“For some reason I have physical courage, but,
really think about it, that’s nothing compared to
moral courage. I can go and get those shots, but if
I don’t have the moral courage to challenge
authority, to write about things that are going to
maybe have reprisals on my career, if I don’t have
that moral courage, we don’t have journalism”.

2017 Sponsorship
Foley
Freedom
Awards
Vision
James W. Foley
envisioned a world that
respects the dignity and
life of each person,
regardless of
socioeconomic status,
cultural background or
nationality. His life
demonstrated an
uncompromising
commitment to the
freedom of the press and
the dignity of each
person.
The James Foley Freedom
Awards will honor three
exceptional individuals
who continue Jim's legacy
of moral courage and
compassionate
commitment to
Americans held hostage
abroad, to press freedom
and to the human rights
and dignity of all people.
In 2016, The Foley
Freedom Awards
honored David Bradley,
David Rohde and Nadia
Alawa for their heroic
work towards our shared
mission.
In celebration of World Press
Freedom Day 2017 – UNESCO
The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation invites you to share in
Jim’s mission and legacy. We seek those who value moral
courage and have a compassionate commitment to the freedom
for Americans taken hostage abroad, freedom of the press,
protection and equity for independent conflict journalists and
basic human rights of all people.
By becoming an Awards sponsor you will be joining the many
who refuse to tolerate hatred and injustice to our common
humanity.
