Weitz Prizes awarded, Rep. Van Hollen delivers keynote September 26, 2005 / Washington, DC
On Sept. 26, the German Marshall Fund awarded the 2005 Peter R. Weitz Journalism Prize for excellence in reporting on European affairs to the Washington Post’s Craig Whitlock and John W. Miller of Dow Jones Newswires. Whitlock, Berlin bureau chief for the Post, received the $10,000 senior prize for his investigation into “The Paths of Terrorism in Europe.” The $5,000 junior prize went to Miller, based in Brussels, for his work looking at how European Union policies affect ordinary citizens in new EU member states. The event featured a keynote address by U.S. Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D–MD), who spoke about the importance of the transatlantic relationship and its evolving role in the 21st century. He emphasized the need for original and objective reporting of foreign news to promote deeper understanding of world events on both sides of the Atlantic, especially after failed public diplomacy regarding the Iraq war. The Congressman also urged the United States and Europe to build upon areas of agreement — such as democracy promotion — between the American and European publics.
The Weitz Prize was established in 1999 to honor the memory of Peter R. Weitz, former director of programs at GMF’s Washington headquarters, for his interest in promoting coverage of European affairs by American journalists.
