Haaretz reporters Klein, Reznick win Sokolov Award for Journalism

By Asaf Carmel, Haaretz Correspondent

Haaretz reporters Ran Reznick and Uri Klein have been named as recipients of the 2007 Sokolov Prize for Journalism, the prize committee announced on Sunday.

Channel 10 journalists Yaron London and Shlomi Eldar are to be awarded prize for electronic journalism, alongside Reznik and Klein.

Reznick is Haaretz's senior health correspondent. He has exposed over the last 15 years - from his earlier work at the Achbar Ha'ir ("City Mouse") weekly and afterwards at Haaretz - a series of corruption affairs in the health establishment and different hospitals in Israel.

Following Reznick's reporting, senior doctors were put on trial and convicted in the various affairs.

The prize committee wrote of the Haaretz health correspondent: "He is a pioneer in the exposure of injustice and falsity... His investigations greatly contributed to righting wrongs and his journalistic work exposed institutional deficiencies and aided the progress of legislation for the rights of the ill."

Klein has been Haaretz's film critic for many years. His winning of the prize for lifetime contribution in the field of film criticism is an exceptional event. Until now, very few critics have won the cultural journalism prize.

"For dozens of years Klein's writing has accompanied the cutting edge of Israeli film," wrote the prize committee. "His in-depth and unwavering writing fosters the quality of discourse within his daily reading public, who are not necessarily professionals.
