The Overseas Press Club is launching a series of Zoom conversations in which the head judge of each award interviews the winners. Spearheading the series is OPC Governor Farnaz Fassihi, head judge of the Hal Boyle Award for best newspaper, news service or digital reporting from abroad. A team from the Associated Press won the award for “Outsourcing Migrants,” an investigative series that showcased the global migration crisis from Latin America to the Middle East. The series exposed how policies in Western and developed nations were creating a huge pool of languishing people
AP journalists joining the call include Lori Hinnant, Tim Sullivan and Julie Watson. Fassihi writes about Iran for The New York Times. Previously she was a Senior Writer for The Wall Street Journal for 17 years and a conflict reporter based in the Middle East.
RSVPs are required. Links to the Zoom call will be emailed to registrants before the program begins.
