International Center for Journalists Awards Dinner
Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke, U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, will give the keynote address. At the dinner, Holbrooke will also be honored for his distinguished career in public service. Holbrooke was a member of President Bill Clinton's cabinet, serving as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from 1999-2001. Prior to that, he was Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and chief architect of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the war in Bosnia. As a private citizen, he later became President Clinton's Special Envoy to Bosnia and Kosovo and Special Envoy to Cyprus. In 1993-1994, he was the U.S. Ambassador to Germany. He also served as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs during the Carter Administration.
The ICFJ Founders Award is a tribute to three visionaries who started the International Center for Journalists 24 years ago. This year, Seymour Hersh, of The New Yorker, will receive this award for his long-standing commitment to the highest standards of journalism.
The Knight International Journalism Award recognizes media professionals worldwide who have taken bold steps to keep citizens informed despite great obstacles.
The 2009 winners, Cao Junwu of China and Chouchou Namegabe Nabintu of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, were selected for their ability to tell important stories that others have shied away from despite the risks.
The International Center for Journalists Awards Dinner 2009 will be held on November 12, 2009 from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20004.
