The International Women's Media Foundation also gave its Lifetime Achievement Award to the BBC's Kate Adie, whose decades on the job have taken her from Afghanistan, to the Tiananmen Square protests to the war in Bosnia. She has slept in graves, been shot in the elbow and still has shrapnel in her foot.
"Reporting is a privilege," Adie said in her acceptance speech. "Tell the world. That's it: the responsibility and the privilege."
