Jean Daniel, 2004 Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities, has died.
As stated in the Minutes of the Jury, he was granted the Award for his “journalism committed to truthfulness and independence from political pressure who has worked longstandingly in journalism in such publications as Le Monde, L´Express and Le Nouvel Observateur, which he also founded. He has invariably managed to infuse his work with a profoundly thoughtful and critical tone that builds upon the intellectual heritage, courage and ethical rigour of such writers as Albert Camus and George Orwell; such qualities make Jean Daniel an eminent representative of the best humanistic journalism of our times”.
