"Carmen Aristegui gives voice to Mexicans who would otherwise not be heard or seen because they criticize the country's most powerful institutions."

The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism announced the 2008 winners of the Maria Moors Cabot Prize for outstanding reporting on Latin America and the Caribbean. Celebrating its 70th anniversary as the oldest international award in journalism, the Cabot Prize honors journalists who have covered the Western Hemisphere and, through their reporting and editorial work, have furthered inter-American understanding.
The 2008 gold medalists are: Carmen Aristegui, anchor, CNN en Español and Reforma newspaper (Mexico); Michael Smith, senior writer, Bloomberg Markets magazine; Sam Quinones, general assignment reporter, Los Angeles Times; and Gustavo Sierra, international news desk editor, Clarín newspaper (Argentina).

Carmen Aristegui Flores

Anchor for CNN en Español and columnist for Reforma newspaper (Mexico) Carmen Aristegui gives voice to Mexicans who would otherwise not be heard or seen because they criticize the country's most powerful institutions. The heat generated by her morning talk show on W Radio, "Hoy por Hoy," led to Aristegui’s forced departure. Aristegui continues to explain, celebrate, and expose what is great and wrong in Mexico — and in the hemisphere — on her CNN en Español show, “Aristegui,” and in her column in the newspaper Reforma. Her courage serves as an example for journalists, especially women, fighting to makes their voices heard.
