Two Lebanese journalists acclaimed in Washington
13 November 2010
BEIRUT: Two Lebanese journalists have been acclaimed for their work in the field at the Washington-based International Center for Foreign Journalists (ICFJ). Washington Post columnist David Ignatius hailed Tewfik Mishlawi and Nora Boustany during a speech at the ICFJ ceremony in which Ignatius received the center’s “Life Achievement Award.” Mishlawi is publisher and editor of the Beirut-based Middle East Reporter newsletter, and Boustany is a former Washington Post correspondent. Ignatius called Mishlawi and Boustany his “heroes” for telling the truth “even when it’s risky to their very lives to do so.” Ignatius called Mishlawi his “teacher” when he covered the Middle East for the Wall Street Journal. As for Boustany, Ignatius called her “quite simply the bravest journalist I ever met … The fact that she was barely 5 feet tall only seemed to add to her power.” – The Daily Star
