With heavy hearts, ISLP pays tribute to our beloved colleague and friend, Dick Winfield, who passed away on October 22 at the age of 91. As one of our founding directors, Dick was a leader and champion for the organization since its earliest days 25 years ago. He established and for more than 20 years led ISLP’s Media Law Working Group – which last year we re-named The Winfield Freedom of Expression Initiative. Dick was a generous mentor, collaborator, and trusted friend. For journalists, media outlets, and media defenders around the world, he was a devoted ally and effective advocate. We will continue to be inspired by Dick's great intellect, unflagging commitment to human rights and media freedom, and unmistakable charisma, warmth, and good-natured humor. We honor Dick's legacy with pride and appreciation. We will miss him dearly.
