In Truthdig, they've showcased some of the winners (including Mexican activist and writer Lydia Cacho whose photograph is above) of the International Women's Media Foundation's Courage in Journalism Awards. These are the women that "uphold the highest standards of the profession—and, as they reveal in their speeches, risk paying the highest price for their perseverance and dedication." The speeches mentioned are available to read on the website. They were given by some of the winners. Of note, one honoree, Serkalem Fasil of Ethiopia, was unable to attend the awards event because of threats against her. Congratulations to all. You're an inspiration to us all.
