International heroes honored in NYC
Mayor Bloomberg, New York Times columnist David Brooks and NBC's Ann Curry are among the big names slated to attend tomorrow's Courage in Journalism awards at the Waldorf Astoria.
The event, hosted by the International Women's Media Foundation, this year honors three women fighting for something New Yorkers take for granted — free press.
Farida Nekzad edits at an Afghan newspaper despite daily threats to her life. Sevgul Uludag has brought international attention to ethnic killings in Cyrus. And Aye Aye Win works battling repression by Myanmar's military junta, a group highlighted recently when news on the hurricane and the monk protests was nearly impossible to get.
