Peter Mackler Award
My blogs
| Introduction | The Peter Mackler Award honors reporters and editors who have demonstrated a commitment to fairness in the story well told, and a matching commitment to defending the right to publish and air that story in countries who repress independent media. The award was founded in 2008 by Peter Mackler's family in recognition of his life-long dedication to fair and accurate journalism. It is a project of the Global Media Forum Training Group, a non-profit dedicated to journalism training and the US branch of Reporters Without Borders, an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of journalists and freedom of the press worldwide. The name of the winner is announced every year on August 22nd, Peter's birthday, and the award ceremony is held at the National Press Club in Washington DC on the third Thursday of October.
