Writers, like other artists, are indispensable to a society because they express and deliberate its ideas and ideals. We all profit from the lively exploration— in poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, books and movies, television and blogs—of the challenges that face us singly and together. In spite of the economy’s continued uncertainty, your steadfast commitment to our work has helped us free imprisoned writers and journalists, challenge torturers, mobilize writers as human rights advocates, challenge First Amendment violations, and sustain a rich conversation of voices from this country and abroad. As we have from the very beginning, we have brought together writers and readers across national, cultural, and religious divides. We are immensely grateful for your support. Nothing quite so embodies our efforts over the past year as the conferral of the Nobel Peace Prize on Liu Xiaobo, China’s most renowned writer and political activist. PEN has been leading the international campaign for Liu, who was a past president of the Independent Chinese PEN Center, our colleague organization on the ground in China. Through a protest rally viewed worldwide, the promotion of a Congressional resolution recognizing Liu’s critical role in the struggle for free expression in China, petitions, and delegations to Beijing, we have kept up the pressure to free Liu and the other jailed writers and journalists in China. PEN’s targeted advocacy work has also focused this year on the release of writers and journalists of conscience imprisoned in Cuba, Iran, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka; and on the U.N. Human Rights Council, where we contributed to the rejection of a proposed treaty criminalizing religious defamation internationally. At home, a major lawsuit filed by PEN and other organizations and the assistance of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped bring an end to our government’s practice of “ideological exclusion.” We celebrated by producing an event with Tariq Ramadan, an Islamic scholar and now Oxford professor who was denied a visa on religious grounds six years ago when Notre Dame offered him a tenured position. Our Core Freedoms Program concentrated on promoting accountability for torture and other post-9/11 human rights abuses of detainees in U.S. custody and building a consensus for reform. In partnership with the ACLU, we launched the compelling and innovative “Reckoning with Torture” documentary project, which reached sold-out audiences in New York and Washington. The sixth annual PEN World Voices Festival demonstrated the power of literature to promote a more expansive world view by bringing an international literary fellowship to New York. More than 100 writers from 40 countries participated, among them Ben Okri (Nigeria), Maziar Bahari (Iran), Alina Bronsky (Russia), Ariel Dorfman (Chile), and Roddy Doyle (Ireland). Prominent P en A m E r i c an c ente r ann u A l r ep o r T 2 0 0 9 - 2 0 1 0 0 4 << P r E v i o u s NEXT >> American or U.S.-based writers, including Toni Morrison, Shirley Hazzard, Sebastian Junger, and Jonathan Lethem, helped draw audiences for important international authors who are not yet well-known in this country. Public events held under the aegis of the Festival, included Iran: A Conversation about the Elections, Protest, and the Future, which was held immediately following Iran’s disputed election before a sold-out house at the 92nd Street Y. The 2010 PEN Literary Awards was a lively affair with Don DeLillo receiving the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction and the addition of three new awards: the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, the PEN/Edward and Lily Tuck Award for Paraguayan Literature, and the PEN/W.G. Sebald Award for a Fiction Writer in Mid-Career. This report covers the period from July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, marking a change in our fiscal year to conform to the calendar year. The one-time eighteen-month cycle necessarily affects some year-to-year comparisons, but the improvement to our financial planning capability that the changeover will bring more than justifies the temporary complications. We would like to express our gratitude to you by sharing an excerpt from the invitation PEN American Center received to the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony: Your outstanding work has inspired many Chinese freedom fighters like Mr. Liu and myself. Your brilliant efforts in “Free Liu Xiaobo” are truly admirable and indispensible to our cause, hence we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and to become personal friends “with you. I earnestly hope that you will join us in Norway to share the glorious moment in celebrating Mr. Liu’s courage and accomplishment. - Yang Jianli, former political prisoner and friend to Liu Xiaobo It is a thank you to all of you who have contributed so generously to PEN. ” With warmest regards, K. Anthony Appiah Steven L. Isenberg President Executive Director P en A m E r i c an c ente r ann u A l r ep o r T 2 0 0 9 - 2 0 1 0 0 5 << P r E v i o u s NEXT >> FrEEDOM To WRITE Writers who are subjected to state censorship, threatened with imprisonment “or menaced by violent forces in their society clearly merit the support of those of us who enjoy freedom of expression. There are things a writer never takes for granted, like the long life he will need to live in order to write the long novel he is trying to write. Maybe freedom to write belongs at the top of the list, on behalf of those writers who face the grim reality of being enemies of the state. -Don DeLillo ” Since 1921, PEN has been the leading international voice on behalf of persecuted writers and freedom of expression. PEN American Center is the largest of the 145 centers of International PEN in 104 countries. For over 50 years, the Freedom to Write Program has fought censorship and defended imprisoned and persecuted writers around the world. Recently, we have seen alarming evidence of more governments using violence and imprisonment to silence their citizens’ voices, including those of China and Egypt, and now many more countries in the Middle East. That is why PEN American Center’s free expression work is more important than ever to put pressure on those governments that try to bury their divisive issues and silence their dissenters.

    MEDIA RELEASE June 26, 2017 CHINA RELEASES 2010 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE AND FREEDOM NOW CLIENT LIU XIAOBO ON MEDICAL PAROLE Liu reportedly has terminal liver cancer; he and his wife Liu Xia must immediately be given access to counsel and international community Washington, D.C. – Liu Xiaobo, China’s most prominent dissident and recipient of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, has been released on medical parole after he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Dr. Liu is receiving treatment in the north-eastern city of Shenyang after receiving the diagnosis in May, according to his local lawyers. “We are grateful for Dr. Liu’s release, but are deeply disturbed by the circumstances under which the Chinese government granted him parole,” said Jared Genser, Founder of Freedom Now and pro bono international counsel to Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia since mid-2010. “It is unconscionable that the government neglected Dr. Liu’s health, despite repeated calls from the international community to ensure proper care. The Chinese authorities must provide Liu Xiaobo open access to his counsel and to the international community so that his wishes at this difficult time can be ascertained and honored,” he added. Liu Xiaobo is a scholar and pro-democracy activist imprisoned for his role in drafting Charter 08, a political manifesto that calls for increased rule of law, greater respect for human rights, and the end to one-party rule in China. The Chinese government detained Dr. Liu on December 8, 2008 — two days before the official release of Charter 08. The government held him in solitary confinement and denied him access to his lawyers.

    POINT OF VIEW: EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by CRISTINA DAGLAS John Fennell, Thesis Supervisor MAY 2009 © Copyright by Cristina Daglas 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled POINT OF VIEW : EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD presented by Cristina Daglas, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.
