‘Thank you for making me feel less alone’: Journalist Rana Ayyub after winning press freedom award
‘I can’t tell you how isolating it is, to be living in my own country like a criminal,’ Ayyub said on receiving the John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award.
This evening I received the John Aubuchon honour in a room full of the country’s finest. I dedicated the award to Shirin Abu Akhleh and to every single journalist fighting an isolating battle. History will be kind to us. Thank you @PressClubDC @mccarrennews pic.twitter.com/SDhjYGvBES
