| Canadian Journalists for Free Expression and Awards Chairs Patrick Gossage, Robert G. Hurst and J.Fred Kuntz invite you to join us for the 2007 International Press Freedom Awards Dinner. The CJFE International Press Freedom Awards, which were launched in 1998, have become the signature event of the organization's press freedom awareness activities in Canada. The gala dinner brings together corporate sponsors with an influential group of journalists, publishers, editors, media executives, business leaders and senior public servants. They all come together to honour the courage of journalists around the world and to let the community know they stand in defence of press freedom. The main event of the evening is the presentation of International Press Freedom Awards to two international journalists and one Canadian journalist who have shown great courage in the face of adversity in the course of their work. Sponsorship from dozens of companies, including many of Canada's major media outlets, has made the CJFE International Press Freedom Awards an important fundraiser for the organization. The majority of the event's proceedings go to the CJFE Journalists in Distress Fund, which has disbursed grants of more than $140,000 to persecuted journalists in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. |
