In the Name of Courageous, Inquisitive Reporting
Dov Alfon, editor-in-chief of Haaretz, delivers a speech upon receiving the Peace Through Media Award 2011.
I am delighted to see in the audience colleagues from the British and international media whom I admire and esteem. I imagine you will agree with me that we are engaged in one of the strangest professions in the world. I don't know how many calls The Times, the BBC or Reader's Digest received today, but Haaretz has been getting calls all morning from an angry man named Julian Assange, who claims that someone leaked us the Israel file of WikiLeaks without his knowledge or authorization.
