  • 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.

  • Chronicling the Soldier's Life in Afghanistan Transcript
    Perspective Shifts Interviewer So today is May the third— Sebastian Junger Yeah. Interviewer 2011.  We’re in the studios of West Point Center for Oral History with Sebastian Junger.  And Sebastian, I would like to ask you—you know, there’s a lot of material we can go into, but since we’re here at West Point I’d like to focus on your most recent work, and ask you to tell me when you first got interested in war. Sebastian Junger I mean, I just have the assumption that every little boy is interested in war.  I remember growing up, you know, and all the adults that I knew had fought in World War II.  And when we played war, some of the boys had to play Germans, and no one wanted to play Germans, and everyone wanted to be Americans.  And the Vietnam War was going on, and so it started deploying with that.  But you know, like I—since I was a little boy, I mean it’s just—it’s exciting to pick up a crooked stick and pretend to shoot it at somebody.  I mean it says terrible things about the human species, I suppose, but that’s what little boys do—or a lot of them. Sebastian Junger And—but then after Vietnam, the Vietnam War was so controversial, and I—you know, I came from a part of society—Massachusetts, pretty liberal background—that was very, very against the war.  And the whole enterprise and the military and everything, I was just—found really unpleasant and distasteful, and that started to change after I started covering wars myself.

  • Wmc Investigation: 10-Year Analysis of Gender & Oscar
    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Michael Kamber
    Why Photography WHY PHOTOGRAPHY Michael Kamber I grew up in a time, in the 1960s and 70s, when photographs made a difference. My family got The Portland Press Herald every morning. There was always a black-and-white news image on the front page. This photo was a representation of an important event in the world from the previous day. Weekly news magazines, such as Time and Newsweek, were packed with photos too; I pored over them eagerly, occasionally cutting photos from their pages. They were my only links to far-off happenings in a distant world. The iconic photos of the civil rights movement in particular were burned into my consciousness. I studied the defiant marchers, snarling dogs, and pot-bellied Southern sheriffs with insouciant grins. Pictures from the Vietnam War changed my consciousness as well. We watched grainy clips on TV every evening. Yet it was the photos, rather than the news footage, that seared the deepest. I remember the photos and the photographers: Larry Burrow's color work from the field of battle, exhausted men and blood-stained ban- dages against the brown earth; Henri Huet, a French-Vietnamese As- sociated Press photographer, took pictures with the eye of a poet; the classic images that I would see again and again in my youth: Eddie Adams' Saigon execution photo; Nick Ut's picture of the napalmed girl running down Highway One. These photos were credited with 69 CREATIVE LIVES turning the American public against the war. These photos provided evidence of people's lives, their suffering, American foreign-policy failures; realities that needed to change.

  • Africa Loses a Friend Tim Hetherington
    Africa Loses a Friend – Tim Hetherington Published here courtesy of New Africa Analysis The acclaimed British photojournalist and film maker, Tim Hetherington, died in a mortar attack in the besieged city of Misrata, Libya, on 20 April 2011. He was aged 40. I had the privilege of knowing and working with him during my time as the British High Commissioner to Sierra Leone and subsequently. His death came as a deep shock. I did not even know that he was in Misrata but it did not surprise me. Tim was always in one of the “hot spots” of the world, fearlessly bringing the “human touch” to the most appalling conflicts. The last time we had been in touch earlier this year was to congratulate him for being nominated for an Oscar for the documentary he and his colleague Sebastian Junger had produced, Restrepo, which documented the lives of US soldiers in Afghanistan, after they had spent a year embedded with a group of US soldiers in one of the most advanced and dangerous “hot spots”. Tim possessed the “human touch” in abundance. It was what gave him his special skills as an acclaimed photographer and film maker but more importantly his unique compassion as a friend and humanitarian. He saw himself more as a storyteller than a reporter. Always sensitive to those around him, as The Times obituary said of him, “his interest was not so much the inhumanity of war as in the humanity of those caught up in it.” Just days before his death he was making thousands of cheese sandwiches on board the vessel taking him into the port of Misrata for those fleeing the horrors of the Libyan conflict.
