive investigation, the New York Times not only captured the complex life and death of a charismatic young woman from Gaza, but also revealed how the shot that killed her was potentially a war crime. Collecting and analyzing more than 1,000 images from the site of the killing, Times reporters partnered with the British research agency Forensic Architecture to create a 3D reconstruction of the fatal shot from six angles. Reporters made multiple trips to Gaza, visited Israeli sniper positions, analyzed ballistic evidence, and interviewed legal experts, government officials, eyewitnesses, and those who knew al-Najjar best. The resulting evidence challenged the Israel Defense Forces’ claim about the shot that killed al-Najjar, and prompted a criminal investigation. Judge Mansi Choksi, a friend and reporting partner of Kim Wall, said it was exactly “the kind of ambitious story Kim would have liked to do,” particularly because it “challenged gendered cliches about empowerment and victimization.”

      Best investigative reporting in any medium on an international story

      For sheer breadth, depth of research and astonishing findings, Implant Files is in a class by itself. Reported by 350 journalists around the globe, the investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the Associated Press and NBC News Investigative Unit exposed deadly flaws in the global regulation of medical that have left thousands disfigured, disabled or dead. By mining buried U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) records, reporters reached the shocking conclusion that during the last decade alone defective implants have caused 83,000 deaths and 1.7 million injuries around the world. The investigation also showed how regulators are bowing to industry pressure to rush products to market and then covering up reports of injuries and deaths when those devices fail. Anecdotal stories have long surfaced about medical devices gone wrong. But the ICIJ-led probe showed that the failures are a systemic problem that authorities have refused to confront. The series sparked immediate pledges for reform from health authorities in North America and Europe.

      No story captured world attention in 2017 like North Korea’s claim to have developed a nuclear-armed intercontinental missile capable of unleashing a once-unthinkable war. Of the multiple media projects that explored and analyzed Kim Jong-un’s objectives, The New York Times most effectively harnessed the expertise of its correspondents around the world. Their stories explained the failed Western strategies for containing Kim, looked beyond the cartoonish portrayals of the determined young leader and detailed his success in circumventing sanctions to bankroll “parallel advance”—the loosening of constraints on private enterprise that both improved North Korea’s economy and helped Kim realize his dream of turning his nation into a nuclear power.

      At the heart of good journalism is an honest reckoning with how we know what we know, and what more we need to know. Such was the case with the NPR podcast Rough Translations’ episode: “The Congo We Listen To.” It featured Laura Heaton, a freelance reporter who decided to revisit the 2010 story of mass rape by militia groups in a Congolese village, wanting to know whether that brief period of saturated international media attention had a lasting impact on the village and its women. What she found was that the real story was different from what had been reported, and she worked to find out why village women had chosen to hide the full story. Heaton, with Rough Translation host Gregory Warner, produced a complex and compelling tale about what stories are told, what stories are hidden, and how journalists with good instincts, time and patience, can find a much richer story by listening for what hasn’t been said.

      CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh and Arwa Damon brought viewers directly into the final fight to push the ISIS terrorists out of their strongholds in Iraq and Syria while at the same time revealing its terrible human cost. Paton Walsh and his team witnessed the fight for the Al-Nuri mosque in Mosul and the closing hours of the battle when ISIS fighters emerged from the ruins and gave themselves up. Damon’s reporting and particularly poignant narrative on the dead and injured is so strong it is hard to watch. An Arabic speaker, Arwa encouraged survivors of a U.S. bombing that killed over 100 people in Mosul to talk about the agony and death that surrounded them. Judges felt the complementary stories by Paton Walsh and Damon were extraordinary examples of the psychological cost to the victims of prolonged ISIS rule and the fighting that brought it to an end.

      Best TV, video or documentary interpretation of international affairs less than one hour

      The world has been riveted in horror by the brutality of ISIS and the long, bloody campaign to defeat it in Syria and Iraq. The climactic showdown was the 9-month-long battle of Mosul. In Mosul, filmmaker Olivier Sarbil follows a squad of Iraqi Special Forces as they fight their way house by house through Mosul. His documentary stands out for the way it connects viewers with the characters of four Iraqi soldiers, putting human faces on an inhuman conflict. Sarbil shows how the mostly Sunni civilians fear the predominantly Shiite Iraqi soldiers, who in turn are wary of ISIS fighters trying to hide among the civilians they meet – this is the fundamental root of the conflict. We hear the crunch of broken glass under the soldiers’ boots as they approach a doorway, the whispered warning not to move a curtain which could give away their position, the boom of a car bomb that kills one of their comrades. This is the ugly, unpredictable but relentless face of war, seen from up very close through Sarbil’s lens—and clearly at substantial risk to himself.

      Best TV, video or documentary about international affairs one hour or longer

      This remarkable documentary, “Cries from Syria”, serves as an important contribution to the reporting on the Syrian crisis, one of the most challenging conflicts for foreign journalists to cover. By combining footage shot by activists and ordinary citizens with interviews with Syrians who have survived the war, the film masterfully captures a story that is both personal and comprehensive. The filmmaker sheds light on the human toll of the Syrian conflict and highlights the extent of the Syrian government’s war crimes against its own people. It is a film that not only informs and raises awareness of the ongoing war but also memorializes the Syrians who were on the front lines of the conflict.

      Azmat Khan and Anand Gopal spent almost two years visiting about 150 bomb sites in northern Iraq, often at great personal risk, for this powerful story that showed civilian casualties caused by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes were considerably higher than previously reported. With acompelling main character in Bassim Razzo, whose home and family in Mosul were obliterated, indefatigable sleuthing by Khan and Gopal that challenged U.S. statistics, and an impressive use of photography and videography, “The Uncounted” provided a horrifying accounting of the true cost of America’s war.

      Best magazine international business news reporting in print or digital

      Puerto Rico lives in a limbo. As a territory of the United States, its people have American citizenship. But lacking statehood, the island lacks clout in Washington, as became tragically evident in 2017, when a hurricane devastated the island-and Puerto Ricans were largely left to their own devices. Monte Reel’s engagingly written account of the aftermath, “How to Rebuild Puerto Rico,” is a sweeping, moving and financially literate account of Puerto Ricans’ struggle to recover. Refusing to bow to cynicism and commending the islanders’ grit, Reel nevertheless realistically examines the obstacles, in Washington and home-grown, to not only recovery but also to a lasting prosperity for this perennially troubled land.

      In industry after industry companies with big lobbying budgets have managed to control and even dictate regulations without being seen. In “The Phillip Morris Files”, a team of Reuters’ reporters takes us inside that world: the behind-the-scenes maneuvering; the strategic targeting of weakest government links; and the congratulatory high-fiving when the mission is accomplished. This eyeopening series shows just how sophisticated and determined the tobacco industry has been in fighting anti-tobacco forces in government and at international agencies. The team of reporters took powerful leaked documents, followed it up with shoe-leather reporting, and brought home a series with impact.

      American journalist Suzy Hansen moved to Istanbul to better understand the Muslim world. Her highly insightful and engaging book weaves her own background—white, small-town America, elite college—with an awakening on why the U.S. is often hated overseas amid decades of American intervention in the Middle East and elsewhere. She takes aim in particular at how the abiding myth of “American exceptionalism” has blinded American policymakers, journalists and citizens to an often sordid reality. Hansen has produced a sweeping and powerful corrective to the way
      most Americans view U.S. foreign policy of the past 70 years.

The result is gripping, timely coverage that evoked ghastly images, but also showed the determination of ordinary Iraqis to retain their dignity and humanity in the worst of circumstances. Overall, a sophisticated package of stories that illuminate a human condition the world should not ignore.

      “The Kill List” is a personal and riveting behind-the-scenes insight into the Philippines drug war as seen through the eyes of people involved. The viewer is taken on a journey by hunters and the hunted. The quest by the police to rid the streets of drug users results in the hunted left lifeless. We are taken inside a morgue where a young man is asked to identify a body. He pulls back the sheet and sees the corpse of his father. The moment is raw and emotional. Visible are the bullet wounds and the cuff marks on his wrists. Ed Ou’s spell-binding camerawork is strikingly powerful. Kudos to the video team for taking a back seat and letting the characters and the visuals own this powerful story.

      In a year filled with horrific violence in many parts of the world, the war in Yemen did not get the attention it deserved. The AP series on the secret torture taking place fills out much of what was unknown about the war in Yemen led by U.S. ally Saudi Arabia. Maggie Michael took great personal risks, with her video colleague, driver and fixers, to tell the story of the 18 secret prisons in Yemen where detainees are tortured by men from the UAE. Chillingly, eyewitness reported seeing Americans in U.S. Military uniform assisting with interrogations. Michael also documented other effects of the proxy war waged in Yemen including malnourished children and economic pressures that result in more childhood marriages as families seek to offload their daughters. Michael and her team documented all of this and more in a chilling package that included charts, video and compelling graphics. The response was immediate and included calls by U.S. senators and the government of Yemen for an investigation.

The judges especially liked the team’s ambition, as well as its conclusion that no energy source, no matter how clean, is free of victims—a fact that is too often lost in the coverage of climate change.

      Through rigorous investigation and compelling writing, Richard Marosi of the Los Angeles Times exposed the origins of a $100 billion scandal that has littered Mexico with shoddy housing projects and the broken aspirations of millions of would-be homeowners. Conceived at the turn of the century as a public-private initiative to build affordable suburbs across the country, the program raised billions from global investors and sparked the largest residential construction boom in Latin America. But instead of lifting up working-class families, the Times found, the program set off a “slow-motion social and financial catastrophe.” Drawing on documents, interviews and inspection of 50 developments from Tijuana to the Gulf of Mexico, Marosi chronicled how corruption, poor planning and impunity trapped thousands of Mexicans in unhealthy, sub-standard housing many could not afford. The Times series skillfully explored themes of poverty, inequality, corruption and accountability. It is a powerful example of investigative reporting and lucid writing arrayed against a major public issue hiding in plain sight.

      What does it feel like to be occupied in 2017? To answer this question, The Washington Post produced an intimate, immersive series that transports readers into the worlds of three Palestinians: an everyman construction worker; a matriarch in the final stages of cancer, and an idealistic tycoon striving to build a model city amidst turmoil. Fusing powerful writing, photos, maps and raw footage, “Occupied” captures the slow grind of thousands of men inching through a single checkpoint, and what it means to seek cancer treatment in an area where only 16 oncologists serve a population of more than 4 million. In doing so, journalists William Booth, Sufian Taha and Linda Davidson bring to life the continued human costs of Israel’s military occupation that has now lasted 50 years.

      Best investigative reporting in any medium on an international story

      Rodrigo Duterte was elected president of the Philippines in 2016 on a promise to eradicate the scourge of drugs. Since then, his police forces have pursued that aim with a bloody vengeance, killing more than 9,000 people. The government has described the raids as legitimate law enforcement operations. In the series “Duterte’s War,” Reuters reporters Clare Baldwin and Andrew R.C. Marshall demolish that defense. Reuters dispatched Baldwin and Marshall to train a microscope on the mayhem. Aided by Manuel Mogato, they combed through law enforcement’s own records to pinpoint operations and identify the officers who conducted them. They examined video surveillance, interviewed scores of witnesses, debriefed emergency room physicians, reviewed leaked documents and obtained crucial testimony from senior police commanders themselves. Their exhaustive, meticulous reporting exposes the scope of the state’s role in the slaughter of its own citizens, making the unanswerable case that the Philippine police have been acting as death squads and using a variety of ruses to cover their tracks.

      In insightful, enduring, and richly detailed reports, Dreier chronicled the unraveling of a nation. Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis is not the story of a people overlooked by progress; it is the story of a once-prosperous society, with the largest oil reserves in the world, driven by its leaders to the brink of starvation. Dreier bore witness to a collapse of middle-class life — food riots, collapsing health care, the dawn of mob justice –and then unearthed its origins, a combination of mismanagement, political delusion and corruption. Throughout, she also exposed a less visible realm of ruin: the loss of empathy among neighbors, the corrosion of the soul. Her efforts had consequences. U.S. senators called for sanctions against corrupt officials. Readers donated money to pay for a child’s medical treatments. At the same time, she received threats from Venezuelan intelligence officers and government supporters. Hannah Dreier’s brave and revealing reporting exemplifies the legacy of Hal Boyle and the best of foreign correspondence. It is not only a rendering of recent history but also a warning for the future.

The team took readers into the fascinating and bizarre world behind the “Great Firewall.” They explained how the authoritarian regime in Beijing has utilized social media and web usage to create an Orwellian surveillance tool, the “social credit rating,” to punish and reward every citizen. They interviewed dissidents who test the boundaries of an implacable crackdown that has succeeded in blocking tens of thousands of websites, yet tolerates certain loopholes for a globally connected minority. The series was smart, vivid and effective, bringing alive a difficult subject. It explored a frontier where geopolitics and technology converge, presenting counter-intuitive questions about how governments manage ever-sprawling societies that have the potential to affect vast numbers of people, far beyond China and far into the future.

      Award Honored Work: “Moments of change for Palestinians and Israelis”

      What causes people to change their minds, their beliefs, their view of the forces shaping their lives? These four powerful and nuanced stories describe such pivotal moments for people living in the middle of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Emily Harris introduces us to a Palestinian man whose empathy transforms him from revenge seeker to peace activist. Then we meet a Palestinian woman, long involved in peace activism, who becomes alienated from the process and from her former Israeli friends. An Israeli woman changes from settlement opponent to West Bank settler. And a former Israeli soldier, once a proud defender of the nation, suddenly sees himself as “occupier” when he smiles at a young Palestinian girl and catches her look of fear in response. These profound transformations, pulling in different directions, deftly remind listeners of the many facets of this conflict, and they presage the challenges of finding a lasting peace.

Reported over two years from nine countries with four correspondents, the 75-minute long program aired on the eve of the 2016 Rio Games and revealed that the IOC pursues wealth, privilege and glory for its members at a staggering cost to people around the world. This complex and disturbing story shed new light on the IOC and uncovered graft and corruption at a great cost to human rights and dignity at the Olympic Games.

      Anand Gopal’s “The Hell After ISIS” is a beautifully written account of the consequences of war. His narrative, based on 13 months of reporting, recounts the suffering of one Sunni family in Iraq, fleeing ISIS jihadists only to fall prey to unforgiving Shia militias. Gopal was detained and expelled from Iraq, but managed to return to complete this compelling narrative that sheds light on both the rise of ISIS and the global refugee crisis.

      Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel’s engaging piece about a multi-billion-dollar deal between Goldman Sachs and Qaddafi’s Libya was a feat of storytelling. The careful and vivid selection of details — a banned novel resting on the table, a late-night call to a prostitute in Dubai, the long wait for an elevator in Tripoli — brought a cinematic quality to the writing. The reporting was equally impressive. The story, drawn from court documents and interviews, created three-dimensional characters and offered readers a rare glimpse into how secretive financial deals are sealed. It was a thrilling collision between two of the biggest news themes of the past decade — the financial crisis of 2008 and an autocracy on its last legs before the Arab Spring.

      Award Honored Work: “The Invention of Russia: From Gorbachev’s Freedom to Putin’s War”

      Grippingly told and brimming with brilliant insights, “The Invention of Russia: From Gorbachev’s Freedom to Putin’s War” explained the past 60 years of Russia’s turbulent political development. Arkady Ostrovsky, a veteran Russian-born journalist who has been on the scene at historical events, immersed himself in years of Russian newspapers and TV programming, and conducted candid interviews with dozens of Russia’s leading politicians, oligarchs and media kingmakers. The result was a fascinating and compelling insider account of how power has been won and lost among Russia’s ruling elite. Ostrovsky highlighted the outsized influence of the Russian media, from the pioneering newspaper Kommersant to the national TV networks and their often amoral news anchors. In one chilling anecdote, political reformer Boris Nemstov visits the office of Russia’s newly elected president, Vladimir Putin, and sees nothing on Putin’s desk except a TV remote control. Putin would soon establish complete power over Russian media; years later, Nemstov would be assassinated.

      Robyn Dixon’s vivid dispatches from Nigeria and South Sudan read like novellas, with strong central characters presented not in archetype but in all their complex humanity as they struggle against corruption, terrorism and civil war. Thorough, revelatory news reporting undergirded these tales, but Dixon kept the focus on ordinary people in unimaginable circumstances: a big-hearted father of 25, a driving teacher on perilous roads, a teenage girl traded for cattle. The lyrical storytelling offered a fresh look at African lives that have slipped from view as U.S. news outlets shrink foreign coverage. A concern for the human condition was embedded in Dixon’s journalism — her subjects are survivors, and their capacity for resilience lingered with the reader. Dixon’s work was a master class in foreign reporting that preserves the dignity and voices of the people who trust us with their stories.

      This was a captivating piece of documentary-making. While there have been many stories on the Syrian refugee crisis, PBS produced a lovely, layered story of tragedy and hope that added context to the migrant story. The team perfectly captured the emotion of a family dealing with war and its effects. The focus switched from person to person seamlessly, building rich pictures of each family member. When the family arrives in Germany, each member is seen coping in different ways with their new lives. The eldest daughter makes German friends, shedding her hijab for lipstick and for the first time in her life feeling free. Her mother, however, seems adrift without her husband of 21 years, lonely and confused in a strange country. The cinematography was first rate.

      Award Honored Work: “Islamic State: A Savage Legacy”

      AP’s “Savage Legacy” series was a powerful reminder of the role that the basic business of journalism – getting the facts – still plays in the battle against human rights abuses, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The series also underlined how the reach of a global news agency can tell a story that goes beyond one country or region, showing the patterns that reflect systematized atrocities. The series is also a testament to the spirit and endurance of public service journalism. While officials were slow to document the deaths and destruction of the Islamic State, AP reporters, often at great personal risk, took an active role collecting evidence of the tragedies and despair. The AP documented the existence of 72 mass graves and the destruction of cultural and religious sites by corroborating survivor testimony with satellite imagery, on the ground reporting and reports from local rights groups. The result was a series of stories that established not just the terrible facts, but gave voice to the survivors of atrocities, implicitly challenging the international community to ensure that the perpetrators are eventually held to account.

      In a raw and unique tale from the Central African Republic, Woods described in vivid detail how three 20-somethings run the remote, 38,000-square-mile Chinko wildlife preserve. In his lone, intrepid journey, Woods captured the chilling terror and life-threatening peril the small team endures in the course of their work, including how they stave off murderous gunmen and spend months in an overcrowded jail. All this in order to keep alive one of Africa’s most pristine habitats, with herds of elephant, antelope, rhinos and a multitude of other animals. The story, written with sensitivity and attentiveness, cast a light on the grueling, back-breaking effort needed to protect wildlife in a country with no resources, rampant corruption, and brutal horrors.

      In a category dominated by the global refugee crisis, “The 21st Century Gold Rush” charted fresh territory in a well-traversed international issue by digging deeply into those who have profited from the refugee crisis. Spanning four countries, with characters from warlords to sex slaves, Huffington Post reporters Malia Politzer and Emily Kassie worked tirelessly to uncover a hidden side of the economics of global migration, and told it through powerful digital storytelling. Integrating text, photography, ambient video, documentary video and animations, the story was a seamless and searing window into a dangerous ecosystem that is only just coming to light.

      Award Honored Work: “War Crimes in Syria”

      The war in Syria has generated headlines around the world, many of them focusing on atrocities committed by the militant group, Islamic State. Less understood is the saga of torture and murder going on in every corner of the Syrian government’s security and intelligence apparatus. In an exhaustively detailed account, Ben Taub of The New Yorker laid bare the horrific campaign to stamp out opposition, sanctioned by top levels of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government. Based on a heroic international effort to gather documentation of these war crimes, Taub’s account took the more than 600,000 photos, internal memos and witness statements collected thus far and wove a powerful and heartbreaking story of a government waging war on its own citizens. Taub spent months poring through the war crimes files to collect evidence of at least 11,000 victims mutilated, cut, burned, shot, beaten and strangled by the powerful apparatus of the Syrian state. His meticulous review of the documents was supplemented by his own unforgettable interviews with one of the regime’s torture victims, and the dramatic saga of the war crimes investigators themselves — lending a powerful humanity to the document dive. The result was a piece that deployed the best traditions of investigative journalism to achieve a chilling and unforgettable narrative that truly holds power to account.

      Award Honored Work: “Trump, Russia and the Reality of Power”

      If ever a year summoned commentators to think outside the conventional boundaries, it was 2016. The world’s last superpower elected an impetuous, self-absorbed reality TV star to be its commander in chief. His campaign evidently was assisted – in what measure we still don’t know – by a Russia that remains a virtual dictatorship. It was a year made for Masha Gessen. In essays written for The New York Review of Books, the Russian-born journalist and author brilliantly deconstructed the Trump-Putin relationship, confronted unquestioned assumptions about how power works, and described a profound crisis of democracy. Some of her dark forecasts (a stock market crash if Trump won) have not come true (yet), but there is much she got right, not least the ascent of Trump. “It’s time to force ourselves to imagine the unimaginable…Trump being elected president.” That was in July. Whether or not you shared her deep pessimism about a Trump presidency, she made you think.

      Award Honored Work: “Seafood From Slaves”

      In a series of powerful, touching and scrupulously reported stories and videos, a team of Associated Press reporters exposed an ugly truth behind much of the inexpensive seafood on our tables—it is produced by people held captive for years and even decades in Thailand’s seafood industry. The use of slaves to fish for seafood in some parts of the world was widely suspected. But the AP team doggedly located and interviewed captive slaves and followed specific loads of slave-caught seafood to supply chains of particular brands and stores. The effort resulted in the freeing of more than 2,000 slaves, the jailing of a dozen people, the shuttering of businesses and the seizing of ships worth millions of dollars. It spawned calls for action and promises of reform from some of the world’s largest food retailers. The series exemplified foreign correspondence at its best: bearing witness, uncovering the truth and making a difference in people’s lives.

      Radio Lab’s Molly Webster and her team took a fascinating story about a gay Israeli couple on a quest to contract for a surrogate baby and turned it into a human, complex and surprising international tale of intolerance, economics and—ultimately—love. They followed the story to Turkey and Nepal, where they discovered a cottage industry of Indian surrogate mothers carrying babies conceived with East European eggs and Israeli sperm. The story showed how cultures cross-fertilize, brought together by different needs and sometimes to each others’ symbiotic benefit. It had no easy answers and challenged listeners’ assumptions about exploitation, risks and benefits of the most intimate—and ethically challenging—of industries.

      Best TV or video spot news reporting from abroad

      Working in a medium relatively new to the organization, journalists at The New York Times conveyed the terror, confusion and pain of the Paris terror attack almost contemporaneously by simply allowing eyewitnesses and victims to tell their stories, in their own words. The fact that these narrated accounts were spoken in French (and subtitled) did not detract at all from their power—a testament to the strength of this approach. Sensitive photography and lighting and effective use of ambient sound highlighted the stakes of the narration. The Times also judiciously used music, graphics and B-roll to highlight the reporting without overwhelming it. Especially noteworthy was the piece “An Improbable Survivor.” During the live coverage of the attacks, much of the world had been transfixed by the image of a man dangling outside a window at the Bataclan Concert Hall. The Times tracked him down and told his story.

      Through dozens of interviews and forensic detail, McConnell delivers an epic retelling of the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi in September 2013. Tracking down survivors, first responders, police and neighborhood security, McConnell pieces together a minute-by-minute account of the attack by four Somali Al-Shabaab operatives, which resulted in at least 67 deaths, including their own. Through the eyes of those who lived through the horror, McConnell takes readers into the heart of the events, as though they were in the midst of the violence. The result is a wrenching and breathless experience, in which each person is left to weigh life-and-death decisions in a split second. Through much of it, McConnell shows, police officers stood impotently outside, failing to act to save lives; the military’s glacial response amounted mostly to looting. A heartbreaking and damning story.

      Best international business news reporting in newspapers, news services or online

      This project checked all the boxes: stellar reporting, terrific writing and fantastic use of storytelling tools traditional and nontraditional. It is an excellent example of enterprise business reporting that captured the big picture while focusing on the interest of the powerless. We were struck at how each entry distinctly exposed a layer of this shameful, globe-spanning enterprise. The impact of the story was impressive, achieving what many in our industry think is impossible or difficult to do.

      This series was awarded both the Hal Boyle and the Malcolm Forbes Awards.

      Exceptionally detailed reporting on a critical topic: how resource-rich African countries have been looted by their political leaders working hand-in-hand with international corporations. Burgis carries out remarkable on-the-ground investigations to identify the government and corporate officials who, in country after country, collude to amass tremendous fortunes while leaving their citizens impoverished and powerless. The book is a must-read for those eager to understand the problems plaguing a wide swath of Africa today.

      The Times dispatched reporters to seven countries to report and write the heartbreaking narratives that helped readers understand the struggles of Syrians looking for safe refuge from the terrors of their nation’s civil war and ISIS. We were incredibly moved by the mother who had to leave her two sick children behind while she tried to make a new home for them in Sweden. The despair of the refugee camp in Jordan also struck us. The articles were translated into Arabic. The photographs were remarkable. The editing was excellent. For their intrepid reporting to show the human condition in the form of a refugee crisis that has unsettled the world, especially Europe, we commend the team that produced this series.

      “Escaping Isis” offers an exclusive, inside look at a secret underground cell working to free women and children from captivity. It was noted for its extraordinary access and carefully detailed depiction of daunting efforts to carry out extremely dangerous rescue work. One judge described the film as restorative journalism at its best, revealing the positive, successful efforts of those who have chosen to risk their lives to win freedom for less fortunate others. Beautifully written and edited, the film is a sensitive, humanizing portrayal of suffering and redemption.

      The team’s superb reporting addresses one of America’s biggest human rights failings: the continued existence of the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay. Among other revelations, they broke new ground about the prevalence of torture in Guantanamo Bay and the CIA’s sexual abuse of prisoners. Rohde and Levinson dug through thousands of pages of legal files to unearth information that had not been published previously. The series also explains why Guantanamo Bay still has not been closed and provides new information about the Military Commission, how a court meant to supervise Guantanamo was open to manipulation and how the transfer of prisoners was delayed by the Pentagon even after countries had been found to take them. This depressing and provocative series did what the best reporting should do: report unflinchingly what had been hidden.

      Projects funded by the World Bank physically or economically displaced an estimated 3.4 million people over the past 10 years. More than 80 journalists from over 20 countries worked for more than a year documenting tragedies that occurred as bank-funded projects failed to abide by the institution’s principles and policies. The investigation was led by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and The Huffington Post. Days after being informed of the reporting team’s findings, the World Bank said it would address the problem of “involuntary resettlement.” The investigation combines searing local reporting for both written and visual media, instructive data visualizations and a rigorous analysis of 4,000 World Bank files related to some 1,500 bank-funded projects.

      Best reporting in any medium on Latin America

      This powerful project examined the most urgent issue confronting Mexico and Latin America: impunity. Eduardo Castillo and Christopher Sherman used the notorious case of the abduction of 42 students in Iguala, Mexico, as the premise for a larger, more ambitious story about the pain and despair of a society in which 26,000 people have gone missing. The reporters explored a landscape of mafias, violence and corruption with skill, courage and empathy. The comprehensive series painted vivid human portraits: a cartel killer discussing his trade with grim nonchalance; the ordeal of a grandmother and her family in the labyrinth of the kidnapping industry; the dogged, dignified survivors who scour the mountains searching for the clandestine graves of missing loved ones. The result was a moving tale about Mexico’s national nightmare—and a stern indictment of a state that seems alternately complicit, overwhelmed or indifferent.

It lays bare how the quest for profits kept the industry poorly regulated and how ordinary men, women and children across Africa have paid the price. Compelling multimedia storytelling allowed viewers to see and hear directly from these victims and their families, whose voices are rarely heard by the outside world.

      When the world’s attention focused on the devastating spread of Ebola in West Africa, reporters for The New York Times delivered, day after day, foreign correspondence at its best. In a series of powerful stories, Times correspondents captured the crisis in all its dimensions – writing lyrically about the human drama and delivering smartly analytical pieces about the global effort to stop the disease’s spread and where that effort went wrong. They also dug beneath the surface of the unfolding disaster with stories that showed a deep understanding of the continent, writing sensitively about the toll the disease was taking on African cultural traditions such as hand-holding in church and kissing friends and relatives. In the tradition of Hal Boyle, for whom this award is named, Times reporters never shied away from the front lines despite the risk. In one memorable piece, the Times wrote about the death of a star basketball player in Liberia and several generations of a household destroyed. In another, a 4-year-old orphaned by Ebola roams a clinic looking for someone to take her home, another soul adrift.

The reporters’ bravery took us to places we hadn’t seen before.

It offered a seamless shifting of perspective from both sides of the border; empathy shown by reports from, in some cases, the living rooms of the ordinary people caught in the crossfire; and brevity and wit in writing.

      Best TV or video interpretation or documentary on international affairs

      A surprising story that takes the viewer to an unexpected place and introduces unconventional characters. ““Big Men” unpacks a single oil deal, in the Republic of Ghana, and examines it, Rashomon-like, from the points of view of oilmen, venture capitalists, militants, human-rights activists, politicians and citizens of other countries who have endured the same plight. It reveals a farrago of politics, corruption and greed that attends the commercialization of natural resources in developing nations. Deeply reported and compellingly told, this is investigative journalism of the highest order.

      In the best tradition of wartime storytelling, Aikins’s vivid characters offer a truly fresh window into the Syrian conflict. The wisecracking, passionate young men, a volunteer rescue team in Aleppo, remain with us long after reading. In an inspirational and even funny story, Aikins captures the friends’ longings and doubts with astute empathy. Despite intense risks to himself, Aikins keeps himself out of his understated prose, which is enriched by the quiet photographs of Tomada. A reminder that the essence of war lies in these intimate moments, far from the halls of diplomatic power. Aikins is a freelance journalist and Schell Fellow at the Nation Institute.

      Six years after Robert Mugabe brutalized the opposition to win re-election in 2008 as president of Zimbabwe, Bloomberg reporters Cam Simpson and Jesse Westbrook set out to trace a $100 million cash infusion originating from a U.S. hedge fund that helped prop up his dictatorial, financially hard-pressed regime at a crucial moment. In this well-written, diligently researched page-turner, Simpson and Westbrook raised the veil on a series of financial transactions involving the Wall Street hedge fund, bankers and mining companies headquartered in London, shell companies and a rich platinum mining claim in Zimbabwe controlled by the government. Their account shows how global investments can end up in treacherous hands with terrible unintended consequences. Much of the reporting was done from afar after Simpson went to Zimbabwe with a valid visa, only to have government officials there threaten his arrest and force him to flee.

Reuters was the first news organization to document how contracts and money moved through offshore tax havens because it was able to obtain access to confidential bank and travel databases. The corruption extended even to the supply of a Russian rocket to the U.S. space program.

      The Madeline Dane Ross Award goes to the best international reporting in the print medium showing a concern for the human condition. That requirement is impossible to quantify – it must be felt. Of the nearly 40 submissions to this category, “The Ghosts of Rana Plaza” evoked the deepest of feelings, of sympathy for and outrage over the horrendous death of 1,100 workers in Dhaka as a result of a factory collapse on April 24, 2013. The piece renders in heartbreaking detail the humanity of the victims and their would-be rescuers, linking them to all of us through the clothing that Bangladesh produces in vast quantities for the rest of the world. Our cheap jeans come at the cost of their lives. The story was painstakingly reported by Jason Motlagh, movingly photographed by Motlagh and Atish Saha and superbly edited and presented by the Virginia Quarterly Review.

      A stunning example of what good journalism can do to expose labor abuses, “America’s War Workers” is beautifully filmed with unforgettable images and interviews. The team traveled to India and the Middle East and interviewed dozens of workers, providing irrefutable evidence about the exploitation of contract workers on U.S. military bases in Afghanistan. They exposed the intermediaries who charge the poor for menial jobs on U.S military bases and described how the checks put in place by the U.S. government do little to halt the systemic violation of its own laws as well as international conventions on human and labor rights.

      In five lengthy and deeply reported stories, Nick Miroff explored the latest rush for resources across South America and the complex and often devastating impacts that have accompanied the hunt for riches. From the quest for oil in Ecuador to gold mining camps in Peru to palm oil plantations in Colombia, Miroff landed us in one often-forgotten place after another, and did so using elegant and vivid prose. He avoided clichés and offered a contextual depth by framing ethnic rivalries against their political and environmental backgrounds, and showed how the pressures brought by industries have not only caused ecological harm but also exacerbated cultural conflicts. In a contemporary twist on the typical boom story, Miroff demonstrated how drops in commodity prices tend to increase dependence on foreign investment, spur still more development to increase commodity volume, and further environmental degradation.

Reporting from four countries, the Times team provided exceptional context, analysis and details of this immigration crisis. The commitment to the story showed in the quality of the reporting. The first story by Molly Hennessy-Fiske set out the coverage at overwhelmed immigration facilities at the beginning of the crisis.

      Deep reporting, meticulous research, strong writing and the overall craft of assembling data, graphics and photos made The New York Times’s investigative series “Secret Casualties” the hands-down winner for investigative reporting this year. The series established a pattern of secrecy by the U.S. military for hiding from its own soldiers dangerous contamination from chemical munitions. The series peeled away layer after layer of outrage and injustice – from learning that the U.S. actually cooperated closely with Iraqis in producing the weapons to stating flatly that the government was hiding from its own soldiers the illegal weapons that were at the very heart of the reason the nation went to war.

      AP’s Rukmini Callimachi won both the Hal Boyle and Bob Considine awards for her reporting on a trove of al-Qaida documents uncovered in Mali. She is the first reporter ever to win both awards in the same year.

      At great personal risk, Callimachi traversed a desert route through Mali, alone and with militants close behind her, to uncover one of the most significant troves of al-Qaida documents ever made public. Her sly, witty and sharply observed accounts of al Qaida’s operation, goals and mindset — from penny-pinching to public stonings — shed light on an organization that, despite more than a decade of war, remains largely opaque. From one of the most dangerous places on earth, she gave voice to civilians crushed under jihadist rule and followed in the footsteps of fighters at the scene of the biggest battle against al-Qaida in years.

      AP’s Rukmini Callimachi won both the Hal Boyle and Bob Considine awards for her reporting on a trove of al-Qaida documents uncovered in Mali. She is the first reporter ever to win both awards in the same year.

      Callimachi captured the chaotic aftermath of the takeover of Timbuktu by al-Qaida fighters. The thousands of pages of documents she found strewn in 10 buildings, formerly occupied by the fighters, led her on a painstaking journey of verification, and it resulted in stories that painted a fascinating portrait of al-Qaida’s presence in Africa. Her work —courageous, resourceful, persistent and sensitive—resonated with the authority of a reporter who understood the people and history of Timbuktu. In particular, she vividly captured what came in the wake of al-Qaida’s departure—a brutal, opportunistic mission by Mali’s military to target light-skinned Arabs and Tuaregs who looked like the vanquished invaders. She documented the efforts of family members to find the remains of the victims, and her elegant first-person piece was a model of the form, reported without fear and written with restraint.

Through interviews with donors, recipients, go-betweens, doctors and prosecutors from North America to Israel and Eastern Europe to the Philippines, the filmmakers provide a rare look at how an illegally acquired kidney reaches a sick person and how both desperation and good will drive the trade.

      The judges were impressed by Reuters’ ability to piece together how Iran’s top religious cleric, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Knamenei, had amassed a financial empire worth $95 billion, rivaling the wealth of the late Shah. In a three-part series, Stecklow and colleagues drew a devastating portrait of how Khamenei had secured a position in nearly every sector of lran’s economy through a little-known agency called Setad. Reuters took major risks in investigating the ayatollah. In retaliation, the regime revoked its press credentials, forcing agency to close its Tehran Bureau.”

This compelling and beautifully filmed Frontline documentary follows 13-year-old Kainat and her family over a period of years as she tries—and fails—to bring to justice the men who allegedly gang-raped her. In the process, the reporters spotlight conditions for women, abuses under Islamic law and serious police failings. Frontline and the filmmakers give the full picture of what a nightmare it is to bring a rape case in Pakistan.

He went down the supply chain to write about migration, the tactics of recruiters and life in the Himalayan villages that supplied the bonded labor to Apple’s subcontractors. Simpson also questioned the contractors and Apple about their practices. His eye for detail made the story compelling. Weeks after reading it we still remember the images of the stranded workers in Malaysia forced to eat rice flakes after their contracts were abruptly terminated, then returning home still in debt to the brokers who had sold them the right to jobs at the factories of Apple’s supplier.

The Times demonstrated its commitment to the project with excellent video production, an interactive web presentation and prominent placement in print that elevated the overall effort.

His ability to weave cultural and political context into his reporting helps readers better appreciate the events he covered, be it from Venezuela, where his obituary of Hugo Chavez cast a spotlight on the state of the revolution he created; Argentina, for stories on its native son, the new pope; and even tiny Uruguay, to profile the president and his austere lifestyle.

      Best investigative reporting in any medium on an international story

      Secrecy for Sale” is a ground-breaking project in the digital age. It is a true tour de force in which a very large team came together to assess, report and analyze a massive trove of data about a secret world of off shore accounts hidden from the eyes of governments and citizens. Villains were named and shamed, while the underworld in which they thrived was revealed and explained with precision and depth. The project was accomplished through the effective management of many editorial partnerships and Gerard Ryle deserves enormous credit for pulling together the whole team so effectively.

      Wolf is not afraid to express a sharp point of view, thoroughly backed up with fact. His depth of knowledge on politics, economics and environmental issues is striking, and it gives his writing a calm authority. His tone is pragmatic in the best way—firm but not strident, convincing but never shrill. And he does more than criticize—he also offers well-thought-out solutions.

      Award Honored Work: A Murder Shakes China

      Best newspaper, news service or online interpretation of international affairs

      In this extraordinary series of articles, Jeremy Page not only connected the dots behind the mysterious death of a British businessman, but provided startling glimpses into the life of one of China’s leading Communist Party bosses before he was fired in disgrace, as well as a look at the privileged lifestyles enjoyed by at least some corrupt politicians in today’s China.

      The stories are notable for depth of reporting, an even presentation of the evidence, and a balanced tone. Nevertheless, taken together, they form a damning case that the wife of Chongqing party leader Bo Xilai may have poisoned businessman and family adviser Neil Heywood, a crime for which she was ultimately convicted. Aside from exposing the political scandal of the year in China, Page interprets the events in light of the power struggles taking place in the country just prior to its once-in-a-decade transfer of leadership.

In 2012 the discovery of a father, still alive, and his son Oscar Ramirez, an undocumented worker in the U.S., each of whom assumed the other dead in the tragedy, prompted reporter Nosheen and producer Reed to devote five months to researching the story, finding victims and perpetrators. As a result, Ramirez was granted political asylum in the U.S. and several implicated soldiers have been apprehended for trial.

      CNN’s harrowing reporting from Damascus represents true bravery in the face of danger.

Their work provides an all too important voice to those who have been oppressed and have survived some of the most horrific conditions of war, all the while putting their own personal safety at risk.

      “When small communities abandon their languages and switch to English or Spanish, there is a massive disruption in the transfer of traditional knowledge across generations,” writes Russ Rymer in this subtle and moving investigation of the centuries-long decimation of tribal languages. From the 2,000 speakers of the Aka language in India to the Seri speakers of Mexico’s Sonoran Desert, who are bringing the language back after it dwindled to 1,000 speakers, to the growing number of Tuvan speakers in Siberia, Rymer’s report gives us a broad look across multiple cultures about the ongoing rescue of the world’s dying languages.

The fact that The New York Times placed all four parts of the series on its front page helped change the world’s debate about the structure of power and wealth in China. Barboza and the newspaper took large risks in exposing the wealth that China’s top families have accumulated. The Times later reported that Chinese hackers persistently attacked the publication’s computer systems during the reporting for this series.

      Najibullah Quraishi’s reporting in Opium Brides stood out for its exploration of a dangerous, hidden world to reveal a human tragedy: young Afghan girls traded by their opium poppy growing families to pay debts to international drug lords. The subject matter is intrinsically important, highlighting the plight of Afghan farming families caught between drug traffickers who finance their crops and government officials bent on poppy eradication. But what set the entry apart was the way it ventured into the remote Afghan countryside to show the plight of individual families and their children, as they weighed up the demands of the traffickers and then succumbed to them. Brave, beautifully shot and paced, this entry was sensitive in its handling of a tragic human dilemma and harrowing in its impact.

      Best international reporting in any medium dealing with human rights

      “Finding Oscar” is a magnificent journalistic collaboration documenting how prosecutors, forensic anthropologists and human rights activists persevered for 30 years in their quest for justice against the perpetrators of a 1982 massacre in Guatemala. The story begins with the compelling account of a 2011 phone call to Oscar Ramirez, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant living in Massachusetts, from a prosecutor back home, informing him that he isn’t who he thinks he is. What follows, in both written and radio formats, takes us back in time to Dos Erres, a Guatemalan town whose 250 residents were killed by soldiers three decades ago. Oscar, it turns out, was one of two survivors, abducted at the age of three by the commander of the army squad that murdered his family, and he is now evidence of government complicity in the massacre. Recently several soldiers involved in the raid were convicted and the former Guatemalan President Efrain Rios Montt was indicted on charges of genocide.

      We chose to honor the powerful National Geographic piece, Rhino Wars by Peter Gwin, with amazing photographs by Brent Stirton. The topic was enterprising and fresh (of the 3 submissions on African animals killed for horns, it was the earliest piece by quite a few months, with other media following suit). Finally, from an impact point of view, it helped lead to some of the worst South African rhino killers facing long jail terms, one rhino poaching kingpin getting 40 years.

      Award Honored Work: Honduras

      Best reporting in any medium on Latin America

      One of the most violent countries in the world receives scant media coverage. But Alberto Arce of the Associated Press has displayed a combination of courage, strong reporting and a flair for writing to explain life in Honduras – how this is a country where gangs extort cash from homeowners, where inmates rule its deadly prisons and where the charities of political candidates give away free coffins. Honduras is struggling to maintain political stability three years after its former president was run out of office at gunpoint. Arce goes beyond the standard wire service reporting. His “Letter from Honduras” colorfully recounts difficult life inside the impoverished and dangerous Central American nation. Readers are lured into one story on a father’s quest for justice after his son was killed, allegedly by military officers, with the following lead: “In a capital so dangerous that only the “walking dead” are said to venture out after dark, nothing could draw an obedient son from the safety of his parents’ suburban home into the deserted night. Nothing, that is, but a girl.”

      Through painstaking analysis of the families of Xi Jinping and the so-called “Eight Immortals” and ingenious scrutiny of regulatory filings to trace holding companies to these families, the reporters were able to demonstrate for the first time how China’s elite have used political influence for enormous personal gain. In the process, they have fundamentally changed our understanding of the Chinese state.

      David Ignatius’s insightful writing about the Middle East, informed by his original reporting, was refreshing and illuminating. The judges were especially impressed by his brave visits inside Syria to see first-hand the struggles of the rebel movement. Ignatius’s “48 hours in Syria” is not only a compelling narrative about the rebels, but also an impassioned argument for more direct US support, which might prevent Islamic fundamentalists from gaining an upper hand should Assad fall. “The shower of cash and weapons coming from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other Arab nations is helping extremist fighters and undercutting any orderly chain of command through the Free Syrian Army,” he warns. In another column, Ignatius reports first hand from Syria on the growing influence of an Al Qaeda-affiliated group. Whether writing about Syria, Egypt or Lebanon, Ignatius provides a level-headed view of the world, while uncovering new information that enhances our understanding. As one judge said, this columnist is “an expert guide” for navigating a complex world full of characters whose motives may be anything but obvious.

      Award Honored Work: "War Reports from Libya and Afghanistan"

      Best newspaper or news service reporting from abroad

      In a year of momentous events and in a category filled with outstanding entries, the stories by Chris Chivers of The New York Times from Libya and Afghanistan stood out as war reporting at its best. His superb and evocative dispatches explained why the Afghanistan war has become so difficult for the U.S., strategically, tactically and politically. Chivers’ war coverage was a remarkable blend of cool, analytical reporting and impassioned first-hand accounts of the suffering experienced by the victims. In January, his story from Afghanistan about the improved survival rates of wounded U.S. soldiers showed, with impressive documentation, an important trend in the waging of war. Later in the year, his story about the civilian victims in Libya belied assurances by NATO that its seven-month air campaign was without unintended casualties. Tough, cool and brave: these were the hallmarks of Chivers’ great reporting in 2011.

These searing images are a first rate example of close quarters combat photography obtained at great personal risk. Rarely do we see photos taken so deep in the fog of war, serving, as they do, to shine a bright light on the horrors and consequences of combat.

      By entering Japan’s closed-off nuclear exclusion zone, Guttenfelder shows us ghost towns abandoned by people fleeing the invisible but very real hazards of radioactivity. Feral dogs roam the deserted streets and unmade beds lie as they were when people hastily evacuated their communities. On the flip side he takes us to intimate scenes in makeshift shelters, where despite their predicament, the evacuees cling to their dignity while attempting to normalize their lives.

      Muller took an original approach to documenting a sensitive and difficult story, rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Opening with anonymous but effective portraits of the victims, and then taking us through the makeshift trials that eventually led to convictions and justice for the victims, Muller illuminates a very dark side of human behavior. The glee and satisfaction reflected on the faces of the public after the verdicts were announced is a remarkable and positive ending to at least a part of an endemic abuse of women’s rights.

She was the only journalist to talk to these doomed leaders as their regimes were being torn apart. Because Amanpour has been covering the Middle East for two decades, her depth of understanding of the region enabled her to truly capture these historic times in her compelling reports — both as a witness and especially as an interviewer.

      If the first victim of war is the truth, the second is women and children. The five-part series “Women, War & Peace” chronicles, in searing fashion, the victimization of women and their struggle to fight back in the wake of the most severe violence and depredation. In Liberia, women fed up with killing and destruction join hands and bring war-makers to heel. Watch as their nonviolent protests catch on throughout the region. In Afghanistan, women insist on being part of the peace process. Watch as their courageous stand changes the equation in their war-torn land. In Colombia, they clamor to draw attention to a forgotten guerilla conflict. Watch as their years-long struggle gets the headlines it deserves. And in Bosnia, women bear witness to systematic sexual assault. Watch as awareness of rape as a tool of war spreads throughout the world. After “Women, War & Peace,” viewers will never forget women’s role in global conflict.

      Best cartoons on international affairs

      Chappatte deftly captures the essence of compelling issues. He travels to troubled areas around the world using his reportorial, drawing and photography skills to present, in a glance, the terrors of Gaza, the slums of Nairobi or the uprisings in Tunisia. His subtle visual expression seduces rather than shouts.

      Award Honored Work: "Censorship Inc."

      Best international business news reporting in newspapers

      The Journal ran a series of articles over the course of almost a year that described how Iran, Egypt, Libya and Syria used technology from Western and Chinese companies to break through Skype’s encryption features to spy on dissidents, track mobile phone users, conduct surveillance of them, and censor web activity and satellite television broadcasts. Protesters were using high-tech tools to rally support, but their governments were also secretly using technology to stop them. The series raised disturbing questions about whether U.S. and European firms have a responsibility to keep their technology out of the wrong hands and whether Western governments can prevent Chinese companies from rushing in to assist such countries as Iran.

      Award Honored Work: "New Oriental Cracks the SAT Code"

      Best international business news reporting in magazines

      This quintessential reporting by Daniel Golden began with a rumor that a Chinese company had “cracked the code” of SAT exams and was profiting by training thousands of students to score far higher on verbal tests than their language skills would ordinarily merit. Chatting on a Washington to Boston flight with two U.S. college admission counselors who had just returned from China, Golden picked up that tip and chased it across China. His exclusive story, built on first person interviews, detailed reporting and analysis, casts doubt on the integrity of the U.S. college-testing process and raises the question of whether the odds of college admission acceptances are being unfairly altered for countless students.

      Robin Wright’s book captures a pivotal moment in history with superb on the ground reporting across the Middle East that reflects her decades of experience covering the region. In interviews and observations, Wright shows journalistic enterprise and a comprehensive command of the tumult in today’s Islamic world. The book challenges conventional wisdom about the incompatibility of Islam and democracy profiling the reformers Wright says will lead the Middle East away from extremism. With vivid portraits, the book describes the events of the Arab Spring as examples of a regional “counter-jihad” fought by young Muslims who constitute a majority in the Islamic world.

The prose was spare but evocative, the individual tales compelling, and the overall message a global one: confronted with unimagined disaster, the human response is to find a way to press on.

      Every 90 seconds somewhere in the world a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth; 80% of these deaths are preventable. The program focused on nations with the worst history and how the powerful drive of women is bringing hope and help. The team traveled from Afghanistan to Sierra Leone, Bangladesh and elsewhere, filming the efforts of NGOs and doctors to train volunteers to use cell phones to communicate with doctors during pregnancies and to deliver babies hygienically in primitive homes. It cited how well-known model Christy Turlington, who almost died in childbirth in the U.S., used her fame to make a documentary to raise awareness and money for the medications that saved her life. The judges credit the program additionally for its success in moving viewers to contribute interactively to a number of organizations dedicated to health improvement worldwide.

Stillman’s outstanding piece of investigative journalism uncovers serious abuses, including sexual assault and indentured servitude, that were ultimately carried out on behalf of the U.S. government and funded by American taxpayers.

Whether illuminating Japan’s history with nuclear power or coping with the hard science of meltdowns or radioactive fallout, Osnos showed real depth as well as flair for clear, concise and compelling language.

      This documentary, one part of a five-part series, offers a fascinating first-hand look into the resurgence of violence in rural Colombia, and the ways in which two charismatic Afro-Colombian female leaders are heading up efforts to maintain control of the land and the communities’ destiny. The film’s beautiful and timely depictions of these leaders, and their struggles in the resource-rich southeastern mountains, show us how the origins of the country’s nearly 50-year old civil war remain firmly a part of its landscape. With grace and subtlety, the filmmakers also illustrate the important role of women in times of conflict.

      Spurred on by revolutionary activity in Tunisia and Egypt, protests in Libya against that country’s dictator Muammar Gadhafi began in February 2011 and ultimately resulted in the leader’s capture and death on October 20, 2011, at the hands of rebels. GlobalPost’s “The Libyan Rebellion” distinguishes itself in its coverage by providing up-to-the-minute reporting on the ground from Sirte where Gadhafi was captured, including eyewitness accounts and video exclusively obtained of that capture and torture. Some of this video later led to a U.N. inquiry of the dictator’s demise.

The judges were impressed by this illuminating account of how banks took advantage of gaps in two countries’ tax laws and how the U.S. government lost billions in the process. The four-part series also delved into how a simple rule change, meant by the U.S. treasury, to cut paperwork turned into one of the biggest international tax breaks around. Interactive graphics and charts made this four-part series even more compelling.

      Excellence in original video on an international topic created specifically for a news website

      Released to coincide with the Fall 2011 issue of VQR, Maisie Crow's original short film introduces us to the city of Slavutych and its residents &mdash survivors of the Chernobyl disaster and the workers still dismantling the plant.

      Originally assigned to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl, Crow’s video re-examines the fallout from one of history’s worst man-made disasters. “Half-Lives” artfully disentangles the connections between the power plant, the cities that were purpose-built to support it and the workers whose lives will be forever affected by it. In the aftermath of last year’s tsunami and nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Crow’s film is especially haunting. The judges were impressed by the intimacy of the video’s interviews, the smart use of archival footage and the elegant use of still photography. The cinema-quality production values that Crow achieved are rarely seen in video produced for the web. She has elevated the standard for online video.

In this rich body of work, Chandrasekaran and Partlow captured the tragedy of Afghanistan’s war.

Their stories of beatings, chicanery and intimidation, sickening in their details, opened eyes and led at least one company, Microsoft, to change the way it does business in the country. “Above the Law” soared.

The series—which maximized the impact of the stories using multimedia and a Q&A with reporter Sheri Fink—should be required listening in the US, as the debate rages on over health care solutions.

      In this series of three reports from Afghanistan by NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel and his long-time cameraman Bedun Edwards, the toll of war is poignantly illustrated through the eyes of one soldier, Sgt. Louis Loftus, 22, from Akron, Ohio, who spoke with unusual candor about the trauma of battle. The riveting footage of the ferocious surprise attack by the Taliban against the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division coupled with the post-gunfight interview and homecoming of Sgt. Loftus demonstrate Engel’s unique ability to capture the moment and to bring the audience to the battlefield, even if it means putting his own life in danger.

      Powerful and evocative treatments of the two poles of the Middle East — simmering crises that represent unfinished business of these flashpoints of global conflict. In “Unfinished Business,” Lesley Stahl and producer Richard Bonin examine shattered lives that American forces left behind when they withdrew from Iraq, while uncovering the underside of the economic structures that support this would-be nation, including illicit trade in oil products with Iran. “In City of David,” Stahl teams with producer Shachar Bar-On for a microcosmic look at the issues plaguing the Israel-Palestine conflict. Vivid and insightful writing illuminates the profound tensions underlying an architectural dig to uncover a palace that may (or may not) have belonged to King David, but which today lies beneath a sprawling Palestinian neighborhood called Silwan.

The judges found the care and intelligence of her work a thrill to read.

In so doing, they captured what appears to have been a decisive shift in the business climate in what is now the world’s second largest economy.

      In a world focused on China’s rapid transformation into a global economic powerhouse, it’s rare to hear about how that change affects the lives of ordinary Chinese, and rarer still to have those lives revealed in the kind of detail that Tom Lasseter captures in this series of articles. Often in the face of official harassment, Lasseter uses detailed interviews, records and official reports to delve deeply into the frustrations, deprivations and official indifference that rule his subjects’ lives. In the millions of words written about China, these tales stand out because they make you care about the people they are written about.

      Good Fortune is an insightful look at the everyday life of average people in Kenya, presented against the backdrop of globalization and western notions of progress. It is compelling, breathtaking, moving, and it challenges conventional wisdom about what people in poor countries need from the world outside their own. It allows one woman to be representative of a culture, and treats her eloquent criticism of the failures of international aid in Africa with the kind of respect normally reserved for the suppliers of that aid.

      For more than 550 illegal immigrants seeking work in America, crossing the border ended in death in the “The All-American Canal,” a moat on the U.S. border with Mexico. “60 Minutes” exposes this silent carnage, unknown to most Americans and even to the families of the dead, who often never learn their loved one died in the canal’s chilly, fast-moving currents. Correspondent Scott Pelley and producer Shawn Efran deftly show how the canal provides agricultural water for U.S. winter produce, but claims the lives of many trying to cross it in pursuit of a farming job. Because of the publicity caused by the report, officials are installing safety escape lines, potentially saving hundreds of migrants who might otherwise perish in their search for the American dream.

      Best reporting in any medium on international environmental issues

      This outstanding effort by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists exhaustively documents the corruption and collusion behind the systematic, global devastation of the blue-fin tuna — and by extension the world’s many endangered marine species. The multimedia project is magnificently presented and involved a team of reporters spanning 10 countries. It opened eyes around the world, led to changes in industry and regulatory practice, and could stand as a new model for investigative journalism in a time of media transition.

      Powerful reporting and writing that reveals the extent to which drug cartels have penetrated Mexican society, virtually conquering entire towns and regions. William Finnegan and The New Yorker provide an impressive and comprehensive account of La Familia’s rise to power in Michoacan state, at the same time illustrating and explaining the ruthless rivalries between the country’s gangs. Finnegan tackles a very dangerous story and delivers insightful and well-researched reporting that traces, for the first time, the philosophical roots of one of Mexico’s most vicious and bizarre drug cult groups.

      In a competitive category, the judges were impressed by the scope and breadth of ProPublica’s masterful reporting project, which explores the ongoing tension between President Obama’s professed desire to shut Guantanamo Bay and the reality of governance. ProPublica vividly illustrates the power of new media by exposing online their original source material and databases for all to see. Particularly impressive are the online tools that allow readers to compare the public and secret versions of the same legal documents and to view material deleted and added from official papers – allowing readers to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

The presentation uses numbered tabs to guide the reader through a detailed history of the region. For the casual reader it is easy to drop in and sample bits and pieces of the content without feeling lost or dependent on knowing a previous section’s contents.

      After U.S. prosecutors won a guilty plea from an American who helped plot the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, the case slipped from public view. Sebastian Rotella, a veteran foreign correspondent, knew there was more to the case. In a series of articles that took him around the world, he discovered that Pakistan’s intelligence service collaborated with the Laskar-e-Taiba terrorist group in the attack. With the help of secret documents, and exclusive interviews with people close to the terrorists, Rotella found that the plotters were still at large and that the U.S. had been slow to recognize the threat posed by the bomber despite repeated intelligence inquiries.

      “Contradictions in Pakistan,” a series of videos by Adam B. Ellick, provides a riveting look at life in modern Pakistan. Judges were particularly taken with the story of a troupe of transgender tax collectors, who go door to door in an attempt to get delinquent residents to pay their taxes. (The government hopes that by using them, they can embarrass people into paying up.) Another story, about young women who dare to work in fast-food chains despite threats and slaps from their families, gives a very personal glimpse into a world where women are expected to stay at home and never interact with members of the opposite sex. Ellick captured their personal stories with grace.

      The three commentaries that make up this entry are unexpected and provocative. Just by choosing their subjects, the authors are commenting on otherwise overlooked issues in overlooked corners of the world. But above all, they are all gripping reads. Stephanie Giry’s account of a Cambodian war-crimes trial is a portrait of a 8-year-old killer who retains his chilling powers. Malise Ruthven’s idiosyncratic reporting on latrines in Delhi says far more about India than most political reports. And Christian Caryl really does show how “WikiLeaks changes everything.”

      Award Honored Work: P.O.W. Special, featuring Ramsey Clark tapes made in North Vietnam.

      The subject was a two-hour meeting on August 16, 1972, between former U.S. Attorney General Ramey Clark and a group of 10 P.O.W.’s in North Vietnam. There have been numerous interviews with American prisoners of war, on both radio and TV, but rarely have they involved a discussion as natural-and as newsworthy-as this documentary report. The interviews showed the men to be unusually articulate, animated, and astonishingly aware of the military and political situation, both in Vietnam and in the United States. They expressed their surprise at the kind of treatment received at the time of their capture-and since. (Excellent, particularly the medical care).

      They talked of the mail situation (good as far as packages, poor for letters). They discussed the books they read ; the exercise they got, and their sports and leisure time activities. Then the P.O.W.’s
      reversed the roles, and interviewees questioned the interviewer. About the bombing, the morale back home, the health of Governor George Wallace, the Eagleton affair, and about what their position
      would be, once they were released. Commentators characterized the episode as ~in example of perceptive programming, and a terse-and timely-24 minutes with the least-forgotten prisoners of war in history.

      Harrison E. Salisbury of The New York Times was selected for his exclusive North Vietnam series, appearing in December 1966. The judges cited Salisbury “for the enterprise to get the story, the courage to write it, and the guts to face up to bombs bursting in hot air.”

      Salisbury, 58, an assistant managing editor of The Times, won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting from Russia in 1955, the George Polk Memorial Award in 1957, and the Sigma Delta Chi award in 1958.

      A native of Minneapolis, Salisbury began his newspaper career with The Minneapolis Journal. He switched to the United Press in St. Paul in 1930, worked for UP in Chicago, New York, London and Moscow. He became the Times’ Moscow correspondent in 1949.

      Salisbury is the author of several books on Russia, one on juvenile delinquency, and a novel.

      Award Date: 1966

      Award Name: Best Magazine Interpretation of Foreign Affairs 1966

      Award Recipient: Eric Sevareid

      Award Recipient Affiliation: Look/CBS News

      Award Honored Work: Why Our Foreign Policy Is Failing

      Eric Sevareid’s Look article, “Why Our Foreign Policy is Failing,” was selected for its “illuminating insight.”

      The article, based on an exclusive interview with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Fulbright, was widely quoted. It proves, in the opinion of the judges, “that not only the ‘instant communications’ media can provide timely commentary on events of the hour.”

      Veteran commentator Sevareid, national correspondent for CBS news, has been with the network since 1939.

      In the first of numerous foreign assignments for CBS, Sevareid scored what has been called a “gigantic scoop,” as the first newsmen to report that France was about to capitulate to Germany. After
      the fall of France, he went to London, continuing to broadcast from there until October, 1940, when he was assigned to Washington.

      In May, 1965, he once again turned war correspondent, reporting from Santo Domingo. That summer he went to London, where he had a lengthy conversation with Adlai Stevenson two days before the
      latter’s death.

      An article based on the conversation, “The Final Troubled Hours of Adlai Stevenson, “appeared in Look. The New York Newspaper Guild gave Sevareid its Page One award, citing the articles “excellent writing” and “its terrific impact on United States and the world.”

      Sevareid has captured many journalistic awards in his career. In 1950 and 1964, he received the George Foster Peabody award for his interpretation of the news. He has also received, among other honors, an Overseas Press Club award; the George Polk Memorial Award; the National Headlines Award.

      This is Howard K. Smith’s third OPC award for interpreting the news; he has also won four OPC awards for his top reporting from abroad. The judges selected the ABC news commentator for his “analytical reports from Vietnam.”

      Smith, 52, commentator on ABC’s Peter Jennings television newscast and anchorman on the weekly “ABC Scope: The Vietnam War” series, has been in radio and television for more than a quarter of a century. Before joining ABC in 1961, he was with CBS for 20 years.

      A Rhodes Scholar, Smith began his news career with United Press in London in 1939, moved to Copenhagen and Berlin, where he joined CBS in 1941. He was expelled from Germany, covered occupied Europe from Switzerland until 1944, when he moved to Paris. He then covered the Allied sweep through Belgium, Holland and Germany. He was in Marshall Zhoukov’s headquarters the day the
      Germans surrendered. In 1946, he covered the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

      His major CBS projects included “CBS Reports,”  “Face the Nation,” “Eyewitness to History,” and “The Greatest Challenge.” He won an Emmy for “CBS Reports: The Population Explosion.”

      He was born in Ferriday, LA.

      Award Honored Work:

      Kyoichi Sawada of United Press International has covered more than 50 campaigns and battles in Vietnam. He has earned a Pulitzer Prize and two top OPC awards in two successive years.

      He was so eager to go to Vietnam that he visited the war zone during a vacation from his regular UPI job in Tokyo – and stayed for two-month combat zone assignment. A few weeks later he was reassigned to cover the war.

      The awards committee calls his pictures “powerful, direct images of the war.” His own explanation for the hard-hitting quality of his pictures: “I wanted to find out the real things that are happening in Vietnam.”

      Sawada, 30, has been taking pictures since he was 13, when he bought a box camera for $1.65, earned delivering newspapers in his hometown of Aomori in northern Japan. By the time he was 20 he had his own photography concession at a U.S. airbase where he learned to speak English.

      Ron Nessen and his cameramen Vo Huynh and You Young Sang won this award for reel two of their “Plain of Reeds” report from Vietnam. The judges called it an outstanding achievement born of courage
      and illuminating reporting…

      “It encompassed many of the bewildering phases… From the civil war-type struggle in which South Vietnamese units shoot it out with other South Vietnamese forces – both equipped with American arms – to the great feats of endurance and valor of our fighting men in the battles of the Plain of Reeds…”

      Newsman Nessen, 32, was wounded while doing this job. He was traveling with a patrol of the 101st Airborne Division when he was struck in the chest by fragments of the Vietcong hand grenade. You Young Sang, 33, now an NBC news cameraman in Tokyo, was born in Korea. Vo Huynh, 35, a Vietnamese, has been an NBC news cameraman since 1961.

      Award Honored Work: Indonesia's Night of Terror

      He is one of the most prolific of writers and has specialized on travel–approximately 100,000 miles a year–on all continents. He has seven books in print, and another and work. But Horace Sutton has been
      honored in category 14 for a different type of journalism – what the judges proclaimed as “a superb job of analytical reporting,” his Saturday Review article on “Indonesia’s Night of Terror.” Sponsored by The Asia Magazine, the competition is intended to stimulate more and finer reporting on and about that area. A check for $500 accompanies the award.

      The New York Sun and New York Post were Horace Sutton’s initial introduction to the news world, after he emerged from University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University, in 1938. His facility with words and his penchant for far places began to blend into one of the pleasanter forms of careers about 1947, when he originated the travel section of the Saturday Review. By 1961 he was associate editor of the magazine.

      Eventually through a weekly travel column, “Of All Places,” distributed through the Hall Syndicate, he was
      reaching more than 10 million readers with his alluring accounts of the wonders to be glimpsed in areas with exotic names, the colorful characters to be encountered. His report on Indonesia is adequate demonstration his observations have been considerably more than superficial, as he roams. As a recent date he
      has become less mobile, being once more established in New York in a triple post as Associate Editor of Saturday Review; Associate Editor of McCall’s, a syndicated newspaper columnist. It is unlikely, however that Sutton’s travel days are at an end.

      Khalil Hamra’s pictures of the Israeli military incursion into Gaza showed exceptional courage and enterprise by a committed local photographer during a sustained and dangerous conflict. His images are close up, powerful and direct and taken at considerable risk due to the nature of the conflict which had combatants mingling amongst the civilian population. Hamra’s personal circumstances are equally compelling: he covered the conflict in spite of concerns about the welfare of his wife, then pregnant with twins.

Zavala worked hard to gain access to the paramilitary groups allegedly responsible for extrajudicial killings; once his work was complete he left the country ahead of publication because he feared deadly retaliation if he remained in Venezuela.

David Burnett is honored for the historically significant and unforgettable images from the Iranian Revolution in his book “44 Days: Iran and the Remaking of the World.” The 1978/79 photographs documenting the fall of the Shah and the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini have taken on new relevance in light of the current political situation in Iran. Burnett’s imagery brings back to life the drama of the revolution and the complexities of this important story.

      Voisin’s raw and direct visual investigation of the violent and complex drug war in Mexico offers us important insights into the horrifying violence there. Her images leave very little to the imagination; her use of color is extremely effective, and her navigation of the crime scenes and daily lives of Mexican communities ravaged by drugs and gangs are a tribute to her tenacity and courage.

His images are timeless but immediate.

      Best radio news or interpretation of international affairs

      Soraya Nelson’s original and poignant stories about the lives of the Afghan people demonstrate her enterprise and ability to penetrate a complicated society, especially since she was a woman working in a traditional male-dominated society. Even drug abuse is segregated by sex. We hear the cigarette lighters heating the heroin in foil. We feel the utter desperation of a mother who sends one of six children out to find her daily drug dose. Nelson embedded with both Afghan and American forces to tell the military story. But mostly she used her fluency in the language and her compassion for the people she met to make her listeners take notice and care about the people caught in a seemingly endless war.

      In a category with several excellent entries, two stood above the rest this year, and “The Battle of Wanat” by the staff of the CBS Evening News took our top honors in a split decision. In a beautifully crafted and well reported piece, CBS Correspondent David Martin delves into the circumstances of a deadly ambush suffered by U.S. troops in the exposed Afghan valley of Wanat, where U.S. military tactics came under Army investigation following the deaths of nine soldiers. The exclusively obtained video, interviews with survivors and parents of those killed, and documentary evidence obtained by CBS News exposed the challenges and pitfalls of fighting a guerrilla war in far-flung villages.

As the U.S. president’s deployment of additional troops took the conflict to a new level, the producers of Frontline show us, village by Afghan village, the challenges—and sometime hopelessness—of the process of nation-building. The production shows us not only that there is no quick fix, but offers a look at just what the consequences of failure might be.

      Michael Lewis writes a richly reported and engaging account of the bursting of Iceland’s financial bubble. Lewis calls Iceland’s experiment with hedge funds and other Wall Street-inspired financial engineering instruments “one of the single greatest acts of madness in financial history.” The country’s economy traditionally was based on fishing, aluminum and geothermal energy. When men who had worked on fishing boats put down their rods and took up banking overnight, they set the stage for the economy’s ultimate collapse.

      In the classic combat reporting tradition of Ernie Pyle, Michael Herr and Dexter Filkins, Pulitzer Prize winner David Finkel has written a harrowing account of one U.S. Army battalion’s experience of the surge, that desperate last-minute effort to win the war in Iraq.

      The Washington Post’s Finkel spent eight months with the 800 men and women of the 2-16, as the battalion was called. He went on patrols, ate in the mess, met General Petraeus, entered the houses of terrified civilians, and saw up front the handiwork of war – men cut in half, soldiers medicated to the max so they could continue the mission, Iraqi infants wounded beyond repair. What comes through is the courage and decency of American troops, the strength of the Iraqi people, and a deep abiding sense of sorrow and loss.

      In a world where the 24/7 media seems omnipresent, Abigail Haworth clearly went where no one else thought to go. In “Forced to be Fat”, she investigates leblouh, the Mauritanian practice of force-feeding young women to give them the rolls of flesh that men consider a sign of beauty. Reluctant teens are threatened with beating if they refuse to eat the oily food served to them at special camps; those who vomit are forced to eat that too. Haworth’s riveting, well-sourced and fascinating story brought to light not only the human condition of women in Mauritania, but also the broader issue of those in societies where absolute power can be used for better or worse.

The understated normalcy of this documentary illustrates humankind’s capacity for reconciliation and renewal.

His cover feature based on his incarceration tells of his harrowing experience in Evin prison, long known for torture of political prisoners, executions, and forced confessions. Bahari’s piece breaks down how Evin prison operates, the paranoid framework of the hardliners now in charge in Iran, and how international pressure on the regime actually does work. Even as he is forced to make a false confession, Bahari writes with humor and insight, giving the world an accessible portrait of Iran’s leaders, people and future. His courageous and eloquent reporting helps Iran’s struggle come alive.

Anderson’s reporting combines vivid details and superb portraits of a society that has become deeply corrupted in the face of almost unstoppable violence.

If not for this thoroughly reported and well-written series, the true plight of the civilian contractors who have been injured or killed in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan may not have come to light. Working alongside troops, these contractors drove trucks with fuel and ammunition through battle zones. And yet once these civilians returned home, they found getting appropriate medical care and insurance benefits difficult or impossible.

      The Mary Hemingway Award for the best magazine reporting from abroad

      “The Colombia Connection: Billions in Pot and Coke” was Time’s best-sell- ing cover in 1979. The story sought to alert the public to the thriving drug traffic from south of the border. Get- ting the story meant treetop flights in small planes, being shot at, contacts with shady informants, interviews with government officials and narcotics agents. Correspondent Walter Isaacson, now in Time’s Washington bureau, graduated from Harvard University in 1974, was a Rhodes Scholar, and has worked as a reporter for London’s Sunday Times. Correspondent Donald Neff joined Time in 1965 and has served in Vietnam and as bureau chief in Houston, Los Angeles, Jerusalem and New York. He is now editor of Time-Life News Services.

      Dickey’s story, with grace and clarity, provides a fresh, concise perspective on the persistent and complex phenomenon of organized assassination that has become central to the turmoil in Central America.

      Eye-witness accounts and personal interviews skillfully interwoven with historical background deftly illuminate the dilemmas inherent in American policy makers’ efforts to comprehend and cope with the volcanic social, economic and political forces at work.

      Dickey, for the past three years Washington Post Mexico bureau chief covering the Caribbean, is now on an Edward R. Murrow fellowship.

      Best newspaper or news service reporting from abroad

      The Los Angeles Times dispatched reporters to cities in Mexico most affected by drug war violence such as Tijuana, Monterrey, Juarez and Culiacan. They combined this high-risk news gathering with solid reporting from across the United States, showing the extent of Mexican gang penetration into American cities. They also reported on refugees from Mexico’s violence moving into California communities. The result was a seamless melding of foreign, national and local reporting into a compelling tale of Mexico’s drug wars. This coverage through 2008 helped set the stage for the debate today in the highest U.S. governmental and political circles about how to respond to a Mexico under siege.

      Award Recipient Affiliation: The Washington Post

      Award Honored Work: "Iraq: The Inheritors"

      Best newspaper or news service interpretation of international affairs

      In “Iraq: The Inheritors” Sudarsan Raghavan profiles a cross section of Iraqis whose lives have been reshaped by war and who, ultimately, will be poised to help remake their country. He examines how the brutal tactics of the Fallujah police chief — a former insurgent whose brother’s head was sawn off with a razor blade — have stabilized the city. In Basra, Raghavan details the daily lives of residents enjoying fresh — and probably transitory — freedoms after the routing of religious militia. In Diyala province, Raghavan chronicles the tactics and tensions as an elite bomb disposal expert applies his techniques in an extremist stronghold. In Baghdad, Raghavan tells of a bookseller who refuses to leave his country even after narrowly surviving a car bombing that killed his son and brother. Overall, Raghavan’s work vividly conveys the nuances and ambiguities of a society in conflict. And in an extremely competitive field, his compelling and evocative writing made this entry a standout.

      Best published photographic reporting from abroad requiring exceptional courage

      Shaul Schwarz witnessed extraordinary and violent scenes during his coverage for Newsweek of the outbreak of violence in Kenya following the presidential election of December 2007. Two months of bloodshed left over 1,000 people dead and up to a half million displaced in an African country that had previously been considered politically stable. His brilliantly composed and impactful photographs show remarkable poise and focus in making a memorable sequence of images under chaos and pressure. In the spirit of Robert Capa, Schwarz continues the legacy that demonstrates the courage required to make important news photographs from the world’s most volatile locales.

      Best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines or books

      Stephanie Sinclair’s jarring and moving photographic essay on the tradition of young female circumcision in Muslim culture is a series of pictures that are hard to forget. In Bandung, Indonesia, Sinclair has documented this religious tradition by gaining unprecedented access to these normally closed ceremonies. It is precisely this kind of enterprising and enlightening photojournalism that serves to show us the world as it is, and challenges us to question the boundaries of religious faith and fundamental human rights.

The photographers’ exceptional team coverage provided insight via the world’s newspapers with a superbly comprehensive narrative.

Farrell traveled to the town of Cabaret where, as he describes it, “seeing those dead children — was a nightmare.” His heart wrenching reportage is a work of great creativity under challenging conditions, and serves to illustrate the enduring power of feature photography.

      This series brought a nuanced tone and analytical clarity to a very contemporary question: how to gauge the proper time, and the proper way, to disengage from war. Correspondent Jeb Sharp makes good use of historical actuality and new interviews to enliven what could have been an antiseptic topic. As one judge noted, the series is particularly admirable for its smart handling of abstract questions, for example, the tension between stability and justice. Each segment offers a different insight — not just about the end of war, but also about the fact that victory and defeat can sometimes be “oddly mutable,” as Sharp puts it.

      In the overwhelming chaos that surrounds a natural disaster, the reporting and resourcefulness of ABC News correspondents Stephanie Sy and Neal Karlinsky had to deal first with the physical obstacles to this breaking news story in a remote region of Sichuan province. Then their determination — and the ABC network’s commitment — gave viewers a comprehensive understanding of the tremendous physical, emotional and political impact of the earthquake. Their sensitivity was evident throughout in dealing with the grief of families who lost children. So too was the impressive doggedness Sy and Karlinsky displayed in pursuing the story day after day, making it relevant to their audience while revealing, layer by layer, the massive scale of the disaster. At the same time, they also explained how the Chinese government’s reaction signaled a new attitude both domestically and toward the international community.

      An extraordinary examination of the interconnected relationship between the United States and China. From both sides, this compelling four-hour documentary series demonstrates — with the most accomplished techniques of international reportage, inventive visual techniques and storytelling — how deeply tied together are the people, the societies and the economies of the two countries. Going far beyond the routine study of China and America, “The People’s Republic of Capitalism” examines the real and profound impact on communities, families and individual lives of the economic and political forces at work in both nations. Told with startling honesty and deep feeling, this is a major contribution to understanding these ties that bind.

      Award Honored Work: "Recipe for Famine"

      Best business reporting from abroad in newspapers or news services

      In “Recipe for Famine,” the staff of Bloomberg News took a big story, largely underplayed by most media, and examined it from a variety of angles, showing the interconnectedness of the food crisis and the sad truth that the crisis is largely manmade. In one story it shines a light on the 50-year old US food aid laws favoring American farmers and traders. The reporters use the narrative of an Ethiopian farmer and his family to show how those laws stalled the delivery of aid so long that many members of the farmer’s family died of malnutrition. Another story shows how a few businessmen manipulated the production and distribution of fertilizer, resulting in reduced food production and high prices. The reporters looked at ethanol production, often viewed as a welcome antidote to rising oil prices, and showed the knock-on effects of diverting corn to this purpose — a further reduction of food production. The series uncovered rampant corruption, misguided food aid policies and tragic waste and told the stories through first-rate reporting and effective use of narrative.

      In his narrative of the Iraq War, Dexter Filkins lives up to his reputation as the best war correspondent of his generation. His vivid portraits of the arc of violence and death that spreads from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iraq and even the tip of Manhattan capture the fear and the feel of a global conflagration. It’s a war fought by brave, confused young recruits from the hinterland of America, a war that engulfs men, women and children, a war fought in shattered alleyways, ruined villages, and flattened mosques. Filkins, showing extraordinary bravery, risks his life time and again to get the story — of a public execution by the Taliban in Kabul, of a Marine colonel pushed to the brink, of the soldier who took a bullet for him. This is one of the greatest books to come out of a terrible war.

      William Finnegan traveled the byways of human trafficking in Moldova and Dubai to create a saga of depth and insight. He weaves a whole cloth of “desperation, vio- lence, betrayal and sorrow,” as he ties the fate of these women to the fortunes of a humbled, post-Soviet country. He shows how the suffering of these women often begins before leaving home and lingers well after their rescue, points out the remark- able ironies of some victims-turned-recruiters, and highlights the work of rescuers who work tirelessly, even with the knowledge that for many of these women, much will never be right again. His haunting work broke new ground in one of today’s on- going horror stories.

      There are three doctors for every 100,000 people in Mozambique. So, midwives are crucial in this country of more than 21 million, but sometimes they are not skilled enough to save lives of women during childbirth. With this information, the Wide Angle team set out with a young midwife on her riveting journey to becoming a surgeon. Exceptional enter- prising reporting and revealing cinematography deliver a story that is alternately joyful and heartbreaking. “Birth of a Surgeon” is a testimonial to the human spirit and to a country’s efforts to tackle maternal mortality.

The writing is what we have come to expect from Guillermoprieto — elegant and clear. The anecdotes, such as the description of the Holy Death cult and the profile of “El Chapo” Guzman, one of the most brutal traffickers, add new context to our understanding. The overall message of this reporting is unsettling, to say the least. Mexican society is being rent by the new narcocultura and, until this evil is confronted, the bleakness of the country’s future will continue to tear at the United States as well.

      This project by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists exemplifies how the web can be both a powerful reporting tool and a storehouse of illuminating news and information that has value far beyond the current news cycle. The sweep and breadth of this project is nothing short of remarkable. A global team of reporters — some posing as smugglers and equipped with hidden video cameras — transcended political, cultural and geographic boundaries to tell the story of a very nasty business, whose tentacles reach from renegade factories in China and Russia to Indian reservations in New York state and warlords in Pakistan and North Africa. The presentation is rough and raw and its YouTube-hosted video is not as polished as those of other entries. But the strippeddown features of this online repository of investigative reporting — text, video, interactive maps, glossary and archive — tell a compelling story and make a tremendous amount of material accessible, especially to those in low-bandwidth portions of the globe.

      Best newspaper or wire service interpretation of international affairs

      That India’s economy is growing exponentially is well known. What The Wall Street Journal staff writers analyze is the impact of that growth story. Sudden strong demand for educated workers is breaking ancient caste barriers. Even Dalits, or untouchables, can now dream of the middle class life. The articles document the complexity of discrimination in rural India, the entrenched impunity of local corrupt legislators charged with fixing public education, and the new aspirations of the poorest as they clash with the powerful interests of the moneyed elite. How India’s democracy copes with both the demands of new wealth and worsening poverty for those left behind will keep the world watching keenly.

      John Moore withstood the deadly chaos of a suicide bombing attack that killed Benazir Bhutto to record the last moments of the politician’s life. During the attack and the ensuing pandemonium, Moore courageously photographed the violence and shattered hopes of those looking toward the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. In the spirit of Robert Capa, Moore captured the frenzied moments of the assassination and its deadly aftermath to bear witness to a significant historical moment.

      Best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines or books

      Cédric Gerbehaye’s work opens a window on the deadliest place on earth, the Democratic Republic of Congo, where some 5 million people have died as a result of conflict since 1998. Rebels, foreign armed groups, and the Congolese army all have been responsible for murder, rape, and looting. His images of fear, exhaustion, and terrible resignation are tangible evidence of the peril that literally consumes people in the region. Through Gerbehaye’s eyes we see the singular faces of the smallest of children, abducted and robbed of their future by commanders seeking new “recruits” for war. A barefoot man stands in an overcoat in a puddle-ridden camp for the displaced. The image of renegade general Laurent Nkunda, at-large and wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, is unforgettable, his bravado a symbol of the near total impunity with which those in power operate.

A seven-part series on the effects of China’s one-child policy, it offers a comprehensive look at the impact on Chinese society as the 100 million people born since the implementation of the program start to come of age. Magistad and Goren move beyond the mere social impact of this social-engineering legislation to look at attitudes toward sex, religion and business. Making effective use of the opportunities offered by their medium, they offer a fascinating and educational look at the forces that not only have shaped modern China, but at those that will continue to do so.

      Spending time with the soldiers of Battle Company, 173rd U.S. Airborne, as they lived — and died — in the Korengal Valley in eastern Afghanistan, freelance photographer Tim Hetherington gives viewers a gutsy, poignant view of what American troops face in “The Other War.” Hetherington and Junger traveled with a platoon of soldiers in one of the war’s most dangerous combat arenas. His camera work and his team’s elegant writing and editing provided a dramatic view of what the U.S. is facing in the struggle against the Taliban and foreign Jihadi militants. As Hetherington observed operation “Rock Avalanche,” three U.S. soldiers died and eight were wounded in close combat. They also accompanied soldiers into the midst of angry villagers after an Apache helicopter attack killed Afghan civilians. Hetherington gives viewers a sense of the rarely seen enemy and the raw emotions of both civilians and soldiers. On one raid, Hetherington broke his ankle and had to walk four hours down a mountainside to reach safety. Their work displayed not only great personal courage but the power of great journalism.

With both rare access and undercover reporting, Maria Hinojosa, Amy Bucher and the team at NOW traveled to three continents to document the lives of girls “engaged” as young as 3 years old, often to far older men, examining the practice’s heart-rending consequences and the sometimes unlikely local leaders working to end it. Told with urgency, poignancy and objectivity, “Child Brides” is startling and important.

      Andrea Elliott spent weeks in a Moroccan town talking with friends, relatives and neighbors of five young men who left as Jihadi on suicide missions to Spain and Iraq. She records detailed accounts of their lives, despite initial suspicions and surveillance by Moroccan security forces. Her account, beautifully written, provides an unparalleled look into the making of terrorists and is a reporting tour de force. With great insight the reporter illustrates that terrorist motives are complex. Multiple forces are at work: the role of the mosques and their clergy, unemployment, limited opportunity and desire for revenge as an outgrowth of U.S. occupation of Iraq.

What an efficient, devastating, and clever way to describe the world’s desperate attempts to encourage Iraq- and Iraqis- to turn into a prince.

      This series was an extraordinary combination of traditional gumshoe investigating and high tech innovation that resulted in a compelling, thorough and dramatic body of work that was clearly ahead of the curve of not only other journalistic organizations, but the governments of China and the United States. This team created a journalistic tour de force — from the Dashiel Hammett-like work of Jake Hooker, who traveled under assumed names and kept his notes under his mattress, to the dogged work of Walt Bogdanich in uncovering classified FDA documents that warned of problems with diethylene glycol, to the computer-assisted study that showed as many as 1,300 unlicensed companies selling pharmaceuticals. The series is a primer on how to do investigative journalism. The team worked with video journalists to document the tragic toll that these counterfeit drugs took on innocent people, making this a truly multi-media series.

      How did the U.S. get it so wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Bob Drogin, national security and intelligence reporter for the Los Angeles Times, provides much of the answer in this anatomy of the CIA’s drive to prove the existence of chemical weapons in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The central thread of Drogin’s narrative – the story of an Iraqi refugee with a dubious story about mobile germ labs – illustrates the White House’s grim determination to seize on any evidence, however flimsy, to justify the invasion. From there Drogin expands his cast of characters to include German spies, White House officialdom, the Iraqi resistance and the U.N. Along the way he uncovers a wealth of new detail about one of the worst intelligence failures in American history.

Polgreen goes to all corners, known and far, near but remote. More often than not, she brings you there to taste the dust, hear the cries and even—in rare instances—share the tri- umphs. She gets to the essence of things with well-told stories about col- lapsing states and cultures. You can feel the anger as she gets to the sources responsible and puts the questions that have to be put. Pol- green discovers for us. She takes the return paths and the old paths, and brings new eyes to the old routes. And she confronts the villains and becomes the rod that expresses the questions those they op- press cannot fathom to ask except in their rare dreams of hope.

      Why did the world community allow the massacre of 200,000 Darfur Su- danese to go virtually unimpeded for four years? The reasons are vividly laid out in this masterful and com- pelling documentary. When United Nations intervention was forestalled by political ties between Sudan and China, it took grass-roots efforts by activists who threatened to rename the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games аз the “Genocide Olympics” to finally break the diplomatic logjam. Each step in that process is reported here with exceptional journalism and dramatic cinematography.

      “Choking on Growth” is a meticulously reported exposé of the worst environmental ills of unbridled economic expansion in China and the damaging consequences both for the Chinese people and the wider world. New York Times correspondents fanned out across China to research and report the story in a 10-part series that made the most of the publication’s online multimedia presence. Beautifully illustrated using compelling photography, videography and graphics, the series was aimed as much at a Chinese audience as at a U.S. domestic audience. Podcasts and transcripts of the series in Mandarin ensured a major impact for a story Chinese media are unable to report to the same degree.

      Keenly aware that last December’s referendum to extend the powers of President Hugo Chavez would have repercussions far beyond Venezuela, The Miami Herald staff produced an eight-part series that helped readers appreciate the political and social context of the vote and to anticipate and absorb the stunning victory of the “No” vote. This series is an admirable blend of breaking news coverage, imaginative feature stories, and penetrating analysis of the complex reality of a society caught in the vortex of its leader’s headlong pursuit of “21st Century socialism.” A stirring (and balanced) portrait of the two leftist student leaders of pro-and anti-Chavez camps is particularly noteworthy, as are the insider reports on dissension within the ranks of the Venezuelan military and the mixed feelings toward Chavez among the poor. Marshalling its formidable journalistic resources devoted to Latin America, the Herald (and its sister publication El Nuevo Herald) covered the election from every angle, burnishing their established reputation for thorough and compelling coverage of the region.

      In the midst of heated debate over the “surge” in Iraq by the American military, The New York Times, led by its Baghdad Bureau, created a comprehensive online guide to the sectarian violence plaguing various Baghdad neighborhoods. In reports that combined analysis, photo and video journalism, interactive maps and on-the-ground reporting, The Times brought clarity to an increasingly complicated story through the shifting realities in the Iraqi capital.

      For outstanding reporting by a Russian journalist who displays courage, insight, and independence of thought

      Aleksei Venediktov is one of Russia’s best known journalists and a staunch defender of free speech. He serves as editor-in-chief of the national radio station Echo of Moscow (Ekho Moskvi), and as the host of several of its programs. The station is one of the few in Russia that provides independent news and openly criticizes government officials and policy. Venediktov can often be heard on the air, posing the hard questions that few others dare to ask. Ekho Moskvi as an organization and Venediktov as a person represent everything that Artyom Borovik stood for in his short life — courage, boldness and the importance of questioning authority. Venediktov’s Ekho Moskvi is and has always been one of the few shining points in the very dark world of Russian media.

      At a time when many news organizations are under pressure to cut back on their international presence, the judges were impressed by the depth of commitment made by the Los Angeles Times to cover two of the world’s most difficult and dangerous stories. The Times maintained three fulltime correspondents in Baghdad, backed by more than 20 Iraqi staffers. The correspondents were ahead of the competition in describing the disintegration of Sunni-Shiite neighborhoods and the role of Shiite police in death squads. In Afghanistan, Paul Watson displayed remarkable enterprise by describing how secret information was leaking out of a U.S. military base and by traveling nearly 1,400 miles around the country.

      They said it couldn’t be done — trace a gallon of gas sold in America to the oil producing countries from which it came. Paul Salopek thought otherwise. Learning that refineries kept “crude slates,” he convinced Marathon Oil to share the confidential list of crude deliveries at its Illinois refinery. In a series that crackles with verisimilitude, Salopek depicts both life in the oil fields of the strife-torn African states that produced the crude, and life among the truckers, Hummer drivers and down and outs at an all night Marathon station vending the final product on Chicago’s West side. Salopek’s effort is a model of how to plant a global story squarely on Main Street.

They are full of austere beauty even as they tell a damning truth about the brutal nature of armed conflict and its terrible effects on civilian populations.

By defining the brutal contours of the conflict, Sakamaki has evoked the emotional and deadly trauma of a savage civil war that has raged for nearly 25 years and has all but been forgotten by the outside world.

The judges found her work to be extraordinary, not only for the unique perspective she brings to the subject, but for the poignancy and eloquence of her visual language.

      This is a compelling account of a young woman’s fight against the pandemic that is sweeping Africa. Thembi Ngubane, a resident of the sprawling South African township of Khayelitsha, spent a year recording her feelings about the disease, her fears about having a child of her own and the pain of telling her father about her illness. The judges felt that this was an example of radio at its finest: powerful, creative and deeply moving. Superb editing, which compacted 50 hours of raw tape into a half-hour documentary, allowed Thembi to tell her own story while simultaneously illustrating the political and social tensions roused by AIDS in a nation still trying to overcome the legacy of its apartheid past.

Logan was running along with troops when a 19-year old soldier was shot right in front of her. Logan caught several signs of imminent disaster seconds before snipers opened fire: women suddenly running away down the street, shops abandoned with all of their goods openly on display. Judges were especially impressed by Logan’s capturing of many human moments and gritty details as the young troops faced possible death. Some of their comments as bullets were hitting around them: “we’re going to get blown up,” and “we’re just rolling the dice.”

      “Sex Slaves” represents everything a winner should have: strong dramatic story, riveting characters, amazing access, good journalism, and professional execution. This portrait of modern day slavery is made possible by the most compelling use of undercover cameras in recent memory. The international scourge of human trafficking is shown from all sides the women, their families, the middlemen (who sometimes were women) and the traffickers themselves. The disappearance of Katia and her husband Viorel’s desperate search to trace and rescue her from Turkey is the stuff of movie scripts. The fact that Katia’s kidnapper, Vlad, agrees to talk about and justify his crime is a coup for the filmmakers that serves to highlight the enormous difficulty of stamping out this ancient but still thriving crime against humanity. Bravo to the filmmakers for their first-rate reporting and forceful storytelling worthy of the name Murrow.

Packer’s story features superb writing and on-the-scene reporting. He describes the failed policies which have emboldened U.S. enemies and divided American public opinion.

Every day remittances are flowing not just to Mexico from California, but from Italy to Kenya, Spain to Ecuador, South Africa to Zimbabwe, and from just about everywhere to the Philippines. The Times brought the stories to life by recounting the sometimes harrowing experiences of individuals on both ends of the remittance pipeline. Proving that commitment to foreign news is not dead, the Times sent its reporters to 14 countries to tell the compelling stories of remittances the new foreign aid.

      This is a disturbing story of life inside the walled-off Baghdad enclave that has served as the nerve center of America’s occupation of Iraq. The Washington Post’s Rajiv Chandrasekaran captures the dangerous absurdity of Americans ensconced in their imperial compound. Operating from air conditioned spaces in Saddam’s old palaces, comforted by all the amenities of home and protected by the most powerful army on earth, they remained dangerously cut off from the chaotic realities of the country they were supposed to save. By turns tragic and darkly comic, “Imperial Life in the Emerald City” is a stark reminder of how much damage American arrogance and naivete can inflict on the world.

      Best international reporting in the broadcast media showing a concern for the human condition

      This extraordinary piece of cinema verité puts flesh and blood on the grim casualty statistics of the Iraq War. By following wounded American soldiers and Iraqi civilians as they are brought into the 86th Combat Support Hospital for treatment, it depicts, without editorializing, the horror of war and the heroism of the ordinary men and women who confront it on a daily basis.

      Best international reporting in any medium dealing with human rights

      Stephen Grey’s “Ghost Plane” is the consummation of years of investigation, not only by the author, but, as he acknowledges, the informal global network of journalists with whom he collaborated to reveal the murky world of rendition, extraordinary rendition and proxy torture. By tracing the landings and takeoffs of clumsily concealed CIA flights, his work not only demonstrates concerned investigative journalism in action, it lifts the lid on a global gulag of prisons and torture chambers, assembled by US officials in defiance of domestic and international human rights law. It caused a furor in Europe, and should here.

      A chilling recounting of the decades that Peruvians suffered under threat from the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso and then from their own governments’ counter-terrorism repression is told through the eyes and ears of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as well as a society photographer who documented the atrocities. Sobering first person stories and archival footage show how the country became convulsed with fear. It is a cautionary tale about terrorism as Peruvians fight to restore democracy and its rule of law and learn whom to trust.

      These five well-reported stories, beautifully complemented by interactive graphics, crisp photography, and video reports tailored for the Web rather than television viewers, bring to light a crisis in the world’s oceans. Using California’s fragile coastline as a jumping off point, the series ties together recent global data on coral reefs, water temperature and fish stocks, into a jarring report on a serious threat to sea life, and in turn, to life on the rest of the planet. In reports from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and from the tiny Pacific atoll of Midway Island, the editorial team explains the complex chemical and biological factors driving many species of aquatic plants and animals toward extinction. The framing, pace and tone of the video reports, the direct relevance of interactive features, and the urgent but not hyperbolic tone of the text stories provided a mix that was truly made for online media.

      For outstanding reporting by a Russian journalist who displays courage, insight, and independence of thought

      During the Soviet war in Afghanistan, Major Izmailov commanded a battalion. Now a reporter for one of Russia’s last bastions of the free press, the Moscow newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, Izmailov has written an authoritative column on Russian military affairs. No mere commentator, Izmailov, a longtime colleague of the late Anna Politkovskaya, is part independent analyst, part human rights mediator, and at least two parts muckraker in the tradition of Seymour Hersh. His 2006 columns typify the Izmailov style: each is an unflinching examination of malfeasance in the armed forces, be it corruption at the highest levels, hazing of recruits, or alleged war crimes in the ongoing conflict, now in its thirteenth year, in Chechnya.

      The Knight Ridder team was far ahead of other news organizations, reporting in February 2005 that deadly infighting among Iraq’s Shiites and Sunnis threatened to erupt into civil war. An invaluable asset was that two of the three reporters spoke Arabic. The high degree of personal risk was obvious, as evidenced by the death of Salihee at the hands of U.S. troops manning a checkpoint. The judges were impressed that Knight Ridder, despite its financial pressures, maintained its commitment to the story.

Priest’s painstaking reporting required cultivation of sources within the tight-lipped intelligence world. Her stories resonated worldwide, prompting lawmakers at home and abroad to re-examine appropriate limits to the government’s counterterrorism campaign.

The immediacy of these images places us inside the chilling action in an Iraqi city under siege. Most heartbreaking is the photograph of a young girl shrieking while splattered with the blood of her dead parents.

      This powerful body of work won’t allow us to turn away, but rather makes us face the grim reality of what war-torn Congo has become. Chaos reigns and victims endure unimaginable horrors, including amputation, torture, rape, and cannibalism. There are no supplies or proper medical care in a place too dangerous for nongovernmental organizations to operate. The sheer physical and human toll is reach- ing epic proportions. Bleasdale’s aptly titled essay vividly documents the plundering of a society that has turned on itself.

      Living in the region for many years didn’t diminish Castelnuovo’s ability to capture the emotional story of Jewish settlers’ forced withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank. Each image depicts an intimate moment in the struggle between “the believers and non-believers.” The Israeli soldiers are clearly torn by having to evict fellow Jews from the land and homes they believe are theirs by divine right.

Its reporting on the problems encountered by Cambodia’s garment industry as it tries to adapt to the ever-changing rules of global trade was thorough and nuanced. Interwoven with the main David-and-Goliath theme were subtle, well-made points about the irony of unintended consequences and the differing expectations of new and old democracies. The unpretentious delivery let the humanity of the reporters’ subjects come through.

      The controversy over Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed reminded judges of the emotional power of the drawn idea. In such a charged atmosphere, judges divided the award between the best practitioners of the soft and of the hard sell: Bennett of The Christian Science Monitor and Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

      The chief editorial writer of The Christian Science Monitor put it best about Bennett: “His subjects are lampooned, not harpooned, in a deadpan style somewhere between Buster Keaton and Franz Kafka.” Typical was his drawing of the United States as a construction worker busily nailing himself into a closed room while nation-building.

      If Bennett makes the reader think, Luckovich is more likely to elicit a wince. In a year when many cartoonists went for the Bush jugular, he did it memorably. His most biting work was that of Uncle Sam as a blindfolded torturer beside a skeleton and a stack of skulls. He wields a whip over the world, saying, “Last Chance. Say you still respect me.”

      Award Honored Work: Best Cartoons

      Best cartoons on international affairs

      The controversy over Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed reminded judges of the emotional power of the drawn idea. In such a charged atmosphere, judges divided the award between the best practitioners of the soft and of the hard sell: Bennett of The Christian Science Monitor and Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

      The chief editorial writer of The Christian Science Monitor put it best about Bennett: “His subjects are lampooned, not harpooned, in a deadpan style somewhere between Buster Keaton and Franz Kafka.” Typical was his drawing of the United States as a construction worker busily nailing himself into a closed room while nation-building.

      If Bennett makes the reader think, Luckovich is more likely to elicit a wince. In a year when many cartoonists went for the Bush jugular, he did it memorably. His most biting work was that of Uncle Sam as a blindfolded torturer beside a skeleton and a stack of skulls. He wields a whip over the world, saying, “Last Chance. Say you still respect me.”

      “The Front Line” is a wonderful example of finding a great story in plain sight. In Japan, the rise of the military industrial complex may be apparent, but to those of us in the United States, this story about the Japanese military is an eye-opener. This well-researched, well-written article also includes the startling assertion by a Japanese official that Japan could build a nuclear bomb in six months.

      Waldmans series of four articles focused on the Indian government’s 15-year project to widen and pave some 40,000 miles of narrow, decrepit national highways — the biggest public-works effort since independence more than half a century ago. She told her story with such creativity that it made the reader feel, taste, and smell India as if they were traveling the road with her. The business of building a vast new highway network, with its many unexpected and unimagined ramifications, was beautifully told by Waldman. She captured the essence of a nation in transition — a civilization inching from the ancient to the modern.

      This moving, two-part series on the little-noted kidnap and murder of 12 Nepalese workers in Iraq uncovered a shocking network of contractors and subcontractors — leading back to the U.S. government – that deceitfully and illegally lured poor foreigners as cheap labor for American bases, then failed to provide proper care and security. Simpson’s work was a model of initiative, tenacity, and investigative skill, finally leading to an official probe by the U.S. State Department, which credited the series for dramatizing the “dark side” of global labor trafficking.

With skilled use of cinema verité, it showed the day-to-day dangers of the war and how it affected U.S. soldiers in Iraq and their families at home in Arkansas, masterfully weaving the two locations together. The piece also portrayed the Iraqis’ suffering and documented the remarkable moment when Iraqis voted, risking their lives to do so. This series made the war immediate and real in a stark, unembellished, powerful way.

      Through exhaustive interviews with defectors, North Korean residents at the Chinese border, and foreign aid workers, Barbara Demick pieced together a vivid portrait of daily life inside the world’s most isolated nation. Focusing on the coastal city of Chongjin, Demick detailed how desperate citizens are trying to cope with extreme hunger, poverty, and political repression. Demick also traveled to the Czech Republic to show how North Korean women are essentially working as slaves even beyond North Korea’s borders.

      Unsettling and poetic, “Out of Eden” is a dark travelogue into a subject that is obscure but portentous: the insinuation of invasive species into environments where they would not be without the assistance of human beings. In exotic landscapes and in his own backyard, Burdick builds his reporting on the stories of ecologists working the intersections of natural and manmade ecologies. Indeed, this absorbing account of plants and animals emigrating to new environments raises essential questions about what it means to call the natural environments “natural.”

      Best reporting in any medium on Latin America

      In insightful, wide-ranging reporting оп the crucial question in Latin America: “Why has reform failed?” The Wall Street Journal’s Latin American staff analyzed the region’s shift to the left after the apparent failure of free-market policies. Brazil’s struggles for economic take-off are shown mired in red tape, corruption, and snail-paced justice. Argentina’s efforts to give property titles to some squatters visibly succeed while neighbors not yet owning titles languish. Mexico’s educational divide stifles social and entrepreneurial mobility generation after generation. Weaving unusual subjects into broader analyses of trade, political, and economic trends, the in-depth reports suggest that there is no single reason for the failure of reform and certainly no single solution.

      Best web coverage of international affairs

      This series of stories, told using a rich mix of audio, video, animated graphics, original documentation, and careful, well-written prose, focused on the abuse of Latin American migrants working stands of timber in the forests of California. While the story takes place in California, The Sacramento Bee rightly presents it as a larger tale of open borders, immigration, and deregulation in the age of globalization.

      Reporter Tom Knudson and photojournalist Hector Amezcua take their audience to an insular world as foreign to average Americans as any on the planet, a world “which only happens to be in America,” as one judge put it. Their work steers clear of the hyperbole and production slickness that taints too much of today’s journalism.

      Their work carefully parses the elements of this heart-wrenching story into sidebars, backgrounders, and multimedia features, pairing each element to the medium best suited to present it. The piece also provides readers with a way to contact the companies and government agencies involved and includes a “Respond to this Series” link that led to a genuine debate over the value of their journalism.

The WBUR team gained access to radical Muslim preacher Omar Bakhri Mohammed and his followers, the father of a Briton detained at Guantanamo Bay and other members of the British Muslim community to explore why British citizens have been attracted to violent Islam.

Frontline World’s powerful storytelling, enterprising reporting and disciplined editing combined to create a powerful example of foreign reporting at its best.

With his cynicism, imagination and sharp sharp drawing style, Kal always hits the mark.

      In his remarkable book, Steve Coll has brought submerged history to light and so made a critical contribution to understanding of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. The devastation of that day seemed to come from nowhere. But, thanks to Coll, we now know a lot more about its origins. Combining the resourcefulness of a journalist with the documentary research of an historian, Coll has drawn the missing lines between the cold war and the war on terror. In tracing the vagaries and ultimate carelessness of U.S. policy in Afghanistan, Coll demonstrates how Osama bin Laden was an American creation. The Mujahedin were first agents in the struggle against the Soviet Union, funded and encouraged by the CIA. Then the holy warriors turned on their creators. How and why this happened is the subject of Coll’s masterful, riveting chronicle.

Danners work relentlessly exposed the culpability of those higher up the pecking order than the ordinary soldiers now in the dock.

Hersh’s series of articles not only took U.S. readers into the heart of the unthinkably tortuous conditions and practices at Abu Ghraib, his work helped motivate Washington to take action and to seek answers.

      Best international reporting in the broadcast media dealing with human rights.

      A ground-breaking investigation into a previously hidden side of the war on terror. The TV4 investigative team re- searched and uncovered what are known as “extraordinary renditions” — the secret shipping of asylum seekers or terrorism suspects to countries known for torture, with only a so-called “diplomatic assurance” that torture will not take place. The renditions to Egypt, with Sweden’s help, were accomplished through the CIA with a U.S.-government leased private jet and violated both Swedish and international law. The telecast was a bombshell in Sweden, which cherishes its reputation for upholding human rights. This program even changed policy. Following the broadcast, the Swedish government reversed course and said that the deportations were an embarrassing mistake, and has called for an international investigation. In the year since TV4’s revelations, this investigation has been the basis for a page one story in The Washington Post, a 60 Minutes show and dozens of American television, newspaper and magazine stories.

In a series of articles, Perlez detailed evidence in the village of Buyat Bay of skin tumors, rashes, breathing difficulties, and headaches. She documented how mining operations by Newmont Mining Corporation allegedly damaged fishing waters vital to natives. Until the Times series appeared the Indonesian government and the mining company had turned a deaf ear to the problem. This series forced the government to take legal action against Newmont.

Trying to bring law and order to a chaotic country at palpable personal risk, Chriolla’s tale is told against the backdrop of a complex political situation. Unusual access and in-depth interviews with those on all sides of the issues, including a top paramilitary leader, yielded dramatic footage of the deep and difficult connections between the United States and Colombia, a major recipient of U.S. aid.

He saw he Sunni uprising as the greatest postwar challenge. ln all, Shadid wrote more than 90-one stories through the year, exhibiting extraordinary depth and resourcefulness.

      Iraq was the story in 2003, and many good journalists were in the field. CNN’s Nie Robertson got inside access to the planning and execution of an American raid. His piece captures the psychology of Iraq today and of the Americans and Iraqis who misunderstand each other, despite good intentions. It fairly portrays anxiety among the Americans and fear and anger among the Iraqis. The result of much preparation and thoughtful work in the field, the 11-minute piece is brisk yet displays intimacy and depth.

From its on-the-ground reporting of this devastating war to its insightful interviews with child soldiers, “Liberia: American Dream” was a story the judges couldn’t stop watching. At great personal risk, the team put the audience on the front lines of the war with vivid reporting on soldiers, victims, heroes, and villains. The team skillfully wove context into the story and gave viewers a unique perspective of America from a nation that sees the U.S. as the world’s great hope.

His documentation of the Crédit Lyonnais fraud illustrates the wrongdoing at the bank and the underside of the politics of international prosecution.

In little more than a week, the Journals coverage exposed many details of a massive but amazingly crude fraud that may total $10 billion, as well as the human drama as Calisto Tanzi’s family-controlled empire fell apart. In a model collaborative effort, staffers around the world filled out the core team’s coverage.

It also offers timely insights into the value of and ongoing need for reliable intelligence data.

It brings out the complex motivations and misunderstanding of victims and would-be helpers alike against a background of horror, contrasting the assumptions of Americans with the realities of life in Sierra Leone.

Her months of reporting in refugee camps, garbage dumps, and local madrassas — places most Western journalists either can’t go or don’t go to—yielded vivid footage and gripping interviews with children caught up in desperate conditions. Obaid’s compassion for her subjects made this a unanimous choice.

      In a category rich with drama around the world, this slim, powerful book stands out. It describes Bergner’s travels to Sierra Leone, a country ravaged for a decade by vicious civil war and ethnic slaughter, a country deemed “the worst on earth” by the U.N. His story is savage and depressing—both sides punish enemies with machete amputations, for example — and the situation seems hopeless. But Bergner carefully records the optimism of a few politicians who believe their country will thrive someday and the faith of missionaries that God will show the way. This vivid book reads like a novel, but every horrifying word is true.

      “Казу Prey” is an unflinching exposé of the child sex trafficking in Romania that extends across Europe. It is a topic that is easy to sensationalize and hard to report with intelligence and sensitivity. The probe shows the harsh lives of Romania’s youth and their vulnerability to West- ern sex predators, documenting the high-tech trafficking of children through Web sites and even parents who prostitute their own children. Tipurita and Smith won the trust of their young subjects, turned the spotlight on those who sought to exploit them, followed the trafficking chain to Milan, and even prompted the arrest of a trafficker in Britain.

      Award Honored Work: “The Cage”

      For outstanding reporting by a Russian journalist who displays courage, insight, balanced yet aggressive reporting, and independence of thought

      Merkulova and her colleagues Andrei Kaminsky and Ekaterina Bazhenova profiled the heartbreaking conditions faced by children with HIV in the Irkutsk region. These children have been abandoned by their families, and as Merkulova writes, “they haven’t been outside a single time; they haven’t seen the sky. They see masks instead of human faces; they feel rubber gloves instead of warm hands.” To make matters worse some of these children have been misdiagnosed, but their mistreatment in their early years affects them throughout their lives. “The Cage” is a touching, poetic portrayal of a problem that has received too little attention-the growing effects of the AIDS epidemic in Russia.

Looking at the skeleton of a once- thriving place, one sees an eerily quiet beauty in these pictures. This approach to picturing the aftermath of war was innovative and highly effective.

The convincing detail, including a video of Osama bin Laden with his forces that became a story in itself. Anti-terrorism experts said the discovery provided valuable insight into the inner workings of al Qaeda.

The shell-shattered ruins of Hué, the terror of a lieutenant colonel in an outpost under NVN fire, a ghostly conversation with the grunts who picked up the bodies — all these cinematic moments come alive through Laurence’s rich prose. Along the way he details the true cost of war to Vietnam, America, and the men and women who got the story.

Dateline’s yearlong investigation shows the harsh lives of very young children sold by their parents into “bonded labor” The documentary follows the silk production and supply chain from silkworm markets, to boiling and weaving sweatshops, through auction centers, fabric manufacturers, and the middlemen and suppliers to leading U.S. department stores. The documentary spotlights how difficult it is to say with any certainty whether the silk so widely available in America is — or is not — produced by child slaves.

      The series is in the best tradition of investigative reporting. The articles, part of a regular feature called “Silicon Valley’s Dark Side,” break new ground by exposing a story not reported be- fore. The research took Schoenberger to Guiyu in southern China, where he and photographer Joanne Hoyoung Lee were able to see firsthand where computers are born and where they go to die, and the far-reaching and largely unseen environmental consequences of this “e-waste.”

In an exceptional gesture for a newspaper, the Times printed her extensive footnotes to document the story.

      The war in Chechnya is rife with bitter ironies, but nothing rankles the Russian public more than the thought that almost all of the Russian soldiers killed in the region are felled by Russian-made weapons. This concise, compelling documentary explores the murky world of gun enthusiasts, corrupt soldiers, and cashhungry ordinary citizens who feed the enormous black market for weapons inside Russia.

      In an extraordinarily prescient dispatch, the Los Angeles Times warned about the threat to the U.S. posed by Osama bin Laden six months before the September 11 attacks. By quoting U.S. officials that bin Laden “is at the center of the threats we face over the next few years,” it sent a warning that should have been more widely heard.

      Best TV interpretation or documentary on international affairs

      This account of an Afghan-Briton’s daring attempt to learn about her father’s homeland was chosen for its courageous infiltration of Taliban- run Afghanistan. The story was produced months before the U.S. war on terror began. In constant peril, the production team secretly recorded life under the Taliban, even continuing to tape with hidden cameras during two brief detentions. The team’s deep research, networking with secret resistance groups, and use of dramatic amateur footage elevated this personal story to an outstanding documentary, enriched by the sensitivity of reporter Saira Shah.

      This book is a page-turning account of the hunt to track down and kill a South American drug lord. Killing Pablo combines the verve of a thriller with on-the-record testimony from people who were in the middle of the action. It tells the story of how one man, Pablo Escobar, destroyed thousands of lives and very nearly Colombia itself in the 1980s and early 1990s. It took the coordinated efforts of the American and Colombian governments, and the work of death squads that matched Pablo’s own forces for brutality, to bring him down.

      Best international reporting in the broadcast media dealing with human rights.

      “The Promised Land” shed important new light on the flow of illegal Chinese immigrants to the U.S. Narrated by Tom Brokaw, the documentary describes the fate of the Chinese refugees aboard the Golden Venture, the smuggling ship that ran aground in New York harbor in 1993. Those who came to the U.S. seeking freedom were instead jailed for years. The report documents the refugees’ flight from China, the voyage many did not survive, indefinite detention in American prisons, and the effort of American citizens to free them.

      Best international reporting in a print medium dealing with human rights

      At a time when many newspapers avoid challenging advertisers, the Knight Ridder team confronted an entire class of potential advertisers — makers of chocolate candy — in “A Taste of Slavery.” This was a hard-news account of the institutionalization of slavery in the Ivory Coast. There, boys as young as 12 work 14 to 18 hours a day gathering cocoa beans that are sold to chocolate manufacturers around the world. Since publication, the manufacturers have allocated money to survey the extent of child slavery in the Ivory Coast and the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to require labeling of chocolate products assuring that slave labor was not employed. The team questioned 18 chocolate confectioners, ranging from Nestlé to Ben & Jerry’s, about their possible use of slave-gathered cocoa beans.

      Time magazine’s special report on climate change synthesizes the latest scientific evidence on the world’s deadly dependence on fossil fuels. “Except for nuclear war or a collision with an asteroid, no force has more potential to damage our planet’s web of life than global warming,” the authors conclude. A separate story examines the U.S. decision to walk away from nine years of international negotiations and how it, alone among nations, abandoned the 1997 Kyoto treaty limiting the emission of greenhouse gases.

Otis wrote clearly and comprehensively about the history and background of the conflict, the life of the people, the rebel camps and the despeje, the rebels’ name for their autonomous zone. Otis’ reporting was enterprising, arduous, and involved great personal risk.

      Award Honored Work: Investigative Reporting on Crime, Corruption, and Injustice in the far eastern region of Chita

      For outstanding reporting by a Russian journalist who displays courage, insight, balanced yet aggressive reporting, and independence of thought

      Kids who bullied and targeted their schoolmates for extortion but got no more than a slap on the wrist. A drunken driver who killed an 18-year-old girl but served only seven months in jail because a friend was the deputy district attorney. Soldiers who sold supplies from their army post in a neighboring village in exchange for vodka—and beat up villagers who objected to the practice. These are only a sampling of Cherkasov’s remarkable body of work, which exposed corruption, injustice, and social ills in his hometown of Chita, a city of 320,000, located 2,760 miles east of Moscow. Cherkasov’s newspaper, the weekly Effekt, is itself a fine representative of the Russian regional press, keeping its readers well informed about often-uncomfortable social issues. The prize awarded to Cherkasov is named for Artyom Borovik, who was one of the earliest and boldest practitioners of glasnost (openness) in Mikhail Gorbachev’s Soviet Union in the 1980s. Borovik, who won an Overseas Press Club award in 1991 for a 60 Minutes segment on a Soviet lab where the brains of Vladimir Lenin and other Soviet heroes were stored, was relentless in exposing the malfeasance, corruption, and dirty secrets of Russian officials. He was best known for his critical reporting — while in his 20s—from Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. He died tragically in a plane crash in 1999 at the age of 39.

      In The Washington Post’s “Death Watch” series about the AIDS crisis in Africa, Barton Gellman broke new ground by looking at the policy decisions—and the missed opportunities that lay behind the plague that has devastated the entire continent. Drawing on classified documents, dozens of interviews, and national intelligence estimates, Gellman documented the ways in which bureaucratic politics and indifference among government officials, international organizations, and corporations stymied a global response to fighting the disease. He also probed the international discrepancies in AIDS treatment and provided details of secret talks between major pharmaceutical companies and the U. N. in the early 1990s. Gellman’s powerful reporting resonates today in the continuing debate about AIDS drugs in Africa—who should get them and at what cost. His articles provide a rich perspective on the history of this deadly disease.

But it also went a step further and took listeners on a relentless pursuit of those responsible for the massacre. The correspondents examined a trail of evidence linking the killings to officials in Slobodan Milosevic’s government in Belgrade.

      Starting in June, 1991, when Boris Yeltsin gained power, this piercing account of the errors and miscalculations made in the name of transforming Russia is compelling. To contain the growing economic chaos following one failed Western-backed experiment after another to move to free-market capitalism, Yeltsin resorted to increasing authoritarianism and crony capitalism that encouraged rampant corruption. President Clinton, however, continued to support the autocratic Yeltsin with loans, goodwill, and bad advice. The story ends with the first days of President Putin and the sad and troubled spirits of the Russian people, who see no better future for themselves, only hopes for their children.

      Our Vietnam is an elegantly structured, beautifully written, retelling of the story of America’s longest war. The author draws upon newly opened archives and his experiences as a reporter in Saigon for The New York Times. He made five recent trips to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Beijing to interview communist and former Vietcong leaders, diplomats, and scholars about their political and military strategies during the war.

      Laurie Garrett’s in-depth research and skillful reporting practically defines the category “showing a concern for the human condition.” Garrett describes the collapse of public-health systems in Africa, the former Soviet Union, India, and the U. S. Her work forces the public — and hopefully governments — to refocus on what a health system is supposed to do.

      With this documentary, Sorious Samura and CNN have told the long-ignored story of the bloody January, 1999, sacking of Freetown, Sierre Leone. During some of the worst violence, cameraman Samura was the only journalist on the scene, filming abuses against a civilian population —including mass amputations. Samura’s film was almost never shown because networks found it too graphic.

Both the unfairness of her trial and the inconsistencies in her stories were exposed. Peter Van Sant’s skillful interview of Berenson suggested she was not just a young idealist innocently mixed up with murderous terrorists.

      In a series of vividly descriptive reports from Chechnya, David Filipov depicted the ambiguity of a war in which Russian troops fought Islamic militants, Russian bandits fought Russian soldiers, and Chechen gangs fought Russians. Russian jets, meanwhile, indiscriminately bombed and strafed Chechen civilians. Filipov was one of the first to reach the Chechen capital of Grozny and reported from this no-man’s-land at considerable risk. He was also among a small group of journalists who were detained by Russian troops. His stories proved that the Russians suffered heavy losses despite official denials. And he raised the dark question of whether the Kremlin created the Chechen terrorist threat to enhance the image of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin.

The story questioned the role of the International Monetary Fund and U.S. government in deciding to prop up some economies, but not others. The producers also succeeded in giving the story a human face by showing the effects of the financial crisis on individual people in these countries.

      With piercing wit and a powerful sense of the absurd, Rob Rogers gives readers a fresh perspective on world news. Never ponderous or didactic, Rogers finds hilarious incongruities in even the most serious foreign events: for example, the mistaken bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and the devastation in Chechnya portrayed in a game show hosted by Boris Yeltsin. He also offers a wry take on the mixed blessings of globalization. In “The Great Mall,” the Chinese wonder of the world has been transformed into a giant shopping opportunity, while Seattle’s anti-WTO demonstrators are shocked to discover that their protest T-shirts are made in Indonesia. This enormously talented cartoonist offers a host of surprises.

      The product of a four-month investigation, this 7 comprehensive 13-раре COLMEY LIEBHOLD cover story was a detailed portrayal of how Indonesia’s former President and his family muscled into every level of the country’s economy to build a fortune worth at least $15 billion. The story of corruption under Suharto wasn’t new, but the authors broke new ground with a wealth of detail and scrupulous documentation. Their most explosive allegation was that $9 billion in family funds were transferred from Switzerland to an Austrian bank soon after Suharto resigned. The story prompted Suharto’s protégé and successor, B.J. Habibie, to order his attorney general to investigate. Suharto sued Time for $27 billion, charging defamation. After the attorney general called off the investigation, citing insufficient evidence, public outrage was so great that it helped defeat Habibie in last fall’s election.

      Thomas Friedman’s book is an ambitious work undertaken by an experienced correspondent. In a clear, comprehensive analysis of the post-cold-war universe, he argues that globalization has replaced geopolitics as the engine of world affairs. In his view, financial markets are now as important as politics, culture, and national security. Speaking from the juncture of economics and international affairs, Friedman describes the effects of globalization and the speeding of communication via the Internet, and argues that the most democratized countries will be the winners. Friedman is foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times.

Despite the time and financial pressure (the paper covered only some of the expenses), the story was impressive in its accuracy and impact.

The author argued that the need to improve the judiciary is probably the biggest story in Latin America today and helps explain why the region has lagged behind other parts of the world in some key respects. The author brought a potentially dry subject to life with vivid details of the conditions of jails, the performance of the police, and the failures of individual courts in Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. He balanced his reports by describing some of the reform efforts that are under way.

      This was an extraordinary series of 60 reports on Hurricane Mitch, which killed more than 9.000 Central Americans last August. As the storm pounded Nicaragua and Honduras, AP correspondents Niko Price and Ken Guggenheim led a team of 18 writers and photographers to remote villages buried under mudslides and flooding rivers. They chronicled the relief efforts for four weeks, trudging for hours through thigh-deep mud. “Each step requires a Herculean effort to extricate a waterlogged leg from the muck, then the horror of squishing it down in again and praying it doesn’t fall on one of the hundreds of bodies buried beneath,” wrote Price. Bodies decayed in the sun, breeding disease and further misery. With their graphic descriptions and tightly focused analysis, the authors showed that disaster coverage need never sound familiar or routine.

At one point Nachtwey begged an attacker about to slash someone’s throat to stop and, surprisingly, he relented. The crowd turned on Nachtwey, but did not strike. The photographer’s chilling images show us the cost of rage and hatred. We want to turn away, but we are compelled to look.

      Award Recipient Affiliation: The Baltimore Sun

      Award Honored Work: Best Cartoons

      Best cartoons on foreign affairs

      Kallaugher is able to reduce the world’s absurdities and outrages to a few sharp images. He skewers the disconnect between foreign leaders who see a U.S. searching for global dominion and an insular American public more concerned with finding the TV’s remote control. In Kallaugher’s fertile imagination, Serb leader Slobadan Milosevic becomes an octopus who uses a free tentacle to snatch Kosovo while tangling the U.S. and Europe up in Bosnia with another. In another cartoon, President Clinton, in trying to explain his decision to bomb Iraq, finally adopts the Nike slogan, “Just do it!” Kallaugher takes the ironies of the times far beyond their logical extremes to hilarious effect.

      Award Honored Work: "Indonesia in Turmoil"

      Best business reporting from abroad in magazines

      This package of articles offered outstanding reporting on the many things that went wrong in Indonesia as the Asian financial crisis struck home. In the first article, the Business Week team wove closeup reporting into a textured analysis of the unfolding crisis, including an account of why the International Monetary Fund blundered. A second article featured richly detailed reporting on Indonesia’s merchant class, the ethnic Chinese—and why they were singled out for persecution. Lastly the magazine offered an enterprising investigative report on atrocities at a vast liquid natural gas facility in Aceh province, partially owned by Mobil Oil Corp. The article showed how overseas investors who took part in President Suharto’s crony capitalism had became complicit in the regime’s human rights abuses.

      The “girls” of the title are Russian women who answer ads for overseas jobs. When they arrive, their passports are taken away and they are forced to become prostitutes. In effect, they become slaves. The team’s use of undercover video contributed greatly to the piece. The narration followed the entire process of the trafficking of women as commodities. It was both gut-wrenching and enraging. This piece also explained the economic and societal reasons why such practices can flourish.

Mark O’Keefe’s series shed a rare spotlight on the suffering and faith of Burmese Christians living in exile along the Thai border, underground Christians in China, evangelists living incognito in Egypt and Christians taken into slavery in Sudan.

Abuses by corrupt money changers as well as unfair practices by big money-transfer firms were revealed. Dozens of interviews in the U.S. and Mexico uncovered major legal loopholes and weak regulatory oversight that combine to hurt hardworking Mexicans. The series shed enormous light on an issue that the American press has ignored.

      Although it is about an event that occurred in 1993, this graphic, 29-part narrative about the disastrous U.S. military operation in Mogadishu, Somalia, raises jarring questions about America’s role as global peacekeeper and the Pentagon’s control over press coverage of warfare. To dig out the details of this one-day battle, in which 91 elite American soldiers were killed or wounded, the author broke down the military’s wall of secrecy by obtaining classified records and interviewing dozens of participants, including Somalian fighters and members of America’s secret Delta unit.

With vivid, timely, and insightful reporting and analysis, the authors covered the pending fall of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko and foreshadowed the horrors that would follow. Despite bouts of malaria and frequent detentions, the authors traveled widely in the remote war zone to report on the military successes of rebel troops led by Laurent Kabila and the subsequent murder of Hutu refugees.

      It is highly unusual for the Overseas Press Club to permit a single entry to win more than one award. For an exception to be made, the winning project must be extraordinary. That is a fitting description of the book “Requiem,” a compendium of images by 135 photographers who died in Indochina. We couldn’t deny this sometimes moving, sometimes shocking, always fascinating book the Robert Capa Gold Medal, since Capa himself died in Vietnam. And while there were many fine nominations for the Olivier Rebbot Award for the best photography in books and magazines, the judges felt that in that category “Requiem” also stood head and shoulders above the rest. The book was compiled by two men who were both inspired and scarred by their own experience in Indochina. Horst Faas, a senior picture editor at The Associated Press, in 1965 won the Capa award and, in 1972, the Pulitzer Prize for his photos from Vietnam. His co-editor was Tim Page, a British photographer who was seriously wounded in the war. Faas and Page went to extraordinary lengths to compile photos not just from Western photographers assigned to cover the succession of Indochina wars but also from unknown Vietnamese photographers who were assigned, generally as soldiers, to record the war’s victories and defeats, heroes and victims. The work took six years to produce, and the result is a gripping collection of pictures, some of which are very familiar to those with memories of the war, while others have never before been published. These haunting images are a magnificent tribute and testament to the enterprise and courage of 135 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest to bring the truth about Vietnam home.

      Photo editors, especially those who have been in the business for a while, have a tendency to become jaded when looking at ongoing stories. This is especially true for: stories out of Africa, where photos of carnage and disaster from Rwanda, Ethiopia, and other nations have all started to look the same. This years winner of the John Faber Award, John Moore of The Associated Press, was an exception. His collection of photos had a freshness to them. Every picture in his essay was strikingly new and different and brought us a greater understanding of the story.

      In a series of dramatic, on-the-scene reports, Allen highlights the departure of Mobutu Sese Seko as the guerilla forces under Laurent Kabila move into Kinshasa. Scenes of brutality intermixed with footage of people dancing, singing and looting graphically convey the feeling of a nation in transition from a thieving dictator to an uncertain future under Kabila. Allen ably recounts, summarizes and puts into perspective the developing story as the streets scenes swirl around him.

      Best TV interpretation or documentary on foreign affairs

      After the massacre of her village in a church courtyard, a 13-year-old Tutsi girl named Valentina Iribagzia lay gravely wounded, hidden for days among the corpses of her family and neighbors. When he first saw Valentina, BBC reporter Fergal Keane was told that she would probably die, but her face would continue to haunt him. In this powerful portrait of genocide, Keane returns to Rwanda to look back on the 1994 massacre of 800,000 Tutsi by the Hutu majority and to explore the country’s struggle for justice through the story of one girl who miraculously survived.

      Best magazine reporting from abroad

      Newsweek demonstrated thorough and insightful reporting on the historic return of Hong Kong to the Chinese after 156 years of British rule. This excellent collection of stories on the “handover” was the culmination of a yearlong effort involving a team of talented and enterprising journalists who offered thoughtful analysis about the implications for Hong LIU Kong’s — and ultimately China’s — future. First-class fact-finding and seasoned commentary combined to produce a stunning overview on this major chapter in China’s evolution.

      Award Honored Work: “Asia in Crisis"

      Best business reporting from abroad in magazines

      The prime financial story of 1997 was obviously the crisis in Asia. It caught so many journalists off guard that the conventional wisdom is that it came as a surprise. it was no surprise to Business Week, however. Having won an OPC citation for the 1996 cover story “Asia: Time for a Reality Check,” the magazine dropped another warning in February, 1997, with the cover story “Asia’s Bad Banks.” The story rang all the bells that have now become familiar: a condemnation of crony capitalism and a call for “more disclosure, better accountability to shareholders, and less meddling by government bureaucrats.” Nobody who read Business Week could have been surprised when Thailand’s devaluation in July sent tremors throughout Southeast Asia. The three subsequent cover packages gave readers a clear, comprehensive, and prescient view of the continuing disaster. Together, they are financial journalism at its best.

      Best business reporting from abroad in newspapers or wire services

      The Journal’s coverage of Asia’s economic meltdown was by far the most prescient, enterprising, and comprehensive of this year’s entries. In July, 1996—one full year before Thailand devalued its currency—the paper reported that Thailand’s economy was headed for trouble. Then in January, more than 10 months before Korea’s economic collapse, it warned of that impending crisis. With reporters chiming in from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the U.S., the Journal supplied a broad, richly detailed history of the turmoil in all its complexity. The reporting was authoritative, the writing superb, and the explanations of the causes and consequences easy to grasp.

      Smith has produced an intelligent, lucidly written analysis of contemporary Japan. The author gives us a fresh, nuanced, and surprisingly sad picture of a nation that has lost something in its rush to wealth and security, skillfully weaving together a number of themes— the role of women, the impact of cold war politics, and the cult of the Emperor. In his original approach to postwar relations between Japan and the U.S., Smith makes us think of Japan in new ways.

      What began as a local story—the bungled scrapping of an aircraft carrier in the Baltimore area—led the reporters to international ports and an exposé of a business called shipbreaking, in which ships laden with toxic substances are broken apart for scrap and in the process pour tons of PCBs, asbestos, and other pollutants into international waterways — while exposing workers themselves to disease and death. After the publication of the Sur’s series, the U.S. Navy suspended plans to scrap American warships overseas.

Her fascinating slices of Mexican life range from a discussion of the ancient peasant-landlord animosity that is the real fuel behind the uprising in Chiapas to the new realism of Mexican telenovelas, or soap operas. But where Sheridan really shines is in her economic reporting, which elucidates the sharp divide between the “Dollar Mexicans” who are benefiting from the NAFTA-inspired export boom and the *Peso Mexicans” who have yet to recover from 1995’s devaluation and recession.

      The Chicago Tribune showed laudable enterprise in tackling a problem, overpopulation, that is near-universal, studying it abroad and bringing home some lessons to its domestic audience. The paper devoted a year of coverage in seven countries to explore the problem of why people have more children than they can afford. The series should be required reading for those who think there is an easy solution to what the Tribune called “one of humankind’s most vexing problems.”

      Best international reporting in the broadcast media dealing with human rights.

      This series of articles on the slave trade in Sudan was based on a simple idea—to test official denials of a slave trade by going to Sudan and trying to buy a human being. By turns dogged and thoughtful, the two reporters chronicle their travels to south- ern Sudan, where they buy two boys, ages 10 and 12, for $1,000, promptly returning them to a family from which they had been stolen in 1989. Kane’s reflections on his African-American ancestry put the drama in context.

      “China’s New Elite” is a richly detailed introduction to the middle-aged generation of Chinese leaders who survived the Cultural Revolution and are now poised to reshape China. The profiles of political exiles, government leaders, university scholars, and executives of multinational and local businesses that accompany the main story underline the potential influence of this generation as well as the editorial scope of this project. The authors concluded that this generation is cosmopolitan, sophisticated, and wary of rigid ideology. For that reason, they will make an impact on every aspect of Chinese society from business to government to the arts.

      “End of the Good Life” is an insightful examination of the clash between European governments’ budgetary austerity and citizens’ widespread sense of entitlement. It is clear that Europe can no longer afford generous benefits for everyone. This provocative cover story and the accompanying sidebars combine an analysis of the economic forces with the human face of Europe’s economic and social dilemma.

She was able to describe in a clear prose style not only the efforts to identify and contain the virus, but also the toll it took on individual human lives.

      Best international reporting in the broadcast media dealing with human rights.

      The search for Nelson Mackay Chavarria—family man, government lawyer, possible subversive—began one Sunday in 1982 after he devoured a pancake breakfast and stopped out to buy a newspaper. It ended in December, 1994, when his moldering bones were plucked from a pit in rural Honduras. In vivid prose, the correspondents tell how hundreds of Honduran citizens were kidnapped, tortured, and killed in the 1980s by a secret army unit trained and supported by the Central Intelligence Agency. The Sun committed much time and effort to reporting these troubling events in a locale far from the daily concerns of its readers.

      Best daily newspaper or wire service reporting from abroad

      “‘They were just like bureaucrats,’ said one teacher describing the bands of marauders who killed hundreds of thousands in Rwanda. “They started every morning at 7 and quit at 5.'” That was one of the more chilling quotes from Bonner’s powerful portrait of the slaughter in Rwanda. At the core of his reporting were vivid dispatches from the Zairian refugee camps where more than a million Hutus fled after the victory a Tutsi-led army. No reporter did a better job of evoking the horror and pathos of that country’s destruction.

      In her gripping account of a catastrophe in the making, Garrett painted a portrait of a disease that has so far infected just a small part of India’s population. But she then described how AIDS could kill as many as 160 million people in India in the coming decade. She showed how squalid living conditions, rampant prostitution, and government-abetted ignorance could lead to an epidemic that will surpass Africa’s tragedy.

In keeping with the spirit of this award, Nachtwey clearly exhibited both courage and enterprise in documenting the struggle as the world watched the country’s black majority take political control.

      Using thorough reporting and incisive analysis, Lyman makes clear why the U.N. and U.S. humanitarian mission to Somalia has turned into a quagmire of war and chaos. He examines in detail the misperceptions, wrong turns and mistaken goals that resulted in street battles with an elusive “enemy,” General Mohammed Farah Aidid, instead of the peace and stability the U.N. coalition set out to achieve.

His editors are to be commended for allowing him to take the story beyond bureaucracy-bound U.N. headquarters in New York to Cyprus, ex-Yugoslavia, Somalia and El Salvador to examine the undertakings of this “wounded guardian” in the world’s hot spots.

      This story revealed the efforts of the French secret service to spy on American and other foreign business men. It pointed out how the competition between nations may be shifting in this era, from Cold War military struggle to a battle over commerce. The program was highlighted by an exceptional interview in which the former head of the
      French secret service admitted to the covert operations. Although the judges felt there were many unneeded scenes of Paris, the brilliance of the report more than offset this.

In copious footnotes, Dillon documents his sources and amplifies issues which might have slowed the narrative.

The Journal team gave life to Iraq’s economic problems by interviewing Kurdish smugglers swapping mule loads of flour for color TVs. They reported that Baghdad was “so thick with informers and secret police that no conversation is without fear.”

Well-conceived and exhaustively reported, the series also presented an even-handed analysis of the cases to be made for – and against – a war by the United States on Iraq.

Surrounded by sandbags, the central bank chief coolly administers payrolls to all government employees – including both the Moslem and Christian brigades – and attempts to maintain a semblance of normalcy while his country crumbles around him.

      One hundred -thousand neglected children; that’s what Tom Jarriel and his crew from ABC News’ 20/20 found after Romania’s bloody revolution. In three graphic heartfelt reports last year, 20/20 showed the world results of Dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu’s abusive policies toward children, who were often stuffed into orphanages and asylums. By chronicling the personal pilgrimages of two American couples to rescue and adopt Romanian infants, Jarriel’s reports spurred dozens of other American families to get involved in giving new hope to Ceaucescu’s most innocent victims.

      While many newspapers produced outstanding coverage of the tumultuous events in China during 1989, the husband-and-wife team of Kristof and WuDunn managed to convey both the highly visible events in Tiananmen Square and the invisible manipulations of the Chinese leadership. Particularly impressive was their use of anecdotes to convey the feelings of ordinary Chinese in telling the story of the upheaval. “In 1949 we welcomed the Army into Beijing,” said one old man. “Now we’re fighting to keep them out.”

His series “Dismantling Communism” provided exceptional insight into the demise of the Communist-style regimes and subsequent democratic reforms.

      CNN has built its reputation on sustained, 24-hour news coverage, and the China story gave the network new and well-deserved eminence. Bernard Shaw led this remarkable news team, which put CNN’s viewers around the world directly in touch with the events of the day.

      Moscow bureau chief Gumbel explored the nitty-gritty of the daily life of ordinary Soviet citizens to illustrate the paradox of Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy of perestroika: that well-intentioned economic reforms have made life worse, not better. In this two-part series, Gumbel also painted the sad picture of an industrial town in the Ukraine once selected by Lenin to be workers’ “paradise,” now reduced by inefficient management and resistance to reform to an economic and ecological disaster area.

His stories tell more about glasnost and perestroika than reams of copy about the inner workings of the Soviet bureaucracy.

      Award Name: Best General Magazine Article on Foreign Affairs 1988

      Award Recipient: Karsten Prager, Murray J. Gart, Johanna McGeary, Michael Kramer and Ed Magnuson, and reported by Dean Fischer, B. William Mader and Bruce van Voorst

      Award Recipient Affiliation: TIME magazine

      Award Honored Work: "Knowing the Enemy" and “Breakthrough”

      Best general magazine article on foreign affairs

      The magazine’s interview with Yasir Arafat was almost surely one factor in the opening of a new U.S.-PLO dialogue. It represents a breakthrough itself; life imitates art. The second article was an authoritative and interpretative stage setter for understanding later events. It contained a healthy dose of skepticism about what could be accomplished and provides good insights into the role of non-U.S. government people in making U.S. policy.

      Six months after the October 1987 stock-market crash in the United States, Curran countered the view that the steadily rising Tokyo market could be headed for a similar plunge. Based on six weeks of reporting and analysis, he concluded that the Tokyo market was not as overvalued as many investors believed. His work altered the thinking of many analysts.

      The suspense, the buildup and the climax presented in the photos and the text are perfectly executed experiences. The feelings and expressions of the elderly mother and her son are as graphically written and have an impact as good as, if not better than, a television documentary would have.

      Best photographic reporting from abroad requiring exceptional courage and enterprise

      The Robert Capa Gold Medal, for superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise, was won by Jim Nachtwey of Black Star for his pictures in TIME magazine.

      Nachtwey followed at close range the fighting between the Lebanese army and Shiite Muslims in the Chouf Mountains of Lebanon, producing spectacular photographs under heavy fire. It wasn’t his first such exploit. Earlier, he had accompanied a Honduras-based Contra raid into Nicaragua, again bringing the hazards of battle in pictures to the readers, while demonstrating the courage of the combat photographer.

      When Sadat was assassinated and Egypt had elected a new president, the effects of the change were an open question. So Barrie Dunsmore, Peter Jennings and Doreen Kays, ABC commentators with first-hand experience of complex Middle Eastern politics, joined moderator Jon Donvan to explore the question. They offered listeners an insightful and fascinating look into the future, at the probable stability of the Mubarek government, its future relationship with IsraeL as well as with the United States. The discussion, broadcast from Cairo, fully justified its title “Perspective.”

      When Egyptian soldiers sprinted to the reviewing stand and opened withering fire, and others dispersed in panic, ABC cameraman Moussus and soundman El Ashmawy bucked the traffic and courageously rushed in to film close-up the fury of the attack and hysteria of the moment Moussus, French, with broadcast journalism degrees from the Universities of North Dakota and Syracuse, worked for ABC stations in New Haven, Albany and Utica; covered politics, addiction, and features for ABC in New York, and for two years has covered the Middle East, from the Iran-Iraq war, to fighting in Beirut, to Rapid Deployment Forces exercises.

      Best TV interpretation or documentary on foreign affairs

      For this program, part of a CBS Reports series on “The Defense of the United States,” Walter Cronkite visited Moscow to draw a picture of America and its defense posture as seen through the eyes of the Russians. In interviews with Russian authorities vague about their exact posts and guarded in their comments; with Western reporters with broad experience and insights, and probing through published Soviet propaganda on missiles, space, and military, Cronkite skillfully defined the gap in understanding between Russia and the U.S. – and in doing so, made a substantial contribution to lessening that gap.

He describes how Poland’s location, between East and West, has led to a history of occupation, domination, bloodshed recurrent tragedy, and how nationalism and Roman Catholicism, as in the past, have enabled Poland to survive the bleak days of critical shortages and martial law.

Returning months later, he found villages and crops destroyed, and the Soviet occupation established. “This war has become a massacre,” he reported.

      Award Recipient: Joseph Kraft

      Award Recipient Affiliation: The New Yorker

      Award Honored Work: "Letter from OPEC"

      Best magazine reporting from abroad

      Twenty-one years ago Joseph Kraft won the OPC award for his Saturday Evening Post coverage of the Algerian revolt. Fourteen years later, he won it for a series of New Yorker letters, from China, Moscow and Hanoi. This year he wins the award for his Letter from OPEC, again in The New Yorker, a thorough description of the Caracas conference, and of the people, conflicts and negotiations that fix the price the world must pay for energy. It’s an article with grave implications for an oil-hungry world, and closes with a Venezuelan’s observation on oil ceiling prices: “The OPEC countries live in warm climates. We don’t need a roof. The industrialized countries live in cold climates. They’re going to have to build the roof.” Kraft worked for The Washington Post and New York Times before becoming a syndicated columnist. He’s been contributing to The New Yorker since 1971.

      Award Honored Work: "Inside the U.S.S.R."

      Best magazine interpretation of foreign affairs

      For almost a year, TIME correspondents, photographers, researchers and editors, directed by World Editor John Elson, worked to prepare its June Special Issue, Inside the U.S.S.R. They gathered mountains of material-1,000 pages of field correspondents’ files and 50,000 photographs-to provide a sense of the extraordinary complexity of the Soviet Union today.

      Elson, Managing Editor Ray Cave, and Moscow Bureau Chief Bruce Nelan coordinated the staff in assembling sections on the military, economy and business, medicine, dance, energy, religion, cinema, press, law, sports, education, books, music and television in the U.S.S.R. The colorfully illustrated issue presented an excellent interpretation of this vast empire.

      Best book on foreign affairs

      Dan Kurzman has again demonstrated his ability to write a compelling book of history. “Miracle of November: Madrid’s Last Stand-1936,” reports the siege of Madrid effectively through the lives and the deaths of those who fought in the war, as well as those who ordered the fighting. The meticulous research and eye for detail make an accurate sweeping narrative read as clearly and dramatically as a novel, and makes an important contribution to an important area of history. The author of six previous books, Kurzman started his career with International News Service in Paris, and worked for NBC in the Middle East, McGraw-Hill in Tokyo, then joined The Washington Post. While writing books he also reports for the Washington Star-News. He’s been expelled from South Africa, attacked by locusts in Ethiopia, arrested in Haiti, caught in a tribal battle in Afghanistan, and ducked poisoned arrows in Katanga.

      Award Honored Work: "American Faces"

      International reporting in any medium which demonstrates concern for humanity

      The tragic human legacy of war is the subject of award-winner Bill Kurtis’ compassionate video statement: “American Faces.”

      Five years after the last G .I. departed Vietnam, Kurtis and his WBBM-lV crew returned to Ho Chi Minh City. He found the new Vietnamese “untouchables,” the 8,000 children of American soldiers and Vietnamese mothers. Ostracized and outcast by their own society, denied schooling, the children are abandoned to the streets of Saigon. Kurtis’ reports on TV and in The New York Times Magazine were the first on this story. The U.S. has since waived immigration requirements to speed up the reunification of children and fathers.

      Kurtis has been WBBM-lV news anchor since 1973, and is executive producer of a special news team to break major news and investigative stories.

      In “The Migrants 1980,” NBC Reports portrays the miserable living conditions and degrading working conditions of Florida’s migrant farm workers, and aggressively investigates the causes of their plight. In a series of penetrating interviews with landlords, judges, orchard owners, labor foremen, public officials and executives of agricultural corporations, “The Migrants 1980” portrays a pattern that helps explain why the condition of these workers has changed so little since Edward R. Murrow depicted it on television 20 years earlier.

      Award Honored Work: Best cartoons on foreign affairs

      For the second year in a row, Tony Auth of The Philadelphia Inquirer has won the top OPC award for cartooning. The honor includes a $250 gift from the New York Daily News and the National Cartoonist Society. The 33-year old artist, who says he’s been drawing since age five, started as a medical illustrator after graduating from UCLA in 1965. Two years later he switched from drawing intestines to dissecting politics in a weekly cartoon for the anti war underground paper “Open City.” UCLA’s college paper picked up his work and five years ago he joined the Inquirer. His nationally distributed cartoons appear five times a week.

      Award Honored Work: Best cartoons on foreign affairs

      Last March, a quiet, informal party for the diplomatic corps at the Saudi Arabian embassy in Khartoum was shattered by the sudden appearance of two cars full of Palestinian guerrillas firing machine guns. Members of the terrorist Black September, they selected five hostages, holed up in the embassy, and demanded the release of Robert Kennedy’s assassin Sirhan Sirhan, 17 Palestinians imprisoned in Jordan for plotting against King Hussein, two person sympathetic to Black September imprisoned in West Germany, and all female Palestinians in Israeli jails.

      When these demands were not immediately met, three hostages, including two U.S. Foreign Service officers and a Belgian diplomat, were shot and killed. Several days later, the besieged terrorists finally surrendered to the Sudanese.

      “It was an atrocious, outrageous crime,” said Warren King. And so, “motivated by events,” he drew his cartoon, “Let the Punishment…” Said King: “The idea behind the cartoon was to urge Sudanese President Jaafar Numeiry and the world to give the Black September guerrillas the severest penalty, to suggest that these terrorists be shown no mercy.”

      King submits his cartoon ideas to the editor at Daily News story conferences and draws his cartoons on “what is the hottest thing” in the news each day. Sometimes there are editorials accompanying the cartoons; sometimes they stand alone. His style is strong, with heavy black lines, his point of view somewhat mordant. He has won an OPC citation for his work in 1968, and The Society of Silurians Award several times.

His cartoons are distributed to other newspapers through the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. His winning entry for 1972 shows a Vietnamese mother holding a young child. Both are seriously wounded. To the left of the photograph- Mr. Darcy used a photograph rather than art to convey a close proximity to the airline’s ad- there is lettering reading I’m Min Li. Bomb me. The award carries a $250 honorarium contributed jointly by The New York Daily News and the National Cartoonists Society.

      Award Honored Work: Middle East coverage

      Best daily newspaper or wire service reporting from abroad

      As foreign news attention has broadened from its almost exclusive “fix” on Vietnam to include the renewed and increased hostilities between Israel and the Arab nations, so have the reporting talents of Los Angeles Times correspondent William K. Tuohy.

      Last year, his reportage of Vietnam earned him the Pulitzer Prize. This year, OPC judges selected him as winner of the award for best daily newspaper or wire service reporting from abroad for his “wide-ranging coverage of the Middle East.”

      Tuohy, Beirut bureau chief for the Times since December 1968, is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable correspondents in both the Middle East and Far East. He covered the Vietnam conflict both as a Times reporter and Newsweek’s Saigon bureau chief, over a four-year period. As Newsweek assistant national affairs editor, Tuohy wrote cover stories on such subjects as President Kennedy, Senator Goldwater, and the missile crisis. He also was the magazine’s national political correspondent covering the Republican Presidential campaign. He started his reporting career with the San Francisco Chronicle in 1952, after his graduation from Northwestern University.

      He was born in Chicago in 1926.

      His byline has appeared in Reader’s Digest, the New York Times Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, Pageant, The Washington Post, and The New York Herald Tribune.

      Award Honored Work: Nixon Administration's Foreign Policies

      A new administration settling into Washington is a natural magnet for the news analyst. New York Times Washington Bureau Chief, Max Frankel’s assessment of the Nixon Administration’s foreign policies brought admiration from his colleagues and the OPC’s award for best daily newspaper or wire service interpretation of foreign affairs. Frankel, a longtime Times veteran, has been in Washington since 1961. He spent two years as White House correspondent and bureau head in late 1968. Before moving to the capital his major assignments were abroad; most notably, coverage of the Hungarian and Polish uprisings in the late fifties, a three-year tour in Moscow which included a wide-ranging trip to Siberia, and duty in the Caribbean which covered, among other things, the Bay of Pigs. He also covered UN news. Born in Gera, Germany, in 1930, Frankel came to the United States with his family in 1939 after they had been deported by the Nazis. He was educated in New York City and graduated from Columbia College. There he had been editor of the student newspaper, The Spectator, and campus correspondent for the Times. He joined the Times as a full-time correspondent after graduation. In 1964, Frankel was the OPC winner in this same category. JUDGES: John Luter, Prof. John Hohenberg, Prof. John Tebbel

      Best radio interpretation of foreign affairs

      Copy-boy, reporter, columnist, Nieman Fellow, Washington newsman and foreign correspondent–there isn’t much Alexander Kendrick hasn’t done in print of journalism. And, as creator if a recent best seller, he has become an author as well.

      Starting as copy-boy with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kendrick worked his way through almost every job on the editorial side during his 17 years on the staff, with time out for a Nieman fellowship as well. It was as correspondent in Moscow for the Inquirer in 1943that he covered the Soviet advance into Poland and delivered one of the first eyewitness accounts of the Lublin death camp.

      Reassigned to Washington, Kendrick joined the Chicago Sun and returned to Europe for a short postwar stint with that newspaper. He joined CBS news as Vienna correspondent in 1948. Two years later he moved to Washington, and in 1951 he returned to Vienna to report on the European satellite nations. He transferred to London in 1954 and became chief of the CBS London Bureau in 1959.

      Among his notable London assignments, were President Eisenhower’s Asia-Africa tour, President Kennedy’s European tour and the great continuing story of British politics and East-West diplomacy from a London perspective. He was also invited back to the U.S. to contribute analysis to CBS’s coverage of the Presidential nominating conventions in 1960 and 1964.

      Lately Kendrick has found time to write a book about a fellow journalist and long time personal friend, Prime Time: The Life of Edward R. Murrow (Little, Brown 1964).

      Currently based in New York, Alexander Kendrick is a regular contributor to “The World Tonight” and is the anchorman of “The World This Week,” where his award-winning radio interpretations of foreign, affairs have been broadcast.

      In 1962, Kendrick was the OPC winner in this same category.

      Award 1968:

      Class 6

      Best Radio Interpretation Of Foreign Affairs.

      Add one more to the accolades amassed by Elie Abel, NBC News diplomatic correspondent currently stationed in Washington. His analysis of, and report on major developments in the formation and execution of American foreign policy are solidly based on his wide-ranging experience through two decades.

      In 1965 through 1967, he was NBC news bureau chief in London, operating from their all over Europe, the Middle East and the Far East to gather material for his special reports for his network.

      For distinguished achievement in radio news during 1967, he was presented with the Peabody Award commending his NBC radio network series, “The World and Washington”. And in 1966 he received the Columbia Alumni Award for “distinguished service to journalism”.

      Abel has covered many landmark events in the past 20 years. They include the Nuremberg Trials during the several years he spent in Germany; the Geneva Summit Conference of 1955, the Kennedy-Nixon campaign of 1960, the Goldwater-Johnson campaign of 1964, the funerals of John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill and Konrad Adenauer.

      Born in 1920 in Montreal, Canada, he holds a degree from McGill University as well as from Columbia. He is author of “The Missile Crisis”, and has had the satisfaction of seeing his book translated into French, Italian, German, Danish, Japanese and Hebrew.

      Before coming to NBC in 1961, Abel had been a national and point correspondent for The New York Times, and later Washington bureau chief for the Detroit News. At present he is a host of a weekly series of news interpretation programs which concentrate on contemporary world events and their portent. His winning OPC entry was entitled “De Gaulle Faces His Creditors”.

      Award Honored Work: Reporting on European economies

      In the Spring of 1968, when the economy of western European nations churned and seethed, quite a few specialists read and interpreted the fever charts. But translating them into layman’s language and smoothly flowing news story involves a different skill–at which Clyde Farnsworth of The New York Times excels, in the opinion of the OPC judges reviewed the extensive articles in this field.

      His expositions on the problems of the Common Market, the fluctuations of the French franc, and the overall international financial situation, won for him the $500 Fairchild Award as best in class.

      Of a newspaper family–his father was an Associated Press man– Farnsworth is a product of Yale University, class of 1932, who began his writing career on the Yale Daily News and the Yale Literary
      magazine. He went almost directly from college into the Army and was assigned to Korea as a combat medic with the 179th regiment of the 45th division. After the 1953 truce he functioned as an editor-reporter-production man for a mimeographed newspaper for his regiment.

      His whole professional life has been spent on coverage of financial and economic news; for the United Press from 1954-1959; the New York Herald Tribune for the ensuing three years, and the New York Times from 1962. He was assigned to the London bureau in 1963, and since 1966 has been stationed in Brussels.

      He is the author of a book on the credit industry entitled “No Money Down”.

      Award Name: The Asia Magazine Award 1968

      Award Recipient: Bernard Kalb

      Award Recipient Affiliation: CBS News

      Award Honored Work: "The Viet Cong"

      From that part of the world where he has ranged consistently since 1956, Bernard Kalb of CBS News last year produce a television feature on “The Viet Cong”, to which the OPC jury for the category voted first place among the entries, the accompanying $500 in cash. Audience interest in the program was heightened by the inclusion of some film captured behind enemy lines, depicting the day-to-day life of the characters collectively dubbed “Charlie “by American GIs.

      His long and wide acquaintance with the region is a prime asset in the coverage provided from there by Kalb–older brother Marvin Kalb of the same network. Bernie is sometimes identified as “open collar Kabl” to distinguish him from his near relative, who operates from Washington on the diplomatic front and is therefore “button-down collar Kalb”.

      Born in New York in 1933, Bernie Kalb has been one of the globe-trottingest of correspondents, but the assignments “from Greenland icy mountains to India’s coral strand”, or thereabout. After
      graduation from City College of New York he became a news writer in 1946 for WQXR of The New York Times, and in 1955, a member of the foreign staff of that newspaper. His first six months in the post were spent on the Antarctica “Operation Deep Freeze I”.

      1956 to 1961 he was based in Southeast Asia for the Times, the only western correspondent permanently on duty in Indonesia. He transferred in 1962 to CBS News, operating out of Paris until 1965, returning to Vietnam in October, 1966 and now spending up to half his time there, with Hong Kong as his base.

      Prior to his advent of the New York Times, Bernie extended his familiarity with remote places and contrasting climates through two years army service in the Aleutians, where (naturally)he wrote for
      the Army newspaper.

      Award Recipient: John Olson

      Award Recipient Affiliation: Life

      Award Honored Work: The Battle That Regained and Ruined Hue

      In the tradition of the great cameramen it commemorates, the Capa Award for 1968 is conferred for a series of battlefield action shots conveying vividly the stress and the struggle taking place.

      The time was the disastrous Viet Cong Tet offensive last year, the place the furiously contested former capital, Hue. John Austin, the recipient, was a Stars and Stripes photographer at this interval, and only 21 years old. His photographs, published in Life Magazine under the title “The Battle That Regained and Ruined Hue”, were also used extensively by other publications.

      His picture of wounded U.S. Soldiers on the tank is considered by many as possibly the best single photograph yet taken in the war in Vietnam.

      Olsen was born in Evanston Illinois, in 1947 but since 1961 has lived with his family in Wayzata, Minn. His interest in cameras dates back to his tenth year, when his grandfather gave him one as a Christmas present.

      Called up for military service in 1966, Olsen took basic training at Fort Jackson, SC., and then volunteered for Vietnam duty, arriving in Saigon in February, 1967. Six months later he was a combat photographer, remaining with Stars and Stripes until his discharge last June. Under contract to Life, he returned to Saigon for a time, but since February, 1969, has been the magazine staff photographer for the White House.

      He is the youngest photographer ever hired by Life, and maybe the youngest ever to win a major US photographic award.

      Award Honored Work: "The Discipline of Power: Essentials of a Modern World Structure"

      Former Under Secretary of State George W. Ball, author of “The Discipline of Power,” is widely experienced in international affairs but quite different from the popular concept of the diplomatic type.

      His is a twentieth-century, hands-above-the-table approach to world problems that has little in common with the traditional urbanity and circumlocution of the striped-pants coterie. Directness rather than eloquence marks his speeches as well as his writing, and the average newsman, listening or reading, tends to comment admiringly on his articulate presentations.

      Most of his mature years have been steeped in some form of government service in Washington or abroad. He first went there after finishing at Northwestern University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1930 and a Doctor of Laws degree in 1933. Beginning as a lawyer in the Farm Credit Administration, he moved on to the office of the General Counsel of the Treasure Department, for a year. from 1935 to 1942 he was in private law practice in Chicago.

      After Pearl Harbor he returned to Washington as Associate General Counsel of the Lend- Lease Administration, and in 1943 assumed the same position in the Foreign Economic Administration, which had absorbed Lend-Lease. In Paris and London in 1944 and 1945 he served as a civilian with the Air Force Evaluation Board and with the U.S. Strategic Bombing survey, studying the political and economic effects of the air offensive against Germany.

      From 1945 to 1961, again in private practice in Washington, he divided his time between the U.S. capital and western Europe, specializing in international law and commercial relations. The Kennedy Administration brought him back to Government service, as Under Secretary of State of Economic Affairs.

      In April of 1968, at the request of President Johnson, Mr. Ball took a leave of absence from Lehman Brothers- with whom he is still associated- to head the United States Mission at the United nations. He resigned that post last fall, to work in the campaign of the Democratic nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

      Mr. Ball holds the U.S. medal of Freedom, is an officer of the French Legion of Honor, and has been awarded the Belgian Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown. His Recent book was published by the Atlantic Monthly Press.

      Award Recipient: James C. Thomson, Jr.

      Award Recipient Affiliation: The Atlantic Monthly

      Award Honored Work: How Could Vietnam Happen?

      Preoccupation with the East Asian policy of the United States is almost second nature to James C. Thomson, Jr., Assistant Professor of History at Harvard since 1966. From 1961 to 1964 he was Special Assistant, successively, to Chester Bowles, Roger Hilsman, and William P. Bundy and the Department of State in Washington, and later for two years on the National Security Council staff at the White House.

      His pondering on the general theme led to his writing of the Atlantic Monthly Magazine article “How Could Vietnam Happen?”, selected as the outstanding entry in the category of interpretation of foreign
      affairs. It is a second consecutive year that the magazine has scored in this class.

      Although born in Princeton, N.J., in 1931, Prof. Thomson went to yell University, where he received a B.A. degree in 1953. He also holds B.A. and M.A. degrees from Cambridge University in England, and a Ph.D. degree from Harvard.

      He has been equally interested in history of modern China, and has written extensively about the subject as well as on Vietnam. His manuscript on “Americans as Reformers in Kuomintang China, 1928-37″ will be published this year by the Harvard University press.

      Mr. Thomson is a member of the Association for Asian studies, Phi Beta Kappa, and an honorary scholar of Clare College, Cambridge, England.

      Award Honored Work: Gunnar Myrdal Talks about the American Conscience

      For most of the interim since 1950, J. Robert Moskin has been on the staff of Look Magazine–with a few years out during which he served as managing editor of the Woman’s Home Companion and senior editor on Collier’s. In that span he has covered assignments for Look in 23 countries, on subjects ranging from government and foreign policy to the military, science, medicine and the sociological sciences.

      He has produced scores of Look articles, including major features from Vietnam, Israel, Germany, Berlin, Sweden, Puerto Rico, Korea and the United Nations. The 1968 entry that won him the acclaim of a critical panel was entitled “Gunnar Myrdal Talks about the American Conscience”.

      The versatility of his production and the fluency of his style brought him the National Headliners Award in 1967 for “general excellence in feature writing”; and in 1965 he received two national honors for the best magazine writing of the year-one the Page One Award of the Newspaper Guild of New York, the other the Sidney Hillman Foundation Award.

      In the book field he is the author of “Morality in America”, a 1966 Random House publication; and “Turncoat”, the story of an American defector who spent 12 years in Communist China, brought out by
      Prentice-Hall in 1968. He was one of three editors who contributed a series of articles to Look, published by Random House under the title “The Decline of the American Male”.

      Born in New York City, Moskin earned a bachelor’s degree at Harvard and a master’s degree at Columbia, both in American history. He served during the second world war with the U.S. Army in the Southwest Pacific.

      Award Recipient: Liz Trotta

      Award Recipient Affiliation: NBC News

      Award Honored Work: Reports on the Vietnam War

      Animation is an outstanding characteristic of Liz Trotta of NBC News, honored for 1968 reports on the war in Vietnam, on her initial foreign assignment. She has moved fast and far since receiving her M.S.
      from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in 1961 — where she held three paying jobs while
      completing her studies. She taught journalism at Yeshiva University, wrote for the Inter-Catholic Press Agency, and worked on the sports desk of the Long Island Daily Press.

      Cherishing visions of the Hecht-MacArthur type of journalism, she went to Chicago and a reporting job on the Chicago Tribune, but found that that era had passed and that suburban coverage of “births, deaths, marriages and zoning complaints wasn’t what I wanted”. Miami and an interval on the AP staff
      followed, and in 1963 she returned to New York as a city reporter for Newsday. She joined NBC News in 1965, to cover the New York City scene for “Sixth Hour News” on WNBC-TV. Having a preference for political stories, she was particularly pleased that one of her earliest interviewees was the then Mayor-elect John V. Lindsay. For six weeks during the recent Presidential campaign, she was part of a team of five sent by NBC News to trail Senator Eugene McCarthy on Ms tour across the country. Her reports were visible and audible frequently on the “Today” program and on the “Frank McGee Saturday Report”.

      Her memories of off-beat assignments include the launching of a ·balloon for testing air pollution, on which there was one hitch: the balloon wouldn’t rise. Her first question to the man who cut the ropes at the ceremony was, “That’s not the direction it was supposed to take, is it?”

      Award Honored Work: De Gaulle Faces His Creditors

      Add one more to the accolades amassed by Elie Abel, NBC News diplomatic correspondent currently stationed in Washington. His analyses of, and reports on major developments in the formation and execution of American foreign policy are solidly based on his wide-ranging experience through two decades. From 1965 through 1967, he was NBC News bureau chief in London, operating from there all over Europe, the Middle East and the Far East to gather material for his special reports for his network.

      For distinguished achievement in radio news during 1967, he was presented with a Peabody Award commending his NBC Radio Network series, “The World and Washington”. And in 1966 he received the Columbia Alumni Award “for distinguished service to journalism”.

      Abel has covered many landmark events of the past 20 years. They include the Nuremberg Trials during the several years he spent in Germany; the Geneva Summit Conference of 1955, the Kennedy-Nixon campaign of 1960, the Goldwater-Johnson campaign of 1964, and the funerals of John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill and Konrad Adenauer.

      Born in 1920 in Montreal, Canada, he holds a degree from McGill University as well as from Columbia. He is author of “The Missile Crisis”, and has had the satisfaction of seeing his book translated into French, Italian, German, Danish, Japanese and Hebrew. Before coming to NBC News in 1961, Abel had been a national and foreign correspondent for The New York Times, and later Washington bureau chief for the Detroit News. At present he is host of a weekly series of news interpretation programs which concentrate on contemporary world events and their portent. His winning OPC entry was entiled “De Gaulle Faces His Creditors”.

      Award Recipient: Charles Collingswood

      Award Recipient Affiliation: CBS News

      Award Honored Work: Reports from Hanoi

      He long since qualified as one of those foreign
      correspondents you has been everywhere and seen everything, but Charles Collingswood
      of CBS News retains every which of his zest for the fresh, big story. He was in Mexico, only six weeks into a planned sabbatical year 1968, one word came that he had been cleared for admittance to North Vietnam–the first American network newsman to cover the country in recent years. He leaped back into action.

      During the week after his arrival there in late March, he produced the two television features–”Charles Collingswood’s Report from Hanoi”, and “Hanoi: A Report by Charles Collingswood” – which radio audiences saw during April and for which the judging panel handed him the palm in the current OPC awards.

      From Hanoi he went to Paris for the preliminary peace talks that opened last May, resuming the post he has held since 1964, as chief European correspondent for CBS News. He’s currently based in London.

      The peripatetic Mr. Collingswood has been shuttling around the world since 1939, when he was graduated cum laude from Princeton and picked up a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford. He also won a
      scholarship for study of international affairs in Geneva, and was in that capital when the second world war erupted. Abandoning his studies, he joined the United Press as a reporter in London, and two years later transferred there to CBS News bureau under Edward R Murrow.

      In 1942 he won a Peabody Award for his coverage of the Allied invasion of North Africa, and a year later was cited by the National Headlines Club for consistently accurate and interesting reports of
      the fighting in North Africa.

      With the exception of the two-year leave in the 1950s as special assistant to a Averell Harriman then Director of Mutual Security in Washington, Collingswood has been on scene and on microphone for CBS News for three decades, in the places and at the times when history was being made.

      He was one of 16 correspondents to cover the Germans capitulation at Rheims, ending the second world war, and in 1965 in the same city, he reported on “Victory in Europe–20 Years After”. He was his
      networks first United Nations correspondent; has broadcasted on the White House and the President at home and abroad; and on United States involvement in South Vietnam affairs, over the past 10 years.

      His competence has been attested by many awards and honors, including decoration as a Chevalier the French Legion of Honor.

      Award Honored Work: Coverage of France

      As Paris correspondent for Group W (Westinghouse Broadcasting Company), Bernard Redmont relies upon a background of two decades as newsman in Europe, Latin America, the South Pacific and the United States.

      His coverage from the French capital is free-wheeling in the sense that it extends to other European countries as well, occasionally including reports from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and the Soviet Union.

      While based in Paris for the past 15 years, reporting on news developments in France and on the continent, Redmont has become a regular at the ski meets held annually in various countries by an international group of news correspondents.

      He is a past president of the Anglo-American Press Association of Paris, and has been chief correspondent for the English-language world news service of Agence France Press. He is an “alumnus” of the old Brooklyn Eagle; a New Yorker by birth and a Vermonter by adoption. During his post-graduate work at Columbia University School of Journalism he won a Pulitzer traveling scholarship. Redmont has been correspondent and bureau chief in Buenos Aires for the magazine U.S. News and World Report, as he was later in Paris. In the second world war he directed the news division of the Office of Inter-American Affairs, supervising short· wave broadcasts throughout South America. He also served as a Marine combat correspondent in the Pacific, acquiring a Purple Heart at Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.

      Award Recipient: Peter Rehak

      Award Recipient Affiliation: Associated Press

      Award Honored Work:

      Peter Rehak of the Associated Press was the right man in the right place, when Soviet troops crossed the border of Czechoslovakia last August 20 while a collaborator cut off the microphones of the announcers on Radio Prague. While the black-out lasted, the population remained unaware of what was happening. Rehak, who was born in Bratislava in 1936 and speaks Czech, Slovak, French and German, was in the Alcron Hotel in Prague when the radio receiving sets went dead. He sensed immediately that some ominous development was occurring in the politically disturbed situation of the country. From his familiarity with the communications systems in Prague, he recognized the possibility that the Communists who had silenced Radio Prague might have forgotten to throw the switch also on an auxiliary public-address system through which announcements of general interest are “piped” into the city’s restaurants and other meeting places. His hunch was correct. Remembering that one such outlet was available in the hotel’s garage, he slipped into that area and listened to the broadcast in Czech, revealing that Soviet forces were already inside the country, and that the population was asked to offer no resistance. How he managed to get out the news flash that apprised the rest of the world of the development has not been revealed, but his exclusive was one hour ahead of all other media in reaching the outside. In Washington concurrently, Secretary of State Dean Rusk was testifying before the Democratic platform committee, when he was handed a copy of the AP bulletin. The Secretary passed it to the committee chairman, Representative Hale Boggs of Louisiana who read it into the open microphone.

      Award Honored Work: Starving Children in the War of Extinction in Biafra

      An American, an Italian and an African-born Indian produced the poignant Life Magazine feature, “Starving Children in the War of Extinction in Biafra.”

      David Robison is a native New Yorker who earned his B.A. degree from Bard College and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia on a fellowship grant. He was one of the earliest correspondents in Biafra and is credited with arousing world opinion with his reports and pictures of the tragic situation there, through photographs published in England, France, Holland, Germany and Italy as well as the United States.

      Priya Ramrakha, who was born in Nairobi in 1935, the son of an Indian Consular official, was one of nine correspondents ambushed by Biafrans while on a Time magazine assignment with Nigerian troops. Shot in the arm and in the back, he died an hour later in the University Hospital in Lagos.

      Priya became a stringer photographer for Time and Life after being graduated from Duke of Gloucester Prep School in 1953. From 1959 to 1962 he attended the Art Center School in Los Angeles. His dream
      had been to settle in the United States permanently.

      Only a few years ago, Romano Cagnoni was one of the eager horde of amateur cameramen known Italy as “paparazzi”, who will go to any length to get a salable picture. He’s one of the few who have graduated into the professional ranks.

      Best Reporting, Any Medium, Requiring Exceptional Courage And Enterprise Abroad

      Peter Rehak of the Associated Press was the right man in the right place, when Soviet troops crossed the border of Czechoslovakia last August 20 while a collaborator cut off the microphones of the announcers on Radio Prague. While the black-out lasted, the population remained unaware of what was happening. Rehak, who was born in Bratislava in 1936 and speaks Czech, Slovak, French and German, was in the Alcron Hotel in Prague when the radio receiving sets went dead. He sensed immediately that some ominous development was occurring in the politically disturbed situation of the country. From his familiarity with the communications systems in Prague, he recognized the possibility that the Communists who had silenced Radio Prague might have forgotten to throw the switch also on an auxiliary public-address system through which announcements of general interest are “piped” into the city’s restaurants and other meeting places. His hunch was correct. Remembering that one such outlet was available in the hotel’s garage, he slipped into that area and listened to the broadcast in Czech, revealing that Soviet forces were already inside the country, and that the population was asked to offer no resistance. How he managed to get out the news flash that apprised the rest of the world of the development has not been revealed, but his exclusive was one hour ahead of all other media in reaching the outside. In Washington concurrently, Secretary of State Dean Rusk was testifying before the Democratic platform committee, when he was handed a copy of the AP bulletin. The Secretary passed it to the committee chairman, Representative Hale Boggs of Louisiana who read it into the open microphone. His world beat led to his ouster from Czechoslovakia, the Government there having refused to renew his visa when it expired in September. He was reassigned to the AP bureau in Bonn, but has since been transferred to Vienna, to strengthen the coverage of eastern European affairs. Rehak’s reports from Prague about the Czech struggle against Soviet domination, and about the invasion, won for him the 1968 award of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association for outstanding work by a staff member of the wire service, in addition to the OPC distinction. While still a boy, Rehak was taken to Canada by his family and grew up there.

His most recent Vietnam assignment was from January to July, 1960.

      In April, 1966, he covered Buddhist riots in Hue, Da Nang and Saigon, and was on hand for last year’s Viet Cong Tet Offensive, in early January, 1968.

      Excerpt from the 1968 Dateline for The Lowell Thomas Award 1967:

      Best radio interpretation of foreign affairs

      James Robinson and Wells hanging, NBC, for “red China: struggle for power.”

      Welles Hangen, a later comer to the Asian region, has been established in Hong Kong since August, 1966, with eyes and ears trained on the colony’s nearest neighbor. Before taking up his present assignment he spent a year at Columbia University on a fellowship from the Council on Foreign Relations, in intensive study of the Chinese language and of far Eastern politics. At present he has wedged himself firmly into the inner circle of knowledgeable China-watchers.

      As a prelude and an aid to his grasp of Chinese affairs, he has had years in West Germany, India and the Middle East for NBC news, and earlier, others in Moscow, Turkey and Germany, for the New York Times. His book The Muted Revolution – East Germany’s Challenge to Russia in the West, make him an OPC award winner last year– which may be why the face is familiar.

      Between them James Robinson and Wells Hangen have mustered 33 years as foreign correspondents, which helps to explain the excellence attributed to their NBC documentary on “Red China: Struggle for Power,” adjudged best in category 6.

      Robinson who came to NBC as Tokyo bureau chief in 1952, has covered the Far East from Korea to Vietnam to mainland China and pre-Communist days. Before turning to journalism, he was a teacher at Tsinghua University in Peking.

      Award Recipient: Linda Grant Martin

      Award Recipient Affiliation: The New York Times Sunday Magazine

      Award Honored Work: "The Story of the 37-year War of the Village of Tan An Hoi"

      Linda Grant Martin wrote “The Story of the 37-year War of the Village of Tan An Hoi” (Vietnam) on assignment for the New York Times Sunday Magazine. To the OPC panel judging category 9, it was a top reporting job “in writing, organization of material, continuity, impact and feeling.” To its author it
      has become a bittersweet memory because of the tragedy it foreshadowed. Tan An Hoi typified the
      villages she had known, where the pacification program had failed dismally; where the Communists
      moved back in, the day after the anti-Communist teams moved out, labeling them “secure” alter months of effort. “When the Viet Cong launched the Tet offensive,” Linda recalled, “I read the story again and found it was all there-the signs that it was coming, as all of us in Vietnam could see it would.”

      From her first visit to the community, she was challenged as a CIA agent by the aloof and suspicious
      villagers. (Not illogically! Still in her middle twenties, she is slender, blue-eyed, blonde and beautiful.) Her credentials as a journalist convinced few, and by her eighth visit most doors were closed against her. She told it as it was. After obtaining her degree in journalism from Northwestern University, Linda’s first job was as associate copy editor for the Saturday Evening Post, in New York. Later, as a researcher for Newsweek, she met and was married to Everett G. Martin, chief of the magazine’s Saigon bureau, in 1965. From there, as a free lance, she wrote articles for various periodicals.

      In January, 1968, resentful about Newsweek’s attitude toward the war, the Government of South
      Vietnam requested the Martins to make their exit within seven days. They were on leave in the United
      States until April 1, when they resettled in Hong Kong, from where they will continue to report on Vietnam developments.

      Award Honored Work: Commentaries on Evening News programs with Walter Cronkite

      Eric Sevareid, internationally acclaimed for his adroitness with the pungent, often poignant phrase, is back for the second consecutive year on the list of OPC award recipients.

      This time he is given the salute in category 8, for his week-night commentaries on the television news program of CBS headed by Walter Cronkite, on topics as far ranging as the unpredictability of baseball scores, and the profundities of the international monetary system under onslaught by speculators in gold. Poker-faced whatever his mood of the moment, from frivolity to solemnity, he is an oracle for millions of auditors to whom his reasoned, articulate opinions, constitute a caress to the ear, regardless
      of their content.

      A year ago Eric Sevareid was as easily distinguished, for his excellence in the written rather than the spoken word. He took the OPC title for the best magazine interpretation of foreign affairs with his interview in Look with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Fulbright, on “Why our Foreign Policy is Failing.”

      Television’s gain was the newspaper field’s loss on the one time club reporter of the Minneapolis Journal traded his ballpoint pen for a tape recorder. In the intervening years, a plethora of distinctions from various media testifies to the keenness of his news sense, and to his expertise in projecting it to the looking and listening world.

      Award Honored Work: "Indonesia: The Troubled Victory" and "Laos: The Forgotten War"

      Ted Yates, a casualty of the Arab-Israeli war on June 6, 1967, had a facility for infusing each documentary he completed for NBC with a quality peculiarly his own. The realism was often harsh,
      sometimes ironic, never contrived.

      In 1966 the OPC named him recipient of the Ed Stout award for best reporting on Latin America, on the basis of his feature on the civil war in the Dominican Republic, made, as was noted then, while he and his cameramen and crew were “being shot at by friends on both sides.”

      He had gone to Israel from Asia, where he had shot the two graphic programs, “Indonesia: The Troubled Victory” and “Laos: The Forgotten War,” with his co-workers Robert Rogers, associate producer, and Julian Townsend, cameraman. For these programs Ted Yates was judged this year’s winner for the best television reporting from abroad.

      Yates was born in Sheridan, Wyoming; was an alumnus. of the University of Virginia, and had been in television practically from its infancy, starting with the Dumont TV Network in 1949. In the intervening years his productions had been.honored with most of the major awards given for television news programs.

      The loss of a man like Ted Yates is a grievous one for family, friends, and news associates. He will
      be remembered for what he did. He will be missed for what more he would have done.

      Peter Skingley, United Press International, for “Move to the Rear” and “Line of Arab Defeat” in the Israel-Arab war.

      London-born Peter Skingley got his start in the fabled precincts of Fleet Street in 1944, when he was
      only 14 and the second world war had not yet ended. He has followed a logical course, always associated with photography, from the early days when he trotted from one newspaper office to
      another, delivering prints from Planet News (which was taken over in 1952 by United Press).

      His next stint was as darkroom assistant. From there he went into the Royal Air Force (1948-1950), as a photographer. In civies once more, he returned to UPI as a full-fledged camera man, and to numerous assignments both on his native heath, and in Africa and the Middle East. In 1951, with his collection of trophies for his work already impressive, he emerged in Britain as photographer of the year. At the World Press Photo competition in The Hague in December, 1967, he won first and third prizes in the “spot news” category, with two of his views of the Israeli-Arab war. One of the two also tied for second place in the artistic (pictorial) category. He has only recently returned from a two-week
      assignment in Israel- a sequel to his coverage last June.

      Award Recipient Affiliation: Newsday and The New York Times

      Award Honored Work: "A Dove in Vietnam" and "Vietnam: The Signs of Stalemate"

      Call Michael R. McGrady of Newsday a dissenter and you won’t be far wrong. His series “A Dove in Vietnam,” which claims one-half of the award in category 2, stemmed from his disagreements with-among others-the Johnson administration, his own newspaper’s policy on the war, and John Steinbeck
      in a column from East Asia published in Newsday in April, 1967. Steinbeck had expressed puzzlement that writers could object violently to the Vietnam hostilities without having been there. Conceding that Steinbeck had a point, however, McGrady proposed to Harry F. Guggenheim, Newsday president, that he be assigned to cover the war at least temporarily, “to demonstrate the paper’s policy of fair play
      and independence.” The result was his “Dove” series, which will be published in hard cover next month (May) by Funk and Wagnalls.

      Now 34, McGrady has been with Newsday since 1962, after stints with Associated Press, the Schenectady Union Star and the Newspaper Enterprise Association. He was the 1965 winner of the National Headliners Award for consistently outstanding columns, for his work in Newsday. A native New Yorker and graduate of Yale, he is the author of five other books, and of articles in various
      magazines including Saturday Evening Post.

      As a thoroughly professional wrap-up of a complex and critical situation, R. W. Apple, Jr.’s analysis
      of “Vietnam: The Signs of Stalemate” in the New York Times brought a shared award in category 2 for a correspondent who has long teamed ability with initiative. “Johnny” Apple, whose tour of duty in Saigon as correspondent and chief of bureau lasted from September, 1965, through January of this year, broke into reporting on the Wall Street Journal in 1956, after attendance at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, his native State. From 1957 to 1959 he had a stretch of Army service,
      during which he moonlighted as a reporter for the Newport News (Virginia) Daily Press. Returning to the Journal, he covered varied fields and in the process learned the reportorial art of the “takeout” by dint of frequent exercise with such extended articles. Concurrently he attended night courses at Columbia University, was graduated cum laude in 1961, and earned the John A. Krout prize as best undergraduate history student.

      Two years with NBC followed, as writer on the Huntley-Brinkley program and as a news man with occasional assignments abroad as well as in the southern United States. He moved to the New York
      Times in 1963, going from general assignments to the Robert Kennedy campaign; to Albany bureau chief; and from there to Saigon. In that locale he met and married Edith Smith, a former U.S. foreign service officer, in October, 1966. Last January he was a winner of a George Polk Memorial Award from Long Island University, for foreign reporting. At present he is again a Manhattan resident, assigned by the New York Times to cover the national political campaign, chiefly responsible for news about
      Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

      Award Honored Work: Red China: Struggle for Power

      Welles Hangen, a later comer to the Asian region, has been established in Hong Kong since August, 1966, with eyes and ears trained on the colony’s nearest neighbor. Before taking up his present assignment he spent a year at Columbia University on a fellowship from the Council on Foreign
      Relations, in intensive study of the Chinese language and of Far Eastern politics. At present he has wedged himself firmly into the inner circle of knowledgeable China-watchers.

      As a prelude and an aid to his grasp of Chinese affairs, he has had years in West Germany, India and the Middle East for NBC News, and earlier, others in Moscow, Turkey and Germany, for the New York
      Times. His book The Muted Revolution-East Germany’s Challenge to Russia and the West, made him an OPC Award winner last year which may be why the face is familiar.

      Between them, James Robinson and Welles Hangen have mustered 33 years as foreign correspondents, which helps to explain the excellence attributed to their NBC documentary on “Red
      China: Struggle for Power,” adjudged best in category 6. Robinson, who came to NBC as Tokyo bureau chief in 1952, has covered the Far East from Korea to Vietnam to mainland China in pre-Communist days. Before turning to journalism, he was a teacher at Tsinghua University in Peking.

      Award Recipient Affiliation: ABC

      Award Honored Work: Vietnam coverage

      “Don North is very hard on tape recorders,” the ABC bureau cheif in Saigon once cabled to the network’s New York headquarters, about the correspondent tapped by a jury of his peers as the award winner in category 5. Contemplating his exploits to date and the dedication he exhibits toward this prime tool of his reportage from anywhere and everywhere- he frequently carries two recorders into the field, just in case- it is not difficult to understand why.

      For a youngish man, he has covered much territory and plenty of action. Since joining ABC two years ago he has spent most of his time in Vietnam, carrying out more than 100 assignments from the Saigon bureau. Of these, dozens were combat missions, during which he got close to the action to record the sights, sounds, and impressions for which the judges sent him to the head of the class.

      Canadian born, Don North began in television 10 years ago with the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), In Vancouver, Thereafter he plied his trades of radio, television and newspaper correspondent in far corners of the world, from Cuba to India. In Hong Kong, he worked for the China Mail, and covered the guerilla war in Borneo. In India he freelanced, and taught English to Tibetians. In Cuba, where he managed to worm into somehow during the missile crisis, he was apprehended and spent a week in the pokey.

      His next adventures are anybody’s guess. They may be east, west, south, or even north.

      Award Honored Work: Memoirs 1925-1950

      George F. Kennan’s Memoirs 1925-1950 met formidable competition in category 11 as the best book on foreign affairs. The volume presented a distinctive combination- international events of recent history recalled, details of happenings of moment behind closed doors, and analysis by a diplomat whose service to his country is beyond question.

      Mr. Kennan, no stranger to the OPC, is a Milwaukeean who joined the United States Foreign Service in 1925 at the age of 21. His tours of duty placed him in one after another of the troubled capitals of Europe during tense months before and during the second world war. His writings and his recollections reflect the color of those periods, as only one closest to them could relate them.

      After his formal retirement in1953, at the close of a year as Ambassador in Moscow, he went to the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton; taught there and at the University of Chicago, and was a viciting professor at Oxford in 1957-1958. From 1961 to 1963 he came out of retirement to serve as United States Ambassador to Yugoslavia, then bowed out once more.

      His various books on diplomacy and foreign policy have amassed for him a noteable collection of awards. He has been a careful observer and a shrewd assayist of men and of situations, capable of presenting expressive word portraits throughout his extensively documented chronicles.

      Award Honored Work: Series on the devaluation of the British pound

      The unmistakable touch of the pro that characterized Ray Vicker’s lucid and detailed series in the Wall Street Journal on the devaluation of the British pound made him a repeater this year of the E.W. Fairchild Award. He captured it first 1963, and followed with an honorable mention in the same category 1965. Established in 1958 as a tribute to the best business news reporting from abroad, it carries an honorarium of $500.

      Ray Vicker long ago qualified as an authority on developments in the economic sphere, by virtue of the length and scope of his background. He had preliminary experience as a useful reporter on his home-town
      paper, this St. Point (Wisconsin) Journal, where he “covered everything from obits to police reporting for $60 a month for a 10-hour day.” But since 1946, when he emigrated to the Chicago Journal of Commerce, he has, in a sense, made business his business.

      The Chicago paper was purchased by the Wall Street Journal in 1951, and until 1959 Ray remained with it, becoming a news editor in 1958. The next year he was transferred to New York, and in 1960 to London, from which and since when he has functioned as the news editor in charge of European coverage of the Wall Street Journal.

      While attending college – in St. Point, Los Angeles and at Northwestern–he freelanced and roamed widely and profitably working at an assortment of jobs from cotton picker to jackhammer operator. In World War II he served with the Merchant Marine.

      Award Honored Work: Cairo coverage

      Eric Pace of the New York Times merited the OPC George Polk Memorial Award for 1967, the judges decided unanimously, for an episode that particularly fitted the tradition associated with the namesake of the award. In brief, he worked as a “loner,” and so intent on his objective as to be next to oblivious to other things happening around him.

      In the wake of the Arab defeat in the Mid-east war last June, American and other foreign correspondents were expelled en masse from Cairo. Pace, who had received identical warnings and instructions, neither defied them nor followed them. He simply went ahead gathering and filing the news as he had previously, openly but practically always on the move.

      For three days after all of his American associates had left, he continued to report on events in Cairo and to get off his cables, without being apprehended, expanding appreciably the volume of information available to the West on what was happening in Nasser’s capital in that important and historic period.

      After his seizure and expulsion, no blackout on developments followed, although cessation of his reports left a definite gap. He had from the outbreak of hostilities managed by one device or another to circumvent the censors, sometimes by placing a series of calls to Times correspondents all over Europe, and dictating in note form until he was discovered and cut off. These fragments were pieced together into finished stories, like the sections of a jigsaw puzzle. From Cairo, on June 14, he went to Beirut, where he was based until last October, when the Egyptians once more allowed him to return.

      A native New Yorker, Eric Pace got part of his education in West Germany, in the American school at Augsburg during the occupation, while his father was serving with the Counter-Intelligence Corps. He entered Yale at the age of 16, and was graduated magna cum laude in 1957 with a B.A. in history. He has been a New York Times man since 1965, with earlier experience on 1he San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times, where he won a Texas A.P. Managing Editors’ Association prize for feature writing. He served in the Times bureau in Saigon from June to October, 1966, and was assigned to Cairo from there.

She has known the country from the outside in and from the inside out, even from the inside of a jail into which she was tossed by Castro’s militia for 19 hours in 1960. “Our woman in Havana,” was recognized by the OPC with a 1961 citation in the category of best reporting on Latin America.

      Following the 1962 missile crisis, she managed to spend 28 days in the country, emerging to write her articles that earned her triple honors. Two conferred by the OPC – one for the best magazine reporting of
      the year, the other the Ed Stout award for the best report on Latin America – making her the third individual to when dual recognition from the OPC in one year (1963). The Newspaper Guild Page One Award for best reporting completed her trio.

      Currently she is lauded by the OPC judges for a 14-page article on her latest trip to the island incorporating “penetrating impressions of Cuba playing host to a world gathering of revolutionaries, and her own face-to-face confrontation with Castro.”

      Excerpt from the 1967 Dateline for The Lowell Thomas Award 1966

      Best radio interpretation of foreign news… NBC news

      A National Broadcasting Co. Radio News program, “Diary of a Hero,” featured the taped letters of helicopter pilot Major Donald A. Reilly – the most decorated Marine in Vietnam – to his wife. He was killed during a medical evacuation mission.

      Reilly, 38, was posthumously awarded awarded the Navy Cross, Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Air Medal (with Gold stars).

      On December 9, 1965, Major Reilly flew an armed helicopter for seven hours and supported ground operations. That night, in marginal weather, he volunteered to have an accurate 11 wounded Marines. While attempting to bring his helicopter into the besieged landing zone, Major Reilly was hit. He crashed and died later.

      During nine months in Vietnam, he flew 298 missions, including 133 medical evacuations as well as armed escort duty, aerial observation and reconnaissance flights.

      Reilly earned the Distinguished Flying Cross during Operation Starlight, when two of the three helicopters he flew was forced out of action by ground fire, and the third was hit as he directed artillery fire in effort to relieve a beleaguered amphibian tractor column.

      “He was not fearless,” wrote his commanding officer, “but he always had the courage to do what he thought must be done in spite of the risks involved.”

      The NBC program was by James Holton in Wilson Hall.

      Henri Huet of The Associated Press was chosen for the “stark beauty of his black-and-white photographs, his courage under fire – all in the best traditions of humanistic war photography that Robert Capa believed in.”

      Huet, 40, has more experience in taking pictures of fighting in Vietnam than any other photographer.

      Born in the Dalat, South Vietnam, of French and Vietnamese parents, Huet was educated in France, where he studied art and photography. He joined the French army as a combat photographer, and served three years covering France’s fruitless efforts in the Indo-China War.

      Following his military service, Huet works for nine years as a photographer for the United States Information Service. He then spent several months with United Press International before becoming a member of the APs Saigon staff in 1965.

      Larry Burrows of Life magazine has been selected for the Capa Award for the second time, a testimony to his courage and ability. “With a Brave Crew in a Deadly Flight” appeared in the April 16, 1965, issue of Life. “His photographs taken, on board a helicopter over Vietnam, are excellent,” the judges said, “his followup of the story on the ground is skillful and journalistically superior and his exceptional courage is amply evident.”

      Burrows, an Englishman, worked for Keystone Photo Agency and the London Daily Express before he joined Life in 1961.

      He has covered violence in Cyprus, the Congo, China-India and elsewhere. A Life teammate once said “Larry is either the bravest man I ever knew—or the most nearsighted.”

      Excerpt from the 1965 Dateline for The Robert Capa Gold Medal 1964:

       

      Robert Capa Award for superlative photography, requiring exceptional courage and enterprise

       

      HORST FAAS of the Associated Press works as the late Robert Capa worked—close in where danger, death, and heart-stopping pictures lie. Faas’s brand of photo journalism earned him OPC citations in 1963 and 1964, and wins him this year’s Capa Award.

      Front-line troops rarely see more of the brutality of fighting than Faas’s lenses, because, since 1960, Faas has generally been right alongside them. Sent to the Congo, Faas performed with total disregard for danger. Captured and beaten by insurgent Katangan troops several times, he came away with pictures that drew editors’ commendation. Displaying some valor in Algeria, he was sent on to war-ridden Vietnam in 1962.

      In his months at the Vietnamese front, Faas has survived helicopter crashes, Vietcong ambushes. In one, fully a third of the Vietnamese troops were slain. In another, Vietnamese and their American advisers fell only yards where Faas was recording the action.

      On the promise of a chance to photograph Vietcong training in rough back country, Faas set out with 50 Kohor tribesmen. Four days later they ran into an ambush. The survivors took to the hills and ridges, ran two days without water, went another four before they reached their own camp.

      “It was the first time I ever at 16 cans of Spam in one week,” Faas recalls. In his pack were 5,000 piasters ($50), put there when a Vietnamese commander, eyeing Faas’s 220-pound frame, warned that his troops probably would not carry a wounded Faas very far without pay. Despite his up-front style, he still hasn’t had to spend his 5,000 piasters.

      ROBERT CAPA AWARD

      For Superlative Photography Requiring Exception Courage and Enterprise Abroad 

      Peter Dehmel and Klaus Dehmel, NBC News

      Shooting film with a hand-held camera…lying prone in cramped areas… changing film every 100 feet surrounded by sand and mud…a single light source precariously rigged…To all these difficulties add the need for utter secrecy in filming the construction of an escapee route from East Berlin. For shooting NBC News’ “The Tunnel” under these circumstances, Peter Dehmel and Klaus Dehmel received the Robert Capa Award for superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise abroad. For Peter, 28, “The Tunnel” was his first assignment as principal cameraman. His brother Klaus, 25, was assistant cameraman on the story.

      TWO AWARDS: BEST MOVIE PHOTOGRAPHY FROM ABROAD; THE ROBERT CAPA AWARD:

      Yung Su Kwon, NBC

      For coverage of the Japanese riots at the time of James Hagerty’s arrival last June

      The peril faced by Press Secretary James Hagerty last June during the Japanese riots was shared by Yung Su Kwon, NBC’s staff cameraman in Japan. That Kwon managed to remain upright, handle heavy sound equipment, and capture on film the angry mood of the rioters as well as Hagerty’s rescue by helicopter is a tribute to his skill and courage. It also won him two OPC awards this year. His one great ambition is still unfulfilled: a trip to the United States to study techniques. Kwon was born in Korea in 1913 and went to Japan in 1932. He graduated from Nippon University in 1938, then operated an educational newsreel business. In 1946 he was employed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps and covered the front lives in Korea. He lives in Tokyo with his wife, three sons.

      Award Honored Work: Recording the Nicaragua revolt from both sides at great risk

      Mario Biasetti, “for superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise abroad,” is the winner of the Roberta Capa Award. A six-year veteran with CBS, the 31-year-old cameraman has captured this prize for his superb CBS News coverage of the abortive revel invasion of Nicaragua. The day after the rebels invaded the coast, Biasetti landed at Managua. Mingling with soldiers, Biasetti filmed government troop activity until he was arrested by military police. En route to headquarters, he turned his camera around and recorded himself in custody. During the subsequent two-hour grilling he also filmed the proceedings. After his release, Biasetti set off for the front, soon outdistancing the government troops. In mountainous jungle terrain, 150 miles from Managua, Biasetti made contact with the rebels. When informed by him of the size of the government detachment, the rebels quit.

      Award Honored Work: Coverage of Lebanon

      Excerpt from the 1959 Dateline on the Robert Capa Gold Medal:

      This award, which keeps alive a memory that needs no nudging, goes again to a man who kept his mind on his work.

      Photographers who can read (and there are more of them than you might think) must wonder sometimes why this guy gets prizes and that guy does not. The answer probably is that the guy who got the prize was the guy whose pictures were used. They’re all heroes, in an unrecognized, second-class-citizen way, and not a one of them would belittle an award made for performance in the tradition of Bob Capa. Paul Bruck, this year’s winner, qualifies for what the awards committee judged to be “superlative motion picture photography achieved despite the difficulties of shooting his story while under fire during the Lebanon street fighting.” Bruck is a Viennese whose schooling was stopped because he couldn’t qualify under Hitler’s race-standards. He did his time in forced labor and in the German army and in forced labor again. When Hitler’s film ran out, Bruck went to work for Warner-Pathe News, won a 1953 prize at the Vienna Biennale and wound up in 1954 with CBS. The operation in the Lebanon may not have been such great shakes as a war, but Bruck was there and he shot his story. More power to him.
