Israeli Journalist Amira Hass Awarded World Press Freedom Prize 2003
 UNESCO, press release, 7 March 2003
Israeli journalist Amira Hass who has spent the last decade living in
and reporting on the Palestinian Territories for the Israeli daily
newspaper Ha'aretz, was today awarded the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World
Press Freedom Prize for 2003 by UNESCO Director-General Koīchiro
Matsuura, on the recommendation of an international jury.
"Amira Hass has been showing outstanding professional commitment and
independence, as well as personal courage, over the past decade. If
peace is to be established between Israelis and Palestinians it will
be thanks to people like Ms Hass who are able to look at the facts and
understand them", Mr Matsuura said.
The jury was chaired by Jamaica's Oliver Clarke, Chairman of Gleaner
Company Limited, who declared: "Over the past ten years, Amira Hass
has shown exemplary courage and professionalism in working under
pressure to deliver the truth."
Ms Hass is the first and only Israeli journalist living in the
Palestinian Territories. She moved to Gaza in December 1993 after the
signing of the Israeli-Palestinian agreements and settled in Ramallah
in the West Bank in 1997. Despite restrictions from both Israeli
military authorities and from the Palestinian authorities, Ms Hass has
been doggedly filing compassionate reports about the daily lives and
hardships of the Palestinians. Her independent and critical reporting
on the policies of both Israelis and Palestinians has exposed her to
pressure from both sides.
The child of Holocaust survivors, Ms Hass was born in Jerusalem in
1956 and studied history in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. After working as a
teacher, she started her journalistic career in 1989 as a staff editor
at Ha'aretz and began writing about the Palestinian Territories in
1991, apparently undaunted by danger and criticism from both Israelis
and Palestinians.
The $25,000 prize is awarded each year on the recommendation of an
independent jury of media professionals from all over the world. It
will be presented in Kingston (Jamaica) on May 3 at a ceremony
organized by UNESCO to celebrate World Press Freedom Day.
The prize, created by UNESCO's Executive Board in 1997, aims to honour
the work of an individual, organization or institution defending or
promoting freedom of expression anywhere in the world, especially if
this puts the person's life at risk.
The prize is named after Colombian journalist Guillermo Cano, who was
murdered in 1987 for having criticized the activities of his country's
powerful drug barons. Candidates are put forward by Member States,
regional and international organizations that promote freedom of
expression.
The previous journalists who won the World Press Freedom Prize are:
Geoffrey Nyarota (Zimbabwe), 2002; imprisoned journalist U Win Tin
(Myanmar), 2001; Nizar Nayyouf (Syria), 2000; Jesus Blancornelas
(Mexico), 1999; Christina Anyanwu (Nigeria), 1998; and Gao Yu (China),
1997.
