This week, the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) announced that they would be honoring PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor with the 2020 IWMF Gwen Ifill Award for her coverage on race relations and politics in addition to her commitment to promoting diversity within journalism.

“It is truly an honor and a blessing to receive this award from the IWMF during such a critical and historic year,” said Alcindor in a press statement. “Gwen Ifill was a journalism icon who exemplified all the virtues of the craft that we need now – fairness, bravery, and truth-telling at all costs. Gwen, her dear friend Athelia Knight, and a number of other women and men in my life have helped me navigate my career and embrace my passion for civil rights journalism on many beats and in all forms. I am forever grateful for their support as I accept this award.”

Alcindor made headlines for asking President Trump and his administration tough questions, which has drawn hostility from the president.

“Through countless attacks, Yamiche remains focused on the pursuit of the truth,” said Elisa Lees Muñoz, executive director of the IWMF in a statement.

Former national security adviser Susan Rice is throwing her support behind a PBS NewsHour White House correspondent after Donald Trump told her to "be nice" during Sunday's press briefing on the coronavirus.

Rice responded to Yamiche Alcindor's tweet detailing the encounter with the president, saying Trump "can't stomach strong black women," according to HuffPost.

"President Trump today at the White House said to me: 'Be nice. Don't be threatening.' I'm not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job. My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward," Alcindor tweeted.

Rice retweeted the post, adding "You go girl."
