Global Voices co-founder Rebecca MacKinnon, yours truly and Francophonia editor Alice Backer cuddle the trophy
I know that for some this is very stale news, but Global Voices won the Knight-Batten award today! So proud to be a part of this. Big congrats and thanks to all on the the GV team! (UPDATE: And here are Rebecca’s and Alice’s far more substantial accounts of yesterday, and the Knight-Batten press release announcing the results).
And tomorrow afternoon I’ll be repping for GV again at Reuters’ New York headquarters as Reuters journalist Paul Holmes talks with Ted Turner — the United Nations’ largest private donor — in an attempt to extract the latter’s views on his investment and the state of the UN. Global Voices will be running an Internet Relay Chat through which you can raise questions which we’ll be tossing to Messrs. Holmes and Turner on your behalf. Or make even more of a splash by blogging about the event and tagging the post “gv-un”. Rebecca gives full details here.
