It is meant to go to a journalist who demonstrates "love of country and its democratic institutions" and "bears witness to the evils of totalitarianism."

Also in 2001, Nordlinger won the annual award of the Chan Foundation for Journalism and Culture. The award and the foundation were established in honor of Zhu Xi Chan, the Hong Kong newspaper owner whose pages covered events in Chairman Mao Zedong's China. The award is intended for a journalist "who uses his talents to work for freedom and democracy in China."
