News fixers are essential to the work of foreign correspondents, and they deserve more recognition. May 31 is the deadline to apply for the Kurt Schork Fixer Awards. Here's link with info: ksmfund.org/2022-awards

I'm sorry. It's not okay to try to get your coworkers reprimanded because they signed a letter about *free speech* that you disagree with. It also demonstrates the very point the signatories were making by signing the letter
