Awards: RFK to Jack Ohman

01Awards4RFKJack Ohman,
of The Oregonian, is this year's recipient of the RFK Journalism Award
for Cartooning.

In citing
his work, the judges stated: “Ohman's cartoons tackle a range of difficult
topics including poverty and unemployment in Oregon, the practice of shuffling
Oregon teachers suspected of molesting children to other schools, rising
college tuition costs, and human rights in China. From civil rights to
the election of our nation's first black President, from ethanol to the
struggles of American 
families in the economic downturn, his graphic
journalism on behalf of the downtrodden exudes an insightful sensitivity.”

The RFK
Awards honors outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert F. Kennedy's
concerns, including human rights, social justice and the power of individual
action in the United States and around the world. Winning pieces examine
the causes, conditions and remedies of injustice, and analyze relevant
public policies and attitudes, and private endeavors.
