Matt McAllester, who joined Newsday as an intern in 1994, has worked in some of the world's most dangerous places, notes editor John Mancini. (In March, 2003, McAllester and Moises Saman were imprisoned for eight days at Abu Ghraib.) "Matt's heroics alone have made him deeply respected here and among colleagues around the globe," writes the editor.
