ROBERT S. GREENBERGER JOURNALISM AWARD
This award is named in honor of Bob Greenberger, the highly respected former Wall Street Journal reporter known for his rigorous coverage of labor, economics, foreign affairs and the Supreme Court and his deep love of reporting and writing. Bob was also a contributor to Moment, where he helped found Moment’s Daniel Pearl Investigative Journalism Initiative. This project supports young reporters covering anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry around the world. The Greenberger award recognizes journalists who “fearlessly contribute to principled, independent journalism; who pursue the truth and are undaunted in their efforts to tell the stories that need to be told; and who ensure that all sides of an issue are reported in a fair and civil manner.” Moment is grateful to the entire Greenberger family for their friendship and support throughout the years. The first recipient of the 2017 Robert S. Greenberger Journalism Award was Jake Tapper.
About Bob Greenberger
Robert S. Greenberger was born in Queens, New York. After graduation from Brandeis University he was thrust by his father’s untimely death into his family’s business—a job he didn’t want. One night as he was watching an interview with Peter Osnos, then a reporter for The Washington Post and a friend from Brandeis, he decided that was what he wanted to do. So with a wife, three young sons, and against his mother’s wishes, he promptly sold the business and applied to Columbia Journalism School. Two years after graduation he joined The Wall Street Journal and was soon on the State Department beat covering the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the Salvadoran Civil Wars. He traveled the world with four secretaries of state beginning with James Baker and ending with Madeline Albright. He covered the fall of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first Gulf War and the innumerable efforts to broker peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. After two decades covering the State Department, he capped his Journal career covering the Supreme Court, including the Bush v. Gore decision in 2000. After leaving the Journal he wrote for Moment, ghostwrote the autobiography of former Congressman Steven Solarz, helped establish Moment’s Daniel Pearl Investigative Journalism Initiative and taught a course on international relations at Goucher College. Most importantly, he has always been a funny, warm, intelligent and outgoing person who dearly loves his family and is dearly loved.
WAYS TO HELP SUPPORT OUR WORK
Dear Friend
Given the ongoing public health crisis, this year we are combining our traditional New York and DC fundraising events into one very special 45th Anniversary Gala, held virtually on the evening of Sunday, November 22. Over the years we have honored many exciting luminaries and this year will be no different. Our honorees include: former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; German Ambassador to the U.S. Emily Haber; Michel Martin, host of NPR’s All Things Considered; Max Brooks, disaster preparedness expert and author of the best-selling World War Z; and Peter Lefkin, Moment advisory board member and senior vice president of governmental and external affairs with Allianz of America Corporation. Our emcee will be Robert Siegel, special Moment literary contributor and former senior host of All Things Considered. As usual, the evening will be elegant and meaningful, and will include fabulous music.
As you may know, we depend on our two annual events to raise more than one-third of our operating costs, which is why—even though we are going virtual this year—we need to count on you to support us at the same level—or higher—as you’ve done in the past.
Sponsorship levels are below. Please be as generous as you can. I want to thank you now for your support in helping us come through this challenging year as strong as ever.
Warmly,
Nadine
