Mateo Hoke (’14) and Xiaoqing Pi (’13) receive 2013 Overseas Press Club Foundation Awards.
Mateo Hoke won the Harper’s Magazine Scholarship in memory of IF Stone, the
legendary investigative reporter. The multimedia journalist wrote about tear gas
launchers and victims in the small village of Bil’in in Palestine. He received the
$2,000 award from John MacArthur, publisher of Harper’s Magazine.
Xiaoqing Pi won the Standard & Poor’s Award for Economic and Business
Reporting Award and will use the $3,000 grant to fund an internship in the Reuters
bureau in Beijing. Her essay concerned the Chinese tech industry, especially
its largest tech companies and the under-covered stories of their connections to
oppressed regimes and reliance on Chinese government support for success in
global markets.
The scholarship winners were also honored with a reception at Reuters the night
before the luncheon and toured The Associated Press headquarters.
