Political Cartoonist Rob Rogers Donates His Thomas Nast Award Money To Cartoonist Rights Network

It's a pretty straight-forward story, caught by Alan Gardner here: Rob Rogers donated his prize-winnings from this year's Thomas Nast Award to Cartoonist Rights Network International. I believe that would be $1000. The Nast prize is from the Overseas Press Club -- it is for international affairs coverage -- so there's a legacy there in terms of supporting those who work in places not North America. Gardner's article indicates the money will be put to use in support of a Syrian cartoonist's struggle not to be deported to that tortured country. Hooray for Rob Rogers.
