Hillary Receives German Media Prize

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton received Sunday the German Media Prize for 2004.

"Hillary Clinton is a model politician for millions of women around the world" who "represents in an exemplary way women's rights", the jury for the prize said.

Senator Clinton, who participated Saturday and Sunday in the International Security conference in Munich, emphasised the importance of the role of NATO in trans-Atlantic relations.
Since its inception in 1992 the German Media Prize has tapped left wing political figures.

Hillary will join other winners, including husband Bill, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Queen Silvia of Sweden, German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
