    Public Affairs News Service News Release Wednesday, March 30, 2011 Writer/Contact: John F. Greenman, 706/542-1081, [email protected] UGA Grady College honors former Current TV reporters with McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage Athens, Ga. – Two reporters taken captive by North Korea during a reporting trip on human trafficking will be honored by the University of Georgia for journalistic courage. Laura Ling and Euna Lee will receive the McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage on April 20, in the Grady College for Journalism and Mass Communication. “These women showed extreme courage and tenacity,” wrote Florida A&M University journalism professor Valerie D. White in one nomination. “They were the epitome of grace and courage and an inspiration for journalists around the world,” wrote Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Janet H. Cho in another. Ling and Lee had traveled to China to document the trafficking of North Korean women in China for Current TV. On March 17, 2009, they were detained by North Korean soldiers along the border with China. They were held captive in North Korea for 140 days before being granted a special pardon and returned to the United States. Ling and Lee were selected from journalists nominated by reporters, editors and academicians from across the U.S. Nominees were to be “working U.S. journalists whose career has exemplified journalistic courage.” The selection was made by the 2010 class of McGill Fellows, 12 undergraduate and graduate students chosen for academic achievement, practical experience and leadership. “As soon as they were in custody, the women’s first priority was protecting their sources,” wrote Omar Lewis, the McGill Fellow who researched the nomination.

Founded in 1975, the thrust of the Forum’s work is to help develop cooperative policies in the Asia- Pacific region through debate and analyses undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic/business, and oceans policy issues. It collaborates with a network of more than 30 research institutes around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating its projects’ findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and publics throughout the region. An international Board of Governors guides the Pacific Forum’s work. The Forum is funded by grants from foundations, corporations, individuals, and governments, the latter providing a small percentage of the forum’s $1.2 million annual budget. The Forum’s studies are objective and nonpartisan and it does not engage in classified or proprietary work.

  • Comparative Connections a Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations US-Korea Relations: Smooth Sailing in the Wake of Cheonan Victor Cha, Georgetown University/CSIS Ellen Kim, CSIS The sinking of the Cheonan remained the predominant issue in the US-ROK relationship as both countries spent the quarter coordinating and undertaking punitive measures against North Korea for its alleged attack on the ship. The UN Security Council adopted a Presidential Statement condemning the attack but did not directly blame North Korea. The US and the ROK held their first “Two-plus-Two” meeting in Seoul where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates met Foreign Minster Yu Myung-hwan and Minister of National Defense Kim Tae-young. While countries reopened their dialogue channels in the hope of resuming the Six-Party Talks, there remain many challenges and uncertainties that make the future direction of the Talks unclear. Several issues remain to be resolved on the KORUS FTA while negotiators are expected to hold a ministerial meeting soon to strike a deal. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs released a report on US attitudes toward South Korea that highlighted public support for trade agreements, including the KORUS FTA, is lukewarm. Among those who viewed fair trade as critical for US interests, support for KORUS was much stronger. Cheonan round 1: UN Presidential Statement Tension persisted from the beginning of this quarter as countries tried to reach agreement on the UN Security Council measure over the sinking of the Cheonan. While tireless wrangling and unyielding negotiations between the US and China continued over the language of the Presidential Statement to be issued, North Korea threatened to start a “death-defying war” if the statement condemned North Korea for the sinking of the Cheonan.
