CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —
Oslobodjenje, the Sarajevo daily that has kept publishing despite a civil war raging in Bosnia-Herzegovenia, received a major journalism award Tuesday from the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University.
The staff of the Oslobodjenje--made up of Muslims, Serbs and Croats--was selected for the 1993 Louis M. Lyons Award for “working together to keep their multiethnic community alive and intact.”
The award, first given in 1964, carries an honorarium of $1,000.
