The Louis M. Lyons Award for conscience and integrity in journalism is an honor given each year by the sitting class of Nieman Fellows. The award is named in memory of Lyons, a member of the first Nieman class, in 1939, and Curator of the Nieman Foundation for 25 years. This year, the class of 2005 chose to honor Shahla Sherkat, the founder and publisher of Zanan (Woman), a monthly magazine that focuses on the concerns of Iranian women. In Sherkat's absence, Roza Eftekhari, an Iranian journalist who is a member of the 2005 class, accepted the award at a dinner at the Nieman Foundation in June. An edited version of Eftekhari's remarks follows.
