   [1]Steven Vincent, the journalist who was murdered in Iraq a short
   time after publishing [2]this piece is to be honored posthumously by
   the Institute for War and Peace Reporting in London, receiving the
   [3]Kurt Schork Award:

     The Kurt Schork Awards in International Journalism were set up to
     recognize the best in local and freelance reporters who make such a
     critical contribution to international understanding, but whose
     work is often overlooked. An international panel of judges
     comprising Isobel Hilton of OpenDemocracy.net; Saira Shah, writer
     and broadcaster; Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times;
     Roger Cohen of the International Herald Tribune and Peter Maas of
     the New York Times Magazine will shortly be announcing the two
     joint winners of this yearâs award established in memory of Kurt
     Schork, the widely-admired journalist who was killed in Sierra
     Leone while on assignment for Reuters.

   Excellent summaries of Steven Vincent's life and work are [4]here and
   [5]here.
