Journalists cited for risks
Five journalists and an attorney who has long battled for press freedom were cited Thursday for risking their lives and liberty to report the news, often under the pressure of authoritarian regimes.The six, who work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Cuba, are recipients of this year's International Press Freedom Award presented by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Speakers at a discussion said that journalists could play vital role to ensure safe motherhood and help reduce infant mortality rate through creating awareness among the people.
