	1991 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for International Understanding - Press Foundation of Asia
		Even so, Asia's newspaper industry was still in a state of infancy by the 1960s, by which time the great issues of nationalism and revolution had largely been settled and Asians went about adjusting to the quotidian problems of life as citizens of the region's new and imperfect nation states.
		Asia's press, he wrote, "is poised almost exactly as the Western press was about the middle of the nineteenth century—all the forces of modernization, social change, immense advances in education, and economic development working at it, demanding that newspapers now conquer a multimillion-reader audience."
		Asia was locked in a depression and the times did not smile on new ventures.
