The FCC is very sad to announce the passing of its much beloved member Clare Hollingworth at age 105.
Clare had a remarkable career as a foreign correspondent, beginning with the scoop of the century when she reported the start of World War II.
FCC president Tara Joseph said: “We are very sad to hear about Clare’s passing. She was a tremendous inspiration to us all and a treasured member of our club. We were so pleased that we could celebrate her 105th birthday with her this past year.”
Details of the funeral arrangements and a wake at the club will be announced later.
The Human Rights Press Awards are run by the FCC, Amnesty International Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Journalists Association. The 23rd annual awards were held on May 16, 2019, in a ceremony at the FCC. See this year’s winners.
