Bob Schieffer
ICFJ presented CBS Anchor Bob Schieffer with the Founders Award in honor of his lifetime committment to excellence in journalism.
This video clip summarizes Schieffer's career in journalism including some of his career peaks.
"When Dan Rather stepped down following the National Guard document scandal, at 68, Schieffer took the helm at The CBS Evening News. He was truly an anchor in turbulent times... there were highs... like his exclusive interview with President Bush... but also some very difficult days... like when he had to report on the roadside bomb that killed CBS cameraman Paul Douglas, soundman James Brolan, and nearly killed correspondent Kimberly Dozier.. while on assignment in Iraq"

 Shadha al-Jubori
This BBC Arabic Service reporter received the Knight International Journalism Award in honor of her courageous and high-quality reporting in the dangerous country in the world for journalists: Iraq.
"Reporting in Arabic… She has covered the Abu Graib prison scandal… the trial of Saddam Hussein… and insurgent attacks in Sadr City and Najaf. And she refuses to play it safe. Shunning the veil, Al-Jubori goes into the streets to talk to people about their fears and hopes. She gives her listeners a true sense of the torn fabric of life in her divided homeland"

 Drago Hedl
Drago Hedl, of the Feral Tribune in Croatia, also accepted the Knight International Journalism Award for his top reporting on war crimes in the former Yugoslavia republic, among other topics.
"As he continues to stare down danger (intimidators), Drago Hedl says his strongest motivation comes from ordinary people who stop him in the street and whisper: "'Please don't give up. We are on your side.'"

Bagila Bukharbayeva
When she reported the truth after the Andijan protests in May, 2005, the Uzbek government - unimpressed with her stories in the Associated Press - forced her into exile and threatened her family. Now she continues to report on the results of that day from Kazakhstan, as the Central Asian Bureau Chief for the AP. She was honored at ICFJ's Awards Dinner with the 2006 Paul Klebnikov Prize for Courage in Journalism.
"I knew that of course the government wasn't happy with the stories that I wrote, but I knew I am not doing anything wrong," Bagila has said. "I am a journalist and I have a right to do this."
