  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

  • Human Rights Activists in the Castros' Cuba
    i TAKING THE FIRST STEPS: HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS IN THE CASTROS’ CUBA ___________________________________ By DAN SANTELLA ___________________________________ A THESIS Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of the Creighton University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of International Relations _________________________________ Omaha, NE January 27, 2017 ii iii For decades, Fidel Castro had essentially limitless power and a constant megaphone to accompany it; his voice and opinions on all topics have been projected and disseminated ad nauseam in Cuba. This thesis gives the podium to the dissenters (especially to Oswaldo Payá and Yoani Sánchez), their arguments against Fidel and Raúl Castro’s government, and corresponding fights to realize their goals. This thesis inquires: to what extent have internal Cuban human rights advocacy movements, organizations, and activists been successful in influencing change in the Cuban government’s respect for and protection of human rights? This thesis proposes that while full protection of human rights for all in the Castros’ Cuba was and is not yet a reality, the work of internal Cuban human rights activists has not been in vain. This thesis examines treatment of human rights in the Castros’ Cuba by way of utilizing both quantitative and qualitative information. The collective conclusions about the lack of respect for and protection of human rights in Cuba identify these concerns as significant and worthy of international attention.

  • How and Why U.S. Honors and Aids Al Qaeda
    How and Why U.S. Honors and Aids Al Qaeda By Eric Zuesse Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, June 25, 2017 Theme: Media Disinformation, Terrorism, The Saker 20 June 2017 US NATO War Agenda In-depth Report: SYRIA This will present a typical example in which the U.S. promotes Al Qaeda and other jihadists, and then honors that promotion by calling this PR not “propaganda” as it really is, but instead outstanding “news reporting,” and then honors that “news reporting,” with prestigious ‘journalism’ awards from the Overseas Press Club, and The Peabody. Throughout, the jihadists in Syria are being referred to in these ‘news’-reports as ‘the rebels’ and they are backed by the U.S. government, and (obviously) also by the aristocracy that own (and advertise in) the ‘news’ media, and whose lobbies also apparently control the President, and the Congress. Deception of the American public, by the American press, is that blatant and that egregious, as will here be documented (but will continue to be suppressed by the ‘free press’ in this ‘democracy’ where the press never exposes its own systematic lying — as will here be shown). Documentation for everything here will consist of excerpts from the relevant news-reports themselves (so the story will be told by the evidence itself), and will close with excerpts from an AlterNet news report by Ben Norton, which was vastly more worthy of winning journalism awards than anything from CNN (or any of the others) has been, but is suppressed instead of pumped, by the U.S. press.
