Two journalists were the recipients of the Tel Aviv Municipality’s annual Nahum Sokolow Awards presented over the weekend. Aryeh Dissentchik, retired editor of Maariv, was cited for his life-time accomplishments as a journalist. Haviv Knaan, of Haaretz, was given the award for his investigative reporting which helped bring about the trial and conviction in Holland last year of Nazi war crimes suspect Pieter Menten.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
