I met Nadine Hoffman at WPFD. If you have any outstanding female journalists, she is looking for nominations for International Women’s Media Foundation 2012 Courage in Journalism and Lifetime Achievement Award.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Michael, 

Thanks for your note.  Congratulations on your successful World Press Freedom Day conference!

 

We just announced our 2011 Courage in Journalism and Lifetime Achievement Award winners yesterday – you can read the release here: http://iwmf.org/honoring-courage.aspx

Our Courage winners are Adela Navarro Bello of Mexico, Parisa Hafezi of Iran, and Chiranuch Premchaiporn of Thailand.

As we plan for our Courage Awards ceremonies in October, we also begin the process of identifying candidates for next year.  We don’t have the 2012 nomination form up yet, but I’m including the 2011 nomination form for your reference. 

Here is an overview of the candidate criteria:

Courage in Journalism Award:  Competitive candidates will exhibit extraordinary strength of character, bravery and perseverance in reporting the news; have a strong commitment to press freedom and be well-respected journalists who have shown a commitment to journalism exemplified by a willingness to continually put their life or their freedom at risk to produce a body of work in the face of government oppression, political pressure, physical danger or other intimidating obstacles. Candidates must currently be full-time, part-time or freelance women journalists working in print, broadcast or online media in any country. Candidates employed by organizations whose main objective is not journalism will not be considered for this award.

Please send any leads my way - and thanks for spreading the word!

All the best,

Nadine

Hi Nadine,

Thank you for your email.  I’m just coming up for air after WPFD, but I will circulate this to my media folks here to see if we have any nominations. I have already sent this out to my Country Director in Iraq, to see if she has any Iraqis in mind. 

 

In the mean time, can you send me more information about the award criteria, that would be very useful.

All the best,

Mike
