My Take
What I admire most about Clarissa Ward is that she keeps choosing the hard road. A Yale graduate who could have stayed safe in a studio, she instead became CNN's chief international correspondent by reporting from the world's most dangerous front lines. The Peabody, Murrow and duPont awards she has collected feel less like prizes and more like proof of nerve. To me, journalism at this level is ultimately a test of character, and watching her deliver the ground truth with such steadiness reminds me what serious, courageous reporting is supposed to look like.
