Welcome to the 2018 Chatham House Prize Award Giving Ceremony. We’re delighted that you have come and joined us this evening. This event is quite obviously on the record and being livestreamed as well. So, I’d like to welcome all of the Chatham House members, who are not with us physically in the room, who did not brave the weather like everyone else did here, to come and join us. And I’d just like to remind you, make sure your phones are on silent and also, that you take the opportunity, as this is all on the record, to tweet away, if that’s what you like to do, with #CHPrize. With that, I do want to get this going, ‘cause we have a long sequence of remarks and events and really want to give as much time as possible for us to be able to then engage in conversation up here on the stage, with a number of our distinguished guests. So, what I would say is Excellencies, Lords, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Chatham House and to this Awards Ceremony. I’m delighted that so many of our members are here, but also, we have members of our Council, of our Panel of Senior Advisors, and also, representatives of the very vibrant Diplomatic Business Civil Society and student communities here in London, whom you’re all representing by being with us this evening. I want to say a special words of thanks right at the beginning to the lead sponsor and founding sponsor of the Chatham House Prize, which is Shell. They’ve supported the Prize since its launch in 2005 and are actually the longest standing corporate member of the Institute, going back to the 1920s. So, we’re especially pleased that their support would let us do justice to this very special event in our annual calendar. The Chatham House Prize is in its 14th year and it is presented to the person, persons or organisation deemed by Chatham House members to have made the most significant contribution to international affairs in the previous year. The selection process, as I think you would expect from Chatham House, is independent, democratic and draws on the input of our Research Teams and departments across the Institute, making the prize a unique award, we think, in the field of international affairs. The Institute’s three Presidents: Sir John Major, Baroness Eliza Manningham – Baroness Manningham-Buller and Lord Darling select a short list of nominees from a longer list, which is submitted by our Research Teams, based on their areas of expertise. The recipient is then determined, by Chatham House members, on a one member, one vote, basis and the prize is presented on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, who is the Patron of Chatham House, here at the ceremony. And I’m delighted that Eliza Manningham-Buller has been able to join us this evening to make the award. What I’m going to do, though, first of all, is just formally announce here to all of you here, as you well know, that the award this year has been presented, or is being awarded, to the Committee to Protect Journalists. And let me turn to the citation that was offered to Chatham House members in this case. The Committee to Protect Journalists is awarded the prize, in recognition of its efforts to defend the rights of Journalists to work without fear, at a time when the free press is under serious and sustained pressure in many parts of the world. A free press is an essential check and balance on Government by scrutinising policymaking and public administration and helping to promote honesty, accountability and transparency in the exercise of Executive, legislative and judicial power. But, as the rules-based liberal norms have come under increased pressure over the last decade, and as technological advances have given the world a variety of platforms to publish news opinion, so the Fourth Estate has found itself facing a number of challenges in fulfilling this watchdog role. Chief among these challenges, as recent events have tragically demonstrated, is ensuring that Journalists are not only free, but safe, to report the news without fear of reprisal. 4 The Chatham House Prize: The Committee to Protect Journalists So, Excellencies, Lords, ladies and gentlemen, it’s now my great pleasure to introduce Frans Everts, Executive Vice President of External Relations at Royal Dutch Shell, who, as the lead sponsor of the Chatham House Prize, will offer some initial words of welcome to this year’s winner. Frans, let me invite you up to the stage first [applause]. Frans Everts Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I’m delighted to be here. It’s an honour for Shell to be involved with this prize, especially this year, when the winner is such a strong defender of free speech, at a time when the media faces so many challenges across the world. Yes, there are now a multitude of ways to report the news, but there are now also, a multitude of ways to silence it. And as we all know the Committee to Protect Journalists, it is fitting that we’re here, in the home or the house of free speech. Chatham House thrives on open discussion and truth telling and it has done so for close to 100 years. Shell’s been a member, as was referenced already, since 1929 and our ties are strong and we are proud to have been associated with this prize since it started in 2005. Shell believes in free speech and the rights of a free press and I say this as part of a sizeable company, whose coverage is not always favourable. We believe that the powerful should be held to account, that an individual should be able to stand up, speak out and report on facts without fear. To be healthy as a company, as countries, as a world, we all need the tellers of truth, especially when facts themselves seem to be under increasing assault these days. A society must protect its free press and ask questions when Journalists are bullied, berated and silenced, when they disappear, or when they die for their work. The Committee to Protect Journalists is just such a guardian. It steps in when there’s danger to the media or its freedom to report. The first CPJ campaign in 1982 contributed to the release of three British Journalists jailed in Argentina. The Committee has not stopped since, logging disappearances, keeping track of the imprisoned, publishing data on the attacks on the press. And I will give you just one number from the CPJ website: 1,324. That is the number of Journalists killed between 1992 and 2018 and as the site puts it, “They were killed with motive confirmed, killed for being Journalists.” I have no doubt that the number would be even higher, were it not for the work of the CPJ. Last year, it was involved in the release of 75 Journalists. It also helped to secure convictions for the murders of six Journalists. The CPJ fights for the courageous, many of them unsung, local correspondents, working tirelessly to tell the truth that others want hidden. That is why, frankly, I’m honoured to share the stage with Joel and why I’m delighted that we can celebrate the work of such worthy winners of the Chatham House Prize. Thank you very much [applause]. Dr Robin Niblett CMG Frans, thank you very much for those very strong words and for pointing out the very important role that the Committee to Protect Journalists has been playing for so long. It’s now my very great pleasure to invite Baroness Manningham-Buller, Chair of the Welcome Trust Board of Governors and a President of Chatham House, one of the three who put the Committee to Protect Journalists onto our shortlist, to present the prize to Joel Simon, Executive Director of the Committee, on behalf of our Patron, Her Majesty the Queen.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM STORIES FROM THE FRONT LINES: FEMALE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS IN WAR ZONES JENNIFER CONNOR SUMMER 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Journalism with honors in Journalism. Reviewed and approved* by the following: Tony Barbieri Foster Professor of Writing and Editing Thesis Supervisor Martin Halstuk Associate Professor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to examine the experience of women who cover war and conflict zones, with a special focus on those reporting in Iraq and Afghanistan. When western female war correspondents work in male-dominated cultures and situations of war, they encounter different challenges and advantages than male war correspondents. The level of danger associated with the assignments these women take on is evaluated in this thesis. Anecdotes from female war correspondents themselves, combined with outside analysis, reveal the types of situations unique to female war correspondents. More women choose to follow the story and witness history in the making by covering today‟s war and conflict zones. This trend parallels the greater presence of women in newsrooms, today. This thesis will shed light on what it means to be a female reporting on and working in dangerous conditions. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Part 1. Introduction……………………………………………………………………………....1 Part 2.

The Technology and Social Change team (TaSC) researches media manipulation and disinformation at scale. TaSC conducts research, develops methods, and facilitates workshops for students, journalists, policy makers, technologists, and civil society organizations on how to detect, document, and debunk media manipulation campaigns that seek to control public conversation, derail democracy, and disrupt society. TaSC is led by sociologist Joan Donovan, PhD, Research Director of Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center, and a field leading expert in online extremism, media manipulation, and disinformation. DISINFORMATION AT SCALE THREATENS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION WORLDWIDE Comment of Joan Donovan, Emily Dreyfuss, Gabrielle Lim, and Brian Friedberg of The Technology and Social Change Team at the Harvard Shorenstein Center1 The human right to freedom of expression includes the right to have access to such expression. Increasingly, that access is threatened by social inequalities and the technological systems that hold the world’s information. Within the fragmented media ecosystem of the 21st century, opaque algorithms, policies, and enforcement mechanisms determine what information is available to whom.

Nonetheless she felt like someone close. Someone I could very easily be friends with and have a glass of wine talking about the last movie we saw. I had seen a few videos and interviews online featuring her relentless spirit, her uplifting attitude and restless photojournalistic mission. When I read her book, “It’s What I Do”, I felt even more interested in her work and her persona. She was a champion of focus, commitment and bravery paired with positive attitude and a very human heart. We also had some things in common. She is a freelance working mom, like me, more or less my age. We share friends on Facebook, and often read and “like” the same articles on photography and news. However, Lynsey, for me, is a heroine. She travels the world non-stop to be a witness to social injustice, war and humanitarian tragedies and many other neglected issues, giving voice to people and light to places, that are left in the shadow when the media frenzy fades.

Our top stories this week include: A recap of our April 16 book night with John Maxwell Hamilton about his book, Manipulating the Masses: Woodrow Wilson and the Birth of American Propaganda. OPC Past President Bill Holstein has summarized a recent donation of about 40 books with ties to club and member history. To kick off a series of mini-reviews from the archive, he wrote about a book called Deadline Delayed. We published a remembrance page on April 20 to recognize the 10- year anniversary of the deaths of Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, who were both OPC Award winners. Happy reading!

A new book by OPC member John Maxwell Hamilton examines the history of the Committee on Public Information, known as the CPI, how its legacy “managed to shoot propaganda through every capillary of the American blood system,” and set the stage for U.S. government media manipulation over the last century. On April 16, Hamilton discussed the book, Manipulating the Masses: Woodrow Wilson and the Birth of American Propaganda, with OPC Past President Allan Dodds Frank.
