Women's Media
Foundation Courage in Journalism Awards
The International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) is calling for
nominations from around the world for its 2008 Courage in Journalism
Awards and Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Courage in Journalism Awards will honour three women working in the
news media who have demonstrated extraordinary strength in pursuing
their profession in the face of government oppression, political
pressure, physical danger or other intimidating circumstances.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a woman journalist who has a
pioneering spirit and a strong commitment to press freedom, and whose
determination has paved the way for future generations of women in the
media.
The awards, of at least $5,000 apiece, will be presented in
October/November 2008 in New York City and Los Angeles. The awardees
will spend approximately two weeks in the United States, as guests of
the IWMF, making appearances at these ceremonies and other events, and
participating in press interviews.
Nominees for both awards must be full-time, part-time or freelance women
journalists working in print, broadcast or online media in any country.
Candidates for the Lifetime Achievement Award can be retired
journalists.
The deadline for nominations, including all supporting documents, is
March 1, 2008.
