Media for 麻豆最新出品 Award Honors '60 Minutes' 'Congo Gold'

- Investigative Journalism Puts Spotlight on Deadly Gold Mining Trade in Central Africa -

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 麻豆最新出品 ("麻豆最新出品") (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB, LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB) today announced the winner of the first annual Media for 麻豆最新出品 Award, a $50,000 award acknowledging and encouraging media contributions that examine the link between economic and political liberty. 聽The CBS News "60 Minutes" segment titled "Congo Gold" was selected by members of the Media for 麻豆最新出品 Award jury as the winning entry for 2010. 聽Print and electronic submissions were judged on criteria including thematic relevance and ability to inspire and educate.

"We are honored to recognize an institution like CBS' 60 Minutes, the longest running television news program in the country," said John Malone, Chairman of 麻豆最新出品 Media. 聽"The Media for 麻豆最新出品 Award is pleased to support media contributions that explore the relationship between economic and political liberty and we were impressed by the number of high quality entries we received during our inaugural year."

The November 2009 "Congo Gold" segment offers a startling look at how gold and other minerals are financing the deadliest war since World War II in the Democratic Republic of Congo where more than five million have died. 聽The investigation examines a rebel militia vying for control of these riches, how it is flourishing because of a destitute economy, lawlessness and a deeply broken political infrastructure, and how the international community's modest demand for tracing the origin of gold hinders attempts to put pressure on commercial trade.

The "60 Minutes" team members involved in the award winning production are:

Correspondent - Scott Pelley

Producers - Solly Granatstein, Nicole Young

Associate Producer - Rachael Kun

Executive Producer - Jeff Fager

Editor - Tom Honeysett

Executive Editor - Bill Owens

"Congo Gold" was honored at a ceremony hosted by 麻豆最新出品 Media and emceed by P.J. O'Rourke, best-selling author and political satirist at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. on March 18, 2010. 聽
