The McClatchy Baghdad bureau's Iraqi women reporters rubbed shoulders with celebrities Tuesday night in Beverly Hills at a shindig in which they received the Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women's Media Foundation.
Among the celebs: movie stars Meg Ryan (pictured on the screen above) and Angelina Jolie, who were on hand to praise the journalists, who risk their lives daily to bring readers the news from the war.
Little-known fact, as reported by McClatchy news honcho Howard Weaver (a.k.a. McClatchy's vice president of news) in his blog: Ryan once was a journalism student at New York University.
Hey, if the acting thing doesn't work out, Meg, give us a call here at 21Q.
