At a time when press freedom is under pressure and international newsrooms are shrinking, the Werner Holzer Prize celebrates a profession that many consider indispensable to democracy: foreign correspondence. Presented in honor of Werner Holzer, the veteran reporter and former editor-in-chief of the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau , this year's award coincided with what would have been his 100th birthday. Holzer spent decades reporting from some of the world's most important hot spots and championing international journalism.
