Tsering Woeser, a Tibetan writer, poet and blogger; Claudia Julieta Duque, an investigative radio reporter on Colombia who was abducted twice and repeatedly threatened; and freelancer Vicky Ntetema, who went undercover to investigate the killings of albinos in Tanzania, each received the 2010 Courage in Journalism Award on Tuesday from the International Women's Media Foundation.
