While I’m enjoying our renewed time with Rochele for Thanksgiving week I’m also receiving reports from Mongolia about more awards for Eagle TV. These make a nice, early Christmas present.

The Mongolian Youth Federation has awarded Eagle TV the title, “Organization with Integrity.” I like that. Integrity issues are the most important issues to me. Having Eagle recognized in this way is very gratifying.

The Newspaper Association of Mongolia has awarded Eagle TV, “Best TV Station of the Year.”

Such recognition by our peers in the print media says a lot, especially when so much of Mongolian media is either controlled or heavily influenced by political forces that prevent most of it from being truly free.

These awards, in large part, recognize the coverage we provided of the July 1st post-election riots that was a watershed event and cemented the need for fair and impartial journalism in Mongolia.

Congratulations to our leadership team, and the entire staff for a job well done. You deserve far more than awards.
