More than forty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 8th and 9th to debate and award trophies in the following categories: photo, print, radio, television, grand format television, young reporter (written press) and video image. Three honorary awards have been attributed: the Regional prize for students and trainees of Normandy (television), the Public’s Choice award (photo) and the Ouest-France – Jean Marin prize (print). Presided by Manoocher Deghati, the international jury of the 28th edition of the Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…

“It is exceptional to bring together forty professionals here in Bayeux. The debates are incredibly rich. For us, war reporters, who never have time to talk to each other when we are in the field, this moment is an opportunity to discuss, judge and look at our work and our colleagues’. These reports are the result of our experiences and the best of the profession.
Manoocher Deghati
