Last update - 23:21 16/01/2008 Haaretz's Gideon Levy wins prize for cultural dialogue By Asaf Carmel Tags:   Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy has won this year's Euro-Med Journalist Prize for Cultural Dialogue. Levy was awarded the prize for an article published on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, entitled "The children of 5767" (5767 is the Jewish calendar year that ended on September 12, 2007). The article told the stories of all the Palestinian children killed by Israel Defense Forces fire over the previous year. According to the prize committee, the piece not only dealt with a sensitive issue "in a very courageous manner," but also focused attention on an issue the Israeli media rarely covers. Advertisement The prize, now in its second year, is awarded jointly by the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures and the International Federation of Journalists. Levy shared this year's prize with three other journalists from Slovenia, Turkey and Belgium. They were chosen out of 76 contenders from 37 countries. Haaretz journalist Yoav Stern was one of the winners of last year's prize. "I think this is a prize for Haaretz," said Levy yesterday. "It has once again been recognized as the only platform in Israel that enables both complete, fair journalistic coverage that is not enlisted in a cause and a pluralistic expression of opinions and views. Without Haaretz, there would be no Gideon Levy, nor would there be many of the other voices that it makes heard. I'm not certain there are many papers in the world that would allow me to do my work as Haaretz has for the 25 years I have been working here."
