George Polk, né à Fort Worth au Texas le et mort en Grèce avant le , est un journaliste américain.

Le prix George-Polk a été créé en son honneur.

Biographie

Après des études de journalisme à l'université d'Alaska, il participe aux combats dans le Pacifique. Il entre ensuite chez Columbia Broadcasting System.

Il est envoyé en Grèce pour couvrir la guerre civile grecque ; il y épouse Rhea Kokkonis.

Au début de , il disparait avant d'être retrouvé mort dans la baie de Thessalonique, une balle dans la tête tirée à bout portant, les pieds et poings liés. Les circonstances de sa mort sont toujours cause de controverse. Une enquête menée à l'époque conclut à la culpabilité de militants communistes grecs : Gregorios Staκtopoulos, Vaggelis Vasvanas et Adam Mouzenidis.

Des enquêtes postérieures ont découvert que ni Mouzenidis ni Vasvanas n'étaient dans la région au moment du meurtre et que les aveux de Staκtopoulos avaient été obtenus sous la torture. De nouvelles hypothèses suggèrent que le journaliste aurait pu être victime d'un groupuscule d'extrême-droite probablement au service du gouvernement grec et des autorités américaines.

Le prix George-Polk a été fondé en son honneur en 1949.

En 1967, le réalisateur grec Dimos Theos tourna Kierion, un film à propos de son assassinat.

Ukrainian caul and kerchief A caul is a historical headress worn by women that covers tied-up hair. A fancy caul could be made of satin, velvet, fine silk or brocade, although a simple caul would commonly be made of white linen or cotton. The caul could be covered by a crespine or a hairnet to secure it from falling off. During the second half of the thirteenth century, network caps, more properly called cauls, came into fashion for ladies' wear. These headdresses were shaped like bags, made ...
