More on Philip Balboni:
A media entrepreneur who’s doing for international news digitally what he did for New England news on cable TV, will receive the 2013 Stephen Hamblett Award for a career promoting the people’s right to know.
Philip Balboni, a co-founder in 2009 of GlobalPost who earlier conceived and launched New England Cable News, will be honored at the New England First Amendment Coalition’s annual luncheon in Boston on April 10.
“Phil is a pioneer in journalism with an incredible resume of accomplishment in broadcast and digital media,” said Terrence Williams, NEFAC treasurer and president and publisher of The Telegraph of Nashua, N.H.
“His involvement with GlobalPost, a meaningful expansion of international journalism, is a credit to his vision and a benefit to those who seek a broader understanding of world events,” Williams said. [Read More]
