Nieuws - Frontline Club journalism awards 2008

Yuri Kozyrev  received the award for his exceptional coverage of the Iraq war. His photographic essay starting from March 2003 covers the lives and stories of the people in and around Baghdad during the US-led attack.

The winner of the Frontline Special Commendation is Arkady Babchenko whose work covers the war in South Ossetia and Georgia. His work includes some of the most graphic and memorable footage from the recent war.

The winners get a lifetime membership of the Frontline Club. In addition this year, Canon gives two high-end photographic products. 

Frontline Club is a centre for quality journalism dedicated to ensure that stories that fade from headlines are kept in sharp focus. It exists to promote freedom of expression and support journalists, cameramen and photographers who risk their lives in the course of their work.
