Zimbabwe: The Courage to Speak in a Silenced Land

Geoff Nyarota is the editor of The Daily News, Zimbabwe's only independent daily newspaper. Launched less than two years ago, the Harare-based paper has managed to become Zimbabwe's most influential voice despite repeated attempts by President Robert Mugabe's government to silence it, and Nyarota, has been awarded the 2002 Golden Pen of Freedom, the annual press freedom prize of the World Association of Newspapers.
