Awards Breathe Life Into Lung Cancer Reporting
November 16, 2006

Winners of First International Journalism Awards for Reporting on Lung Cancer Announced Today
    LONDON, Nov. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --- A selection of
journalists were officially recognised today, during Lung
Cancer Awareness Month, for their role in helping to
elevate the often neglected profile of lung cancer, the
leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide, affecting
more than 1.2 million people annually[1]. 

    The Awards, judged by a prestigious independent panel
of multidisciplinary key opinion leaders from fields of
advocacy, clinical and media, as well as a lung cancer
patient, are designed to encourage accurate, influential
reporting of lung cancer by rewarding journalism excellence
in three different categories: Best Consumer Award, Best
Medical Award and Best Broadcast Report. 

    The winners of the Lung Cancer Journalism Award are:   
 

    -- Best Consumer Award -- Julia Llewellyn Smith, United
Kingdom. Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph. You Don't
Have to Smoke to Get Lung Cancer    

    -- Best Medical Award -- Helle Pappot, Charlotte
Elberling Almasi, Barbara Malene Fischer, Trine
Juhler-N0ttrup & Halla Skuladottir, Denmark.
Manedsskrift for Praktisk Laegegerning. A Better Life with
Lung Cancer     

    -- Best Broadcast Report -- Daniel Cassola, Argentina.
60 Minutos con Daniel Cassola. Cancer De Pulmon (Pulmonary
Cancer) 

    All three winners will receive a research grant in
recognition of their exceptional efforts and to further
their future contributions to lung cancer journalism. The
winning consumer article depicted a story of hope as told
through the patients' eyes, and also broadened the picture
of lung cancer sufferers beyond the typical male older
smoker. The superior medical article provided an unmatched
insight into the clinician's mindset when diagnosing
someone with lung cancer and in discussing both treatment
options and patient care. And the best broadcast report was
very factual and accurate in reporting on all aspects of
lung cancer with the use of specialists. 

    Commenting on the Awards, Chairperson of the GLCC, Dr
Jesme Fox said: "In some countries, lung cancer still
remains a taboo subject in the media. It was therefore
encouraging to see the high level of creativity and
research submitted by journalists all over the world in
this first year of the Lung Cancer Journalism Awards, in an
effort to report on lung cancer in a positive light and
include non-smokers as part of the bigger picture. We can't
wait to review next year's submissions!"  

    The winning articles were picked due to their accurate
and thought provoking reporting on Lung Cancer, and their
influence in generating a greater public awareness of Lung
Cancer and its prevalence in the modern world. 

    Said the winners on hearing their achievement:

    "This is a very interesting initiative for us
journalists, especially in our country where there is a
lack of specialised press. Awards like this encourage us to
keep on doing our job and improving ourselves. I also feel
enormously proud of this international recognition to our
effort and hard work to offer our audience programs with
the highest quality and a scientific approach to the
news" (Daniel Cassola, Argentina. Winner of the Best
Broadcast Report). 

    "I am absolutely delighted to be one of the first
winners of the lung cancer journalism awards and that in
doing so I am able to raise awareness of lung cancer in
young women. On a personal level, many of my female friends
have been and continue to be 'social smokers', with the
attitude that the occasional few at a party 'can't hurt'.
Having researched this article, I have been busy warning
them that even the odd cigarette can cause irrevocable
damage especially to female lungs and persuading them to
quit entirely. If this message reaches an even wider
audience I will feel I have done good service as a
journalist." (Julia Llewellyn Smith, United Kingdom.
Winner of the Best Consumer Journalism Award). 

    The following journalists were recognised as 'Highly
Commended' and were awarded the runners up prizes; Petra
Thorbrietz, Germany in the Best Consumer Award category for
her article 'I will fight', and Marlene Farcas from Romania,
for her broadcast report 'Lung Cancer... is Prevention
possible?'
