Quinones Scores the Cabot Prize
July 22, 2008

One of the winners of this year’s Maria Moors Cabot prize winners for outstanding reporting on Latin American and the Caribbean was the journalist and author Sam Quinones. How cool, especially since I recently mentioned Quinones on this blog recommending his books about Mexico. Given by the Columbia School of Journalism, the Cabot gold medal goes to journalists covering the Western Hemisphere and furthering inter-American understanding. Quinones, a general assignment reporter for the Los Angeles Times is also the author of True Tales From Another Mexico and Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Stories Of Mexican Migration, both published by the University of New Mexico Press. Congrats Sam, a prize well deserved. And be sure you have these two samples of top shelf journalism books on your shelf.


The rest of the 2008 Maria Moors Cabot Prize gold medalists are: Carmen Aristegui Flores, anchor, CNN en Espanol and columnist for Reforma newspaper (Mexico); Michael Smith, senior writer, Bloomberg Markets magazine; and Gustavo Sierra, international news editor, Clarìn newspaper (Argentina).
