Thank you everyone for your kind words. This was a shock so it's taken me a while to post properly. I'm incredibly grateful that more people will learn about the treatment of refugees/migrants at Europe's borders. All prize money will go to support victims

(Btw working for Vice News remains the only staff job that I've ever had. Take from that what you will.)

This is a great eulogy & lots of the films are still online & worth rewatching.

It was certainly a wild ride working for Vice News from 2014-2016. I remember often being the youngest reporter by a decade+ covering certain situations. Then came our mass ousting: "Vice purged the young & idealistic journalists who risked their lives…"

The award honors a journalist whose work raises awareness about current events or issues of global or national significance.

Trapped in Sudan: Sudanese staff of European embassies question why they are not being evacuated
