Christiane Amanpour, who spoke about The Dee Family - “The mother and two Israel-British sisters – they were killed in a shootout” received the The Columbia Journalism Award for "singular journalistic performance in the public interest. It is presented annually to someone of capacious accomplishment and distinguished service to journalism."

She addressed the graduates with remarks such as "Drawing false, moral or factual equivalence is neither objective or truthful.

She also lectured them about Donald Trump's CNN Town Hall meeting.
