  • 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.

  • Wrong to Begrudge Colleagues, I Want to Share with You
    Subject: Hard not to admire; wrong to begrudge Colleagues, I want to share with you bittersweet news I first learned a week ago. Emily Lenzner, whose work I deeply admire, is leaving us in favor of a posting that is hard to begrudge her. Emily has accepted an offer by the Motion Picture Association to become their Executive Vice President for Global Communications. Who among us wouldn't go with her? Emily has been a remarkable success in her six years in the top rank of our company. She is part of the team that resurrected the reputation of The Atlantic, a levitation so wholly against the odds that it is hard to believe. Similarly, she promoted National Journal and Government Executive as they reintroduced themselves to the Washington market with new products and new business models. Emily managed the departure of Quartz as we sold the publication to Uzabase and she welcomed Emerson Collective and Laurene Powell Jobs as they joined us at The Atlantic. Where I came to know Emily best were in the hardest hours. Emily took the lead when reporters chose to cover missteps in my leadership of media. Of far greater significance, Emily proved the principal personal support to a handful of families whose children disappeared into the hands of ISIS, al Nusra and Mideast dictatorships. Emily started simply advising hostage families on their media strategies. But, as have so many of us here, the families became close to Emily, leaning on her kindness and bedrock support. What I learned of Emily is that she is shot through with finest character.

  • Conflicted: the New York Times and the Bias Question Epilogue CSJ-10
    CSJ‐ 10‐ 0034.2 PO Conflicted: The New York Times and the Bias Question Epilogue New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller’s rebuttal ran adjacent to Ombudsman Clark Hoyt’s column on the Times’ website on February 6, 2010. Neither Hoyt’s column nor Keller’s response ran in the paper. Keller opened by offering a quick and forceful endorsement of the Times’ Jerusalem bureau chief, Ethan Bronner. Then Keller argued that the decision to keep Bronner in Jerusalem was made out of respect for open‐minded readers who, he said, Hoyt improperly implied were not capable of distinguishing reality from appearances. He noted that the paper’s rulebook properly gave editors wide latitude to act in conflict of interest cases. Indeed, he continued, a journalist’s personal connections to a subject could contribute depth and texture to their reporting. As examples, he cited C.J. Chivers, Anthony Shadid, and Nazila Fathi. However, he chose not to go into detail about their biographies. Nor did he write about columnist Thomas Friedman and the instances in which he was touched by the Israeli‐Palestinian conflict. Instead, Keller observed that, as a reader, he could discern nothing in these journalists’ reporting that betrayed their personal feeling about the issues they covered. Finally, he closed with the argument that the paper had to be careful not to capitulate to partisans on either side of a conflict. To submit to their demands would rob the paper of experienced journalists like Bronner, whereas in fact the partisans were incapable of fairly evaluating him. This did not mean, he said, that he was denying the significance of Bronner’s family connections to Israel.
