TORONTO – Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) has chosen Ukrainian journalist Oleksiy Matsuka as winner of the 2014 International Press Freedom Award (IPFA). The award will be presented to Matsuka at the 2014 CJFE Gala on December 3 in Toronto.
Dear CJFE members and supporters,
We cannot thank you enough for your support of CJFE and our work defending of free expression. And this December 3rd, we want to see you in person.
At our annual CJFE Gala: A Night to Honour Courageous Reporting, we feature stories that we would never have known about if people had not risked their jobs, their freedom or even their lives to tell us. This annual event is an opportunity to hear these stories and pay tribute to some of these brave individuals.
At the 2014 CJFE Gala: A Night to Honour Courageous Reporting, we are honoured to be featuring the powerful images of photographer Anja Niedringhaus.
The exhibit will feature many of her iconic images captured in the Middle East between 2002 and 2014. In stark contrast to the photographs of violence and destruction that so often appear from these war-torn areas, the exhibit will feature poetic snapshots of everyday life.
Evening features exclusive photo exhibit and silent auction of work by late AP photographer Anja Niedringhaus
