almar. >> just bone chilling in a positive way to see the photo that we believe was taken in a loungenge in ankara before evan and the others went on to a plane that will now set course for, as the president has said, for st. andrews air force base in maryland. we couldn't be happier to see him healthy, to see him with his trademark smile, and we already know that he's retained a good sense of humor, and i'm sure at some point he'll be able to share all that and his story himself, and we can't wait for that day where we no longer have to speak for him. he can speak for himself, and share the ordeal that he has gone through and the significance it has for journalism, and for the free world, really. >> and just to say, again, what the "wall street journal" has meant to all of us, to all of us journalists, to evan's friends and families, i'm thinking of danielle, his sister, and of course his father and the incredible courage and resilience and optimism that they have shown and largely because of the support from the journal from dow jones. and so thanks again. >> thank you, andrea. we w

"the wall street journal" was right in the middle of all of this. >> yes. of course, it was a large government component, and it was a lot of quiet diplomacy for us. our part was to make sure that there was constant advocacy with decision-makers, seen and unseen, and we were making sure people would see the suffering that parents were going through, the assault on free press, and the people -- the decision-makers would be convinced they have to act on this. that was our push. we were -- we felt, very responsible for that. the news room did its part in reporting and i mean, the emotional support putting a spotlight on it, but as a compan
