"The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard and the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy have presented a citation to Ezio Mauro, editor of La Repubblica in Italy, recognizing his courageous leadership and the essential efforts of the newspaper on behalf of press freedom. It is a statement of support for Mauro and his colleagues in the face of attacks and legal actions by Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi.

The citation was presented by Nieman Foundation Curator Bob Giles, NF ’66, and Director of the Shorenstein Center Alex Jones, NF ’82, during the annual Richard S. Salant Lecture on Freedom of the Press on Oct. 22 at Harvard Kennedy School."
