Thank you. Thank you very much Kira for your kind words. And thank you for all that you and everyone I've worked with at Time for over 30 years have done on behalf of my work, and on behalf of our entire industry. receiving this kind of recognition from this particular group is a tremendous honor, but I'm only one among many journalists who committed themselves to covering conflicts and revealing social injustices that are crying out to be corrected. It's the combined work of all of us together. That builds a critical mass of information and insight that creates change and helps make the world a better place. I want to dedicate this award to those who have only been silenced by imprisonment, or by giving their lives. We're the point people. The first link with reality in a collaborative journalistic chain. Each of us is a single mind, a single sensibility. One pair of eyes and one pair of ears, one heart, moving through the real world in real time to tell the stories of what happens to people. One by one at the sharp end of history we navigate dangers, endure hardships, and get our hearts broken by what we witness over and over again because we believe that people's opinions matter. That our society cannot function properly without the information we provide. And without the stories we tell. Our work is aimed at our reader's best instincts. Generosity, compassion, a sense of right and wrong, a sense of identification with others on a human level across cultures, beyond the borders of nationality, and perhaps most importantly. The refusal to accept the unacceptable. We question the powerful. We hold decision- makers accountable. The chain we help forge links the people we encounter in the field to millions of other individual minds and sensibilities. And once mass consciousness evolves into a shared sense of conscience ,. Change becomes not only possible, it becomes inevitable. It's a continuous struggle, never- ending, and we must always remain in the fight. The people who's stories we tell have not given up hope, even in the most dire circumstances. Why should anyone else give up hope for them? Millions of readers care about what happens in our world, because we give them something to care about. But no matter how powerful the words or the images might be, without old and committed editors who share our sense of purpose, and give us the space to tell our stories, we're just howling in the wind. So I want to take this moment to thank all of you for your support, your guidance, your professionalism, for wanting so much to get the story right, and for knowing that every story does not have to sell something. There's also a time to give. Thank you.
