Times’ Latin Correspondent Honored
Richard Boudreaux, Los Angeles Times bureau chief in Managua, Nicaragua, was among the five gold medal winners of the annual Maria Moors Cabot Prizes for journalism that advances inter-American understanding.
Other winners honored Thursday at Columbia University were the editors of a weekly newspaper for Haitians in Miami, Marc (Marcus) Garcia and Elsie Etheart; Alma Guillermoprieto, Latin America correspondent for the New Yorker magazine and other publications, and Huascar Cajias Kauffmann, founder and columnist of Presencia, a daily newspaper in La Paz, Bolivia.
Boudreaux, 42, has been a reporter 20 years. He worked for the Associated Press for 16 years in New York, Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Bolivia before joining the Los Angeles Times.
The prizes, with a $1,000 award, were established by Godfrey Lowell Cabot of Boston as a memorial to his wife. They are awarded by the trustees of Columbia University on the recommendation of the university’s Graduate School of Journalism.
