My Take
Daniel Pearl is a name I can't write about lightly. A Stanford-educated Wall Street Journal reporter, he was killed in Pakistan in 2002 while pursuing a story, and the posthumous Lovejoy and Murrow honors read to me less as personal accolades than as a tribute to journalism itself. He worked in a corner of public life with none of entertainment's glamour and all of its danger, chasing truth at the cost of his own safety. That an award now carries his name, still alive in newsrooms, strikes me as the most fitting memorial there could be. I hold his memory with real respect.
