&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ramnath Goenka Award for Journalist of the Year goes to Siddharth Varadarajan of The Hindu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Audiences, readers still welcome well-researched stories&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;President Pratibha Patil on Thursday said the recent phenomenon of &amp;lsquo;paid news&#039; could distort news and this interfered with the concept of a free, fair and objective press.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Speaking after presenting the 4 {+t} {+h} Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards at the Taj Palace hotel here, the President delved into the history and relevance of the Indian media and the challenges it faced in today&#039;s constantly changing world.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;With a long tradition of press freedom, its role in the freedom struggle and the high professional standards that have been set, contemporary journalism can draw strength from this legacy,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ms. Patil termed journalistic accounts &amp;ldquo;important chronicles of our time&amp;rdquo; and pointed out that this reinforced the duty of the media to report events objectively and correctly, without resorting to sensationalism.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;She noted that media today operated in a &amp;ldquo;relentless 24-hour news cycle.&amp;rdquo; A situation existed today where newspaper headlines in the morning were no longer new. &amp;ldquo;Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines. In a fast-paced world, in-depth research suffers. Audiences and readers still demand and welcome well-researched stories.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Award jury member and Rajya Sabha member M.S. Swaminathan reminded the winners that they were &amp;ldquo;not only custodians of the integrity of the media, but also custodians of our personal freedoms.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The awards were given to 29 categories, comprising political reporting, business, sports, environmental and entertainment journalism, investigative journalism and on-the-spot reporting.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Siddharth Varadarajan, chief of the Delhi Bureau of TheHindu, was selected for the Journalist of the Year award in the Print Category for his extensive reportage on the India-U.S. nuclear deal, the placing of India&#039;s civil nuclear reactors under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and the exemption granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In his speech after receiving the award, Mr. Varadarajan said he had to dedicate considerable time and effort for the stories, and was thankful for having a platform like TheHindu, which helped him to write about the issue in all its complexities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, was selected for Journalist of the Year in the Broadcast Category. &amp;ldquo;Some will call our journalism jingoistic, but I would call it blunt,&amp;rdquo; he said in his acceptance speech.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Harish Damodaran of The Hindu Business Line won the award for the Best Non-Fiction Book in English for his work, &amp;ldquo;India&#039;s New Capitalists.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta announced a new award category for &amp;ldquo;Journalism of Courage.&amp;rdquo; It was given posthumously to Indian Express correspondent Vijay Pratap Singh, who died on Tuesday night of the injuries he sustained in a bomb blast in Allahabad on July 12.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A panel discussion on &amp;ldquo;Good News is Paid News, Credibility is for Sale&amp;rdquo; followed the awards ceremony.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;With a long tradition of press freedom, its role in the freedom struggle and the high professional standards that have been set, contemporary journalism can draw strength from this legacy,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ms. Patil termed journalistic accounts &amp;ldquo;important chronicles of our time&amp;rdquo; and pointed out that this reinforced the duty of the media to report events objectively and correctly, without resorting to sensationalism.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;She noted that media today operated in a &amp;ldquo;relentless 24-hour news cycle.&amp;rdquo; A situation existed today where newspaper headlines in the morning were no longer new. &amp;ldquo;Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines. In a fast-paced world, in-depth research suffers. Audiences and readers still demand and welcome well-researched stories.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Award jury member and Rajya Sabha member M.S. Swaminathan reminded the winners that they were &amp;ldquo;not only custodians of the integrity of the media, but also custodians of our personal freedoms.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The awards were given to 29 categories, comprising political reporting, business, sports, environmental and entertainment journalism, investigative journalism and on-the-spot reporting.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Siddharth Varadarajan, chief of the Delhi Bureau of TheHindu, was selected for the Journalist of the Year award in the Print Category for his extensive reportage on the India-U.S. nuclear deal, the placing of India&#039;s civil nuclear reactors under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and the exemption granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In his speech after receiving the award, Mr. Varadarajan said he had to dedicate considerable time and effort for the stories, and was thankful for having a platform like TheHindu, which helped him to write about the issue in all its complexities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, was selected for Journalist of the Year in the Broadcast Category. &amp;ldquo;Some will call our journalism jingoistic, but I would call it blunt,&amp;rdquo; he said in his acceptance speech.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Harish Damodaran of The Hindu Business Line won the award for the Best Non-Fiction Book in English for his work, &amp;ldquo;India&#039;s New Capitalists.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta announced a new award category for &amp;ldquo;Journalism of Courage.&amp;rdquo; It was given posthumously to Indian Express correspondent Vijay Pratap Singh, who died on Tuesday night of the injuries he sustained in a bomb blast in Allahabad on July 12.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A panel discussion on &amp;ldquo;Good News is Paid News, Credibility is for Sale&amp;rdquo; followed the awards ceremony.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;President Pratibha Patil on Thursday said the recent phenomenon of &amp;lsquo;paid news&#039; could distort news and this interfered with the concept of a free, fair and objective press.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Speaking after presenting the 4 {+t} {+h} Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards at the Taj Palace hotel here, the President delved into the history and relevance of the Indian media and the challenges it faced in today&#039;s constantly changing world.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;With a long tradition of press freedom, its role in the freedom struggle and the high professional standards that have been set, contemporary journalism can draw strength from this legacy,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ms. Patil termed journalistic accounts &amp;ldquo;important chronicles of our time&amp;rdquo; and pointed out that this reinforced the duty of the media to report events objectively and correctly, without resorting to sensationalism.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;She noted that media today operated in a &amp;ldquo;relentless 24-hour news cycle.&amp;rdquo; A situation existed today where newspaper headlines in the morning were no longer new. &amp;ldquo;Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines. In a fast-paced world, in-depth research suffers. Audiences and readers still demand and welcome well-researched stories.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Award jury member and Rajya Sabha member M.S. Swaminathan reminded the winners that they were &amp;ldquo;not only custodians of the integrity of the media, but also custodians of our personal freedoms.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The awards were given to 29 categories, comprising political reporting, business, sports, environmental and entertainment journalism, investigative journalism and on-the-spot reporting.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Siddharth Varadarajan, chief of the Delhi Bureau of TheHindu, was selected for the Journalist of the Year award in the Print Category for his extensive reportage on the India-U.S. nuclear deal, the placing of India&#039;s civil nuclear reactors under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and the exemption granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In his speech after receiving the award, Mr. Varadarajan said he had to dedicate considerable time and effort for the stories, and was thankful for having a platform like TheHindu, which helped him to write about the issue in all its complexities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, was selected for Journalist of the Year in the Broadcast Category. &amp;ldquo;Some will call our journalism jingoistic, but I would call it blunt,&amp;rdquo; he said in his acceptance speech.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Harish Damodaran of The Hindu Business Line won the award for the Best Non-Fiction Book in English for his work, &amp;ldquo;India&#039;s New Capitalists.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta announced a new award category for &amp;ldquo;Journalism of Courage.&amp;rdquo; It was given posthumously to Indian Express correspondent Vijay Pratap Singh, who died on Tuesday night of the injuries he sustained in a bomb blast in Allahabad on July 12.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A panel discussion on &amp;ldquo;Good News is Paid News, Credibility is for Sale&amp;rdquo; followed the awards ceremony.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;President Pratibha Patil on Thursday said the recent phenomenon of &amp;lsquo;paid news&#039; could distort news and this interfered with the concept of a free, fair and objective press.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Speaking after presenting the 4 {+t} {+h} Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards at the Taj Palace hotel here, the President delved into the history and relevance of the Indian media and the challenges it faced in today&#039;s constantly changing world.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;With a long tradition of press freedom, its role in the freedom struggle and the high professional standards that have been set, contemporary journalism can draw strength from this legacy,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ms. Patil termed journalistic accounts &amp;ldquo;important chronicles of our time&amp;rdquo; and pointed out that this reinforced the duty of the media to report events objectively and correctly, without resorting to sensationalism.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;She noted that media today operated in a &amp;ldquo;relentless 24-hour news cycle.&amp;rdquo; A situation existed today where newspaper headlines in the morning were no longer new. &amp;ldquo;Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines. In a fast-paced world, in-depth research suffers. Audiences and readers still demand and welcome well-researched stories.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Award jury member and Rajya Sabha member M.S. Swaminathan reminded the winners that they were &amp;ldquo;not only custodians of the integrity of the media, but also custodians of our personal freedoms.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The awards were given to 29 categories, comprising political reporting, business, sports, environmental and entertainment journalism, investigative journalism and on-the-spot reporting.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Siddharth Varadarajan, chief of the Delhi Bureau of TheHindu, was selected for the Journalist of the Year award in the Print Category for his extensive reportage on the India-U.S. nuclear deal, the placing of India&#039;s civil nuclear reactors under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and the exemption granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In his speech after receiving the award, Mr. Varadarajan said he had to dedicate considerable time and effort for the stories, and was thankful for having a platform like TheHindu, which helped him to write about the issue in all its complexities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, was selected for Journalist of the Year in the Broadcast Category. &amp;ldquo;Some will call our journalism jingoistic, but I would call it blunt,&amp;rdquo; he said in his acceptance speech.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Harish Damodaran of The Hindu Business Line won the award for the Best Non-Fiction Book in English for his work, &amp;ldquo;India&#039;s New Capitalists.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta announced a new award category for &amp;ldquo;Journalism of Courage.&amp;rdquo; It was given posthumously to Indian Express correspondent Vijay Pratap Singh, who died on Tuesday night of the injuries he sustained in a bomb blast in Allahabad on July 12.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A panel discussion on &amp;ldquo;Good News is Paid News, Credibility is for Sale&amp;rdquo; followed the awards ceremony.&lt;/font&gt;

‘Paid news' interferes with concept of free, fair and objective press: Pratibha Patil by Jiby Kattakayam

Ramnath Goenka Award for Journalist of the Year goes to Siddharth Varadarajan of The Hindu “Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines” “Audiences, readers still welcome well-researched stories” President Pratibha Patil on Thursday said the recent phenomenon of ‘paid news' could distort news and this interfered with the concept of a free, fair and objective press. Speaking after presenting the 4 {+t} {+h} Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards at the Taj Palace hotel here, the President delved into the history and relevance of the Indian media and the challenges it faced in today's constantly changing world. “With a long tradition of press freedom, its role in the freedom struggle and the high professional standards that have been set, contemporary journalism can draw strength from this legacy,” she said. Ms. Patil termed journalistic accounts “important chronicles of our time” and pointed out that this reinforced the duty of the media to report events objectively and correctly, without resorting to sensationalism. She noted that media today operated in a “relentless 24-hour news cycle.” A situation existed today where newspaper headlines in the morning were no longer new. “Today issues are trivialised and trivial issues become headlines. In a fast-paced world, in-depth research suffers. Audiences and readers still demand and welcome well-researched stories.” Award jury member and Rajya Sabha member M.S. Swaminathan reminded the winners that they were “not only custodians of the integrity of the media, but also custodians of our personal freedoms.” The awards were given to 29 categories, comprising political reporting, business, sports, environmental and entertainment journalism, investigative journalism and on-the-spot reporting. Siddharth Varadarajan, chief of the Delhi Bureau of TheHindu, was selected for the Journalist of the Year award in the Print Category for his extensive reportage on the India-U.S. nuclear deal, the placing of India's civil nuclear reactors under the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards and the exemption granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group. In his speech after receiving the award, Mr. Varadarajan said he had to dedicate considerable time and effort for the stories, and was thankful for having a platform like TheHindu, which helped him to write about the issue in all its complexities. Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Times Now, was selected for Journalist of the Year in the Broadcast Category. “Some will call our journalism jingoistic, but I would call it blunt,” he said in his acceptance speech. Harish Damodaran of The Hindu Business Line won the award for the Best Non-Fiction Book in English for his work, “India's New Capitalists.” Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta announced a new award category for “Journalism of Courage.” It was given posthumously to Indian Express correspondent Vijay Pratap Singh, who died on Tuesday night of the injuries he sustained in a bomb blast in Allahabad on July 12. A panel discussion on “Good News is Paid News, Credibility is for Sale” followed the awards ceremony.
