REVIEW
THE RORY PECK
TRUST REVIEW
FROM THE
CHAIRMAN
Every November, at the Rory Peck Awards we honour outstanding
work from freelancers. It’s always a special occasion, a chance for
our industry to celebrate freelance talent and to say thank you for
their contribution to newsgathering. Each year, the Rory Peck
Awards remind us how much our industry relies on the freelance
community.

TO THE TRUTH-SEEKERS.
THE STORY-TELLERS.
THANK YOU.
More than ever before, freelancers are joining the dedicated network of
journalists who tell the stories that shape our world. Through their bravery,
they act as an independent voice in the face of poverty, uncertainty and
repression. Their extraordinary dedication helps to ensure that the world sees
and hears the truth.
Events in Syria this year have been a sobering reminder of the very real dangers that
face newsgatherers as they go about their work. Journalism for many is a high risk
occupation, and those who undertake it need support and back up. The truth is, too
many freelancers receive little or no protection. Whether journalist, photo-journalist,
camera operator or fixer, most have to fend for themselves in a world that is increasingly
hostile and in a media landscape that is more and more competitive. Of the 23
journalists who have been killed in Syria this year, 13 were freelance. Many have been
detained, kidnapped, injured or forced to flee. In Somalia, more than half of the
journalists killed in 2012 were freelance. There is a depressingly similar picture in other
areas of conflict.
That’s why the work of The Rory Peck Trust is so important. From their small office in
central London, Trust staff work year-round providing assistance, support and advice to
freelancers that they can’t get elsewhere, whether working in conflict zones such as
Syria or Somalia, or from the hostile environments of their own back yard in countries
such as Kyrgyzstan, Guatemala or Nepal. It’s essential work that not only has a direct
impact on the lives of the freelancers the Trust helps, but on our industry as a whole.
The Rory Peck Trust is a small organisation, that punches way above its weight in terms
of reach and impact, not just supporting freelancers and their families in crisis but also
helping freelancers to do their work safely, securely and responsibly through bursaries,
workshops, grants, tailored advice and information.
A healthy, vibrant, well trained and well supported freelance community is vital to our
industry and the future of newsgathering. Please support freelancers and the work of
The Rory Peck Trust. In these challenging times, our work is more relevant than ever.
At Reuters, we are indebted to these courageous freelancers who relentlessly
follow the story despite the risks. And we thank the Rory Peck Trust for helping
them tell it.
Congratulations to all of those honoured by the Rory Peck Awards 2012.

THE RORY PECK
TRUST REVIEW
FROM THE
DIRECTOR
The Rory Peck Awards are all about freelancers and their stories – stories
they cover and stories they have to tell. The stories they have to tell are the
everyday work of The Rory Peck Trust – stories of threats, beatings, injury,
disablement, dislocation and loss – of freelance journalists trying to work in
situations of conflict and oppression. However, the underlying story is one
of passion and mission, a desire to overcome adversity and keep working.
Today’s freelancers, whether experienced or new on the block, face great challenges. Over
the last twelve months, The Rory Peck Trust has provided 127 charitable grants to
freelancers and their families in crisis – more than ever before. Ongoing international
conflicts, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, have brought us cases requiring
more substantial, long-term assistance. Freelancers are pounding on the door for safety
training bursaries – we’ve awarded twice as many as usual, but that's still not enough.
Our programme team in London are hot-wired to our many friends and partners around
the world, constantly keeping in touch with events and how they affect freelancers.
We’ve collaborated with partners on specific projects in Russia, Guatemala, Kenya and the
Philippines. and we're developing new relationships with the Munk School of Global Affairs
at the University of Toronto, and the Columbia School of Journalism in New York.
I sincerely thank those funding organisations whose commitment and support is making a
significant contribution to the development of our activities: the Correspondents Fund, the
Oak Foundation, and the Open Society Foundation. To those media organisations who,
despite the economic downturn, have continued to support us – your funding plays a vital
part in our charitable work: thank you Aljazeera, Associated Press, BBC, Channel 4, ITN,
ITV, Reuters, Sky News, Sony, TV2 Denmark, WDR and especially NBC News who, in
2012, have doubled their donation and pledged a further five years support. Last and by
no means least, I’d like to thank that very special band of supporters, who have made the
Trust the focus of their fundraising activities – you are very important to us, so thank you
our grass-roots friends: Mark Brayne, Inigo Gilmore, Charles Pease, Guy Martin and the
Department of Media at University College Falmouth.
The Rory Peck Trust isn’t named after a concept – it is named after a person. A personal
approach is always at the centre of our work, and, as we grow, we must be careful never
to lose sight of this.

SYRIA
Edith Bouvier (French)
Freelance journalist - Injured
The Freelance Assistance Programme is at the heart of our work, providing
direct financial and practical support to freelance newsgatherers and their
families globally. We work with a wide network of international and local
partners. These partnerships enable us to reach freelancers in countries where
it is difficult to operate and to provide additional support where needed.
The Middle East
and North Africa
The Programme operates in four main ways:
SYRIA
CHARITABLE GRANTS provide financial assistance to freelance
newsgatherers in crisis, and to those who have been seriously injured or are
suffering persecution, exile or imprisonment as a result of their work. They
also support the families of those who have lost their lives. During the last
year the Trust has distributed 127 grants.
Mansour al Mansour (Syrian)
Freelance journalist - in Exile
ONGOING PRACTICAL ADVICE AND INFORMATION for freelancers or their
families – a unique and essential source of guidance and support in many
situations.
He and two colleagues had built up a network of sources in
the city and, as events escalated, they supplied international
news organisations – including Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC and
France 24 – with information and reports from the ground.
Each one knew the risks involved, but with few Syrian
journalists willing – or able – to report freely, they were
determined to tell the world what was happening in their
country. Days later Mansour discovered that his phone had
been bugged and one of his colleagues arrested. His office
was ransacked, his equipment confiscated and he started to
receive threats and strange phone calls. So Mansour went
into hiding and then fled to Lebanon where he was eventually
joined by his family.
This programme is supported by: Al Jazeera, BBC, BBC News, Channel 4, ITN, ITV, De Laszlo
Foundation, NBC News, Oak Foundation, Open Society Foundation, Reuters, Sky News, TV2 Denmark,
WDR (Germany), Col. W. H. Whitbread Charitable Trust and donations from individuals and events.
But Mansour didn’t feel safe in Lebanon, and when the Trust
contacted him he was desperate to find somewhere more
secure for his wife and children. With our support they are all
now safely settled in Sweden, and we will continue to keep in
touch in case they are in need of further assistance.
RORY PECK TRAINING BURSARIES enable freelancers, who otherwise
could not afford it, to undertake essential safety training that prepares them
for work in hostile environments. During the last year the Trust has given
73 bursaries.
REGION-SPECIFIC PROJECTS run in collaboration with local and
international partners protect and educate freelancers and their families in
practical ways that are specific to their needs.

Mansoor al Mansoor was one of a handful of Syria journalists
bringing reports out of Daraa in Syria when the first protests
against Bashar al Assad’s regime began in March 2011.
Edith, a freelancer with considerable experience
working in hostile environments, was one of a group of
foreign journalists staying in an unofficial press centre
inside the Syrian city of Homs when it was hit by
government shelling in February 2012. The attack
killed Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin, French
photojournalist Remi Ochlik and Syrian freelancer
Rami al-Sayed.
Edith suffered extensive shrapnel wounds to one of her
legs which was also severely fractured but as Homs
became surrounded by government forces, she, and
other injured journalists, had to wait an agonising 11
days before being evacuated out of the city for
treatment.
Edith’s case received a lot of publicity in France but
when she returned home, she found herself recovering
from a serious injury without any income. An RPT
assistance grant enabled Edith to pay essential bills so
that she could focus on recovery and her journey back
to work. In October 2012, her book about her
experiences in Syria, Chambre Avec Vue Sur La
Guerre, was published in France.

Andrea Bernardi (Italian)
Freelance video journalist - Injured
Andrea, a regular contributor to RAI, RAI News 24,
Corriere della Sera TV, was seriously injured in a car
accident just outside Sirte in September 2011. He was
on assignment for Agence France Presse, covering the
street battles that still raged in Gaddafi’s hometown,
when he was involved in a car accident which left him
with a shattered pelvis and broken leg. Andrea was
operated on in Misrata later that day and was
eventually repatriated to Italy, where he underwent a
five hour surgery on his pelvis, but complications and
damage to his sciatic nerve left him in agony for
months and he had to endure six further operations.
AFP had covered Andrea’s repatriation costs and
medical bills but he remained in great pain and still
unable to walk. So the Trust supported Andrea with two
assistance grants that paid for months of intense
phsysiotherapy. Within a short time he was walking
again and in the summer Andrea returned to work,
travelling to Aleppo in Syria on assignment for AFP.

Training freelancers in Safety
Nizar Sarieldin (Libyan)
Freelance fixer and print journalist - in crisis
In June 2012, the Trust enabled 14 freelancers based in
the Middle East to attend a 4-day Hostile Environment
Training course tailored to their needs. Participants had
a range of experience and disciplines. Most were
based in Egypt, Israel, Lebanon and Turkey. None had
received any formal medical or security awareness
training before.
Organised by TYR Solutions, the course focussed on
security awareness and medical training. This was a
unique opportunity for freelancers based in the region
to receive essential safety training at a significantly
reduced rate and in a location close to where they lived
and worked.
At the end of the course, participants said they felt
“much better prepared”, “confident”, “knowledgeable”
and “safer as a result of the training”. Many said that
they had re-evaluated their approach to working in
hostile environments.
The Trust also works with AKE, Pilgrims Group and
TOR International to provide affordable HET training
for freelancers.
18
During the Libyan uprising in 2011, Nizar worked as a
fixer for journalists from various international media,
including Time Magazine, Le Monde, Christian
Science Monitor, AFP and the Japanese press. He
also reported from the Misrata frontline for Agence
France Presse when the city was under siege on two
separate occasions.
It was after one of his assignments in Misrata – where
he witnessed people being killed during extensive
fighting – that Nizar began to suffer psychological
symptoms. He started having nightmares, flashbacks
and he couldn’t sleep. He lost the ability to concentrate
which started to affect his work and he took fewer and
fewer jobs. In June 2012 he was diagnosed with Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder.
PTSD treatment in
Cairo has helped
Nizar Sarielden
get back to work
There are no facilities to treat PTSD in Libya, so the
Trust helped to pay for Nizar’s treatment in Cairo,
bringing on board partner organisations, CPJ and RSF
to cover his expenses and remaining medical costs.
Nizar has now completed his treatment and is back
home in Libya. He is also back at work as a fixer.

Sub Saharan Africa
SOMALIA
Since November 2011, the Trust has given 14 assistance
grants to Somalian freelancers, most of them in exile in
Kenya and Uganda.
In 2012 alone, 15 journalists have been killed in Somalia,
and many more have been injured. Threats and intimidation
are a regular part of the job, and as most journalists are
employed as freelance, with no benefits and very low
salaries, more and more are being driven into exile.
In Kenya, as well as providing assistance, information and
advice to Somali freelancers and their families, we have
also been working with partner organisations on more
long-term ways to help. In 2011, with Committee to
Protect Journalists (CPJ), we organised a meeting of
regional and international organizations in Nairobi that
gave us a better understanding of the situation of exiled
journalists who have fled there. We are now working with
those partners on new initiatives to provide long-term
assistance and support for the large numbers of East
African freelancers in exile.
Mahad Hassan Mohamud (Somali)
Freelance radio journalist - in exile, Kenya
On the 30th of April 2012, Islamic group Al-Shabaab’s
armed men took over Radio Markabley, an independent
radio station active throughout the Gedo region of
Somalia. After the incident, Mahad Hassan Mohamud –
a freelancer for the station – was repeatedly threatened.
Mahad fled, and reached the Kenyan border at Mandera
a week later, but police at the checkpoint refused him
entry to Kenya’s refugee camps and he was forced to
hide. Al Shabaab soon learned of his whereabouts and
began threatening his hosts. When the Trust contacted
Mahad he was in a desperate situation so we covered
the cost of his safe passage to Nairobi, and made sure
that he had a secure place to stay when he arrived in the
city. The Trust is staying in touch with Mahad and will
provide further support if needed.

Mary Grace Morales lost her husband Rosell Morales
in 2009. He was found dead from multiple gunshots in
a mass grave, one of 32 journalists killed in the
notorious Manguindanao province massacre. Rosell
had been working as a journalist for less than six
months when he was killed, freelancing for local
newspaper News Focus as a correspondent and
circulation manager. He was also a volunteer reporter
for a local radio station. He was the family’s sole
breadwinner and his modest monthly salary had
supported himself, Mary Grace, and their three
teenage children, one of whom is disabled.
NEPAL
BANGLADESH
Manika Jha (Nepalese)
Freelance print and radio journalist - Attacked
William Nicholas Gomes (Bangladeshi)
Freelance print and online journalist - in Exile
23 year old Manika is an award-winning freelance print
and radio journalist. She is also one of the few female
journalists working in Nepal. A passionate reporter of
human rights issues, she also provides a rare voice for
women in a male dominated society – and it’s not been
easy. Since starting her career, aged 19, Manika has been
threatened, attacked and sexually harassed because of
her work and has endured the murder of her close friend,
and fellow journalist, Uma Singh.
William freelanced for the Sri Lanka Guardian and the
Asian Human Rights Commission, reporting mainly on
crimes committed by security agencies in Bangladesh. In
May 2011 he was detained, interrogated and tortured by
the police’s anti-crime and terrorism unit who had found
out about his work. William was released but when he
returned home he began to receive death threats and,
fearing for his life, and the safety of his family, he fled to
Nepal, then on to Hong Kong.
Manika could never afford to own a computer or other
basic equipment, and had to work at local newspapers
and internet cafes – unsafe envrionments for her kind of
journalism. Eventually, after constant threats and
harassment, she was brutally attacked by a male
colleague in January 2012, whilst working in a local
newspaper office.
The Trust was one of several organisations to support
William, his wife and two young children, who had
remained in Bangladesh. After a nomination from the
Trust, he was accepted for the Protective Fellowship
Scheme for Human Rights Defenders at Risk at the
University of York in the UK. He is now researching and
writing in a safe and stimulating environment. William has
already begun a book about torture and impunity in
Bangladesh..
When we contacted Manika she was desperate to return
to work but fearful of further attack. So we provided her
with a modest grant to cover the cost of a basic laptop,
camera and internet access, and she is now back working
from home, safely and independently.
But this year, Mary Grace attended a series of business
mentoring workshops funded by the Trust and
organised by local partners, the Center for Media
Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), and Go Negosyo.
The aim of the workshops was to help the families who
had lost their freelance breadwinners in the massacre
to build a sustainable means of income through
business start ups.
Mary Grace drew up a business plan for an internet
cafe – PC Bang – based at the family home. Trainers
were impressed with the long-term feasibility of her
proposal. The Trust is now supporting her with two
modest grants – the first to get PC Bang off the
ground, and a second to help development once the
business is up and running.
Three other families have had their business plans
approved and have received small development grants
from the Trust.

In October 2012, the Trust teamed up with the
Colombia University Graduate School of Journalism in
New York City on an intensive 3-day classroom-led
workshop for freelancers.
With local partner La Fundación para la Libertad de
Prensa (FLIP) the Trust helped the group set up a
unique online project. Laotraorilla.co is a news and
information website aimed at the millions of
Colombians displaced by the country’s ongoing armed
conflict who are entitled to compensation and
restitution through a new government law. The site was
successfully launched in September 2012, with the
intention of becoming a long-term source of income
for the group.

The aim was to enable freelancers to think critically
about working in volatile situations, with an emphasis
on careful preparation before, during and after
assignments. The Trust was involved in planning the
course and provided 11 bursaries to freelancers from
the USA and Canada.
Based at Columbia’s campus, sessions covered risk
assessment, trauma, cyber security, emergency first
aid and the prevention of rape and assault.
The course was led by Judith Matloff, professor at
Columbia and a journalist with over 20 years
experience covering conflict around the world.

The Rory Peck Trust spoke to two freelancers who
attended a workshop in Escuintla.
How long have you been working as a freelance journalist?
Luis Loarca Guzman: 15 years
Antonia Benito: 2 years
What are the main stories / issues in your area?
Luis: I mainly produce columns about the problems facing our communities –
stories that often the mainstream media don’t cover.
Antonia: Social and cultural issues, and what is happening in the community.
Also religious topics.
What are the main challenges / difficulties that you
face as a freelance journalist?
Luis: Firstly, the problem of self-censorship. You often find yourself involved in
a delicate situation and its easy not to address sensitive issues, especially with
corruption-related topics.
Antonia: One of the challenges we face as journalists is the lack of openmindedness by the authorities when confronted with a news piece that they
don’t agree with. At the moment, journalists risk being censored or intimidated,
especially when dealing with issues related to extortion or kidnapping.
GUATEMALA
Regional safety workshops
Have you ever had any training regarding risk
assessment, good practice or law?
In 2011/12, the Trust enabled 62 freelance journalists to attend
safety and skills workshops in various locations throughout
Guatemala. Run by local partners CERIGUA, the 2-day courses
covered risk assessment, good practice and law and were
aimed at freelance journalists most at risk from the violence
that has escalated against journalists in recent years.
Luis: Only this one. This kind of training in the provinces is really appreciated,
as these courses generally take place in the capital.
Antonia: No, this was the first one and I found it very valuable.
Do you feel more confident about your work as a
freelance journalist after attending this workshop?
Antonia: Yes. Not only because we are now more knowledgeable about freedom
of expression and the constitution, but also because we know when a journalist
has to take care of his or her own physical safety and integrity.

Luis: I feel more optimistic because I’ve learned new things. For example, I didn’t
know about safety protocol and I learned some very valuable measures there.
And with the legal resources, I now feel more confident about my journalism.
How important do you think these workshops are for
freelance journalists in Guatemala?
Luis: They are of the utmost importance. They should continue and also should
happen more often. I’d like to see more participants.
Antonia: They are very important because as freelance journalists, we don’t have
a particular organisation behind us to train us or provide us with resources. It is
very important to reach out to the regions, to train us and inform us about how
we journalists have responsibilities, how we should take care of our integrity,
know the law and seek support.

TRUST REVIEW
Eurasia
AZERBAIJAN
Idrak Abbasov (Azeri)
Freelance print and broadcast journalist Attacked
In March 2012, Idrak Abbasov received the 2012 Index
Guardian Journalism Award, for his investigative
journalism. A month later, while filming the forced
demolition of houses by the state oil company SOCAR in
Baku, he was viciously attacked by security guards. Idrak
was so badly beaten that he lost consciousness, waking
six hours later with broken ribs, head trauma and damage
to his eyes and kidneys. When we contacted him, he was
bedridden, unable to walk and facing months of tests
and treatment.
As the sole breadwinner for his family, including three
young children, Idrak’s immediate concerns were
financial. Unable to work he also faced crippling medical
costs. So the Trust gave Idrak an assistance grant to
cover medical bills and living costs for the following
months, so that he could focus on his recovery without
worrying about his family. Six months later and Idrak is
still receiving treatment for his injuries, including his eye
sight. He is trying to work again.
GEORGIA
Teimuraz Kighuradze (Georgian)
Freelance broadcast journalist - Attacked
In August 2008, Teimuraz Kighuradze, a respected
conflict reporter, was one of the first journalists to enter
Tskhinvali in South Ossetia and reach scenes of
fighting on the day war “broke out” between Russia
and Georgia. While covering the clashes Teimuraz was
seriously wounded when a bullet hit his left arm, and
he lost the function of his hand.
The injury began to affect Teimuraz’s physical
movement and his ability to get around, forcing him to
walk more heavily on a week prosthetic leg he’d had
since a childhood amputation. So the Trust provided
an assistance grant towards a new prosthesis which
will improve movement in his leg and enable him to
work to full capacity.

AWARDS 2012
FROM THE
AWARDS SPONSOR
Take a look at your smartphone. Go to your home screen and count
the number of ways that it lets you connect with the world around
you. Social media, video conferencing, photo-sharing, email, instant
messaging; there is a wealth of different ways that we can
communicate and that’s before you’ve bothered to punch in
someone’s telephone number.
We live in a hyper-connected society that allows us to communicate with the world
around us like never before. Of course, much of that connectivity is used to make
sure that we don’t forget to buy milk on the way home, or to bemoan the latest
football results. But then there are those who provide us with a connection to the
human stories taking place far beyond the mundane of the everyday, and, in doing
so, plug us into the events that are shaping the world we live in.
Freelance journalists play a crucial role in connecting us with exactly what is going on
in areas that would otherwise remain inaccessible to us, shining a light on stories that
would otherwise go unheard. But, more importantly, they provide a voice to those
who are often forcibly denied one, connecting them with a world beyond their own
remote, troubled communities and issues. The actions and self-sacrifice of freelance
journalists carry the message that the rest of the world is listening.
Sony works extensively with cameramen to understand the incredible strain that
accompanies this level of responsibility. When working in the most challenging
environments in the world, where your life is regularly placed at risk, the last thing that
you want to worry about is the equipment you are using. But also by supporting the
work of the Rory Peck Trust we hope we can also give freelance cameramen and
women the reassurance to carry on doing what they do so well. The Rory Peck Trust
offers an unrivalled level of support to freelancers the world over. By providing financial
assistance, training bursaries, information and advice it ensures that freelance
journalists have the confidence to take on the monumental challenges they face.
The ability of freelancers to produce breathtaking and engaging footage in the most
challenging of conditions is an inspiration to us all. But we should also thank them for
the incredible sacrifices they make to connect us with stories that help us better
understand the nature of the world around us.

Dramatic footage of the running battles that erupted on the
streets of Cairo following the Port Said football violence. Most
of those killed or injured were fans of the club Al-Ahly – known
for their prominent role in the protests against Mubarak and the
military council that succeeded him. Tens of thousands hit the
streets in anger across Egypt the following day. Roddy spent
two days filming at the centre of the protests outside the Interior
Ministry. He was injured several times as protesters hurled
rocks, while security forces on the ground and in armored vans
fired salvos of teargas canisters.
A unique combination of war reportage and intimate interviews,
Mani’s footage from Homs shows the violence and the human
suffering in the city at the height of the Syrian army assault.
Mani was on assignment for Le Monde as a photographer when
at the very end of his assignment he decided to try his hand at
video. This film was the result. He went to the Khaldiya district
just hours after Syrian forces started a massive shelling
campaign. 138 people were killed, mostly women and children.
In the following days Mani found himself caught up in an
unfolding humanitarian disaster. He recorded the deaths of
civilians by sniper, and the attempts to save the wounded in
makeshift field hospitals. He also got rare access to an FSA
unit, staying with the fighters as they battled street to street with
government soldiers.
Striking street-level coverage of the first four days of rioting
across London in the summer of 2011. Jason was on the streets
of Tottenham within hours of the start of the violence and stayed
long after most media organizations were forced to leave
because of rioters hostility to the press. There were many
reports of photographers and camera operators being attacked
or robbed, but Jason managed to stay in the middle of the
action. On the third day he focused on the rioting around
Hackney, another area that had become increasingly hostile to
the press, again managing to capture both sides of the
continuing violence. In Enfield, he also focused on the activities
of armed vigilante groups.
The judges described Roddy as a “natural raw talent.” One said:
“His piece has rhythm, it has tempo, he has the patience to
properly frame shots. He put himself in some situations that
were fairly hairy to document but which were important to
document – from all angles. It’s an extremely visual piece of
story-telling. He’s barely picked up a camera before – but this
isn’t just pointing and shooting. He has a real eye and a real
sense of what makes good television.”
BIOGRAPHY
Roddy Hafiz’s father is Egyptian and he spent much of his
childhood in Cairo. Following the revolution Roddy put his
college education on hold and gave up his job as a waiter to
travel from his home in the US to Egypt. This story was his first
experience behind the camera. He is currently working with his
sister Jihan Hafiz (a Rory Peck Award for Features finalist in
2011) on stories and reports for Real News Network, and on a
self-funded documentary about the Egyptian revolution.

One judge said: “Mani went into one of the most dangerous
places on earth but never lost his film-makers eye. Because of
the amount of time he spent in Homs – and because of his
Arabic – he has managed to tell a complete story. There are
some exceptional moments – the street fighting, the sniper
alley – which he films bravely and with a remarkable sense of
framing.”
BIOGRAPHY
Two years ago Mani (not his real name) left his job as a primary
school teacher in Paris to become a freelance photographer.
Since then his work from Syria has appeared in publications
such as Paris Match, Le Monde, The Guardian and The Sunday
Times Magazine. This year he started working with video as well.
Mani is French / Algerian and is based in Paris. He studied
Arabic and philosophy in Syria between 1997-2001. He was a
primary school teacher for 8 years before deciding to become a
professional photographer.
The judges felt Jason captured the drama of the tension
between police and rioters in a series of “beautifully framed
shots”. One said: “Jason reminds us that the dangers faced by
freelance newsgatherers aren’t just found overseas. This
important, powerful, visual story was unfolding almost on his
doorstep. It is close and personal. You get a real sense of Jason
thinking on his feet – it’s fabulous, striking work.”
BIOGRAPHY
Jason N Parkinson started his career as a print journalist in
2001. He began working in video in 2005 covering the G8
protests in Scotland. Since then he has specialized in covering
civil unrest and a range of national and international protests for
online newspapers and television. He has also produced
investigations on social and environmental issues, including the
privatised water sources of Coca Cola in Southern Mexico, and
the homeless war-on-terror refugee camps in Northern France.
Jason was a Rory Peck Award for News finalist in 2011 for his
work on anti-Mubarak protests in Cairo.

The story of the Egyptian Revolution through the eyes of three
young Egyptians from radically different backgrounds – each
with different hopes for the future. Ahmed Hassan wants to find
work; socialist activist Gigi Ibrahim wants respect and freedom
for all; Tahir Yasin wants an Islamic state. The film follows them
from the early days of hope for change through the bloody
aftermath of Mubarak’s overthrow and rise of Islamists as
elections loom. We see all three swept up in a series of conflicts
as the battle over the future of Egypt turns ugly.
Alberto and Ricardo travelled to Misrata in a rebel-sponsored
supply boat from Malta. They arrived in the city at the height of
the siege and joined a group of rebel fighters. This film follows
their story. We see young rebel fighters returning to their homes
at the end of their “shift” on the front-line and hear them talk of
their lives before the revolution and their hopes for the future.
We see what happens when a group of young office workers
and shop workers become a fighting unit. And we see the total
chaos of battle.
Patrick was in Misrata documenting the effect of the siege on
children for UNICEF. He stayed on after that assignment, joining
a group of rebel fighters. He lived with them and followed them
for three weeks, focusing on two main characters: Abubaker
Maiteig, a teacher whose uncles were murdered by the Qaddafi
regime; and Feras Asheni, a medical student. The film provides
a clear portrait of the disconnect between their preconceptions
about conflict and the reality of fighting and killing for the first
time.
The judges thought the film gave a human face to an important
news story. One said: “It was engaging and informative and
there were some genuinely memorable and quirky moments.
The time the filmmakers spent with their well-chosen characters
really paid off.” Another said: “I felt this film cut the distance
between my living room in the UK and Cairo because the
characters were people you could understand and relate to.”
The judges described the work as “superlative front-line
photography” One said: “Some of the battle scenes are
cinematic and fearless. They never missed a moment and it left
me with my heart in my mouth. The film is in Spanish – and I
don’t speak good Spanish – but I watched the whole thing
mesmerized.”
The judges felt Patrick’s work showed great maturity for a
young filmmaker. One said: “His work shows enormous
emotional intelligence. The moving and revealing interviews he
got from men under high pressure – fearful for their lives – were
really quite extraordinary.” Another said: “This was Rory Peck
journalism at its best – someone on their own – under their own
steam – getting under the skin of a major news story.”

Safa and reporter Ghaith Abdul Ahad posed as a Yemeni
husband and wife to reach an Al Qaeda contact who would
allow them access to Al Qaeda-controlled territory in southern
Yemen. They visited several towns being run under Sharia law
by Al Qaeda. The tension in the towns is mirrored by the tension
surrounding their visit. Every piece of filming is closely
controlled. In the town of Ja’ar, Safa and Ghaith were blindfolded before being allowed to film a group of detained
government soldiers. The issues raised in the film – particularly
the radicalizing effect of drone attacks – received wide-spread
coverage after it was shown in the U.S.
Daniel’s film provides evidence of Sudanese government
attacks on tens of thousands of civilians in the troubled Nuba
region of the country. We see countless families – driven from
their fields – sheltering in caves in the mountains as
government forces bomb them. Daniel filmed at the Catholic
Mother of Mercy hospital, the only functioning hospital for a
million civilians. Designed for 80 beds, it has 500 patients. His
pictures show doctors forced to carry out operations on
shrapnel-wounded children without anesthetic. Huge viewer
response to the film led to money being raised for a charity
supporting the hospital. The UK Foreign Office said the film
played an important role in the UK policy debate on Sudan.
Wael was among the first to defy the Syrian regime’s ban on
foreign media. He spent two weeks working undercover –
posing as a tourist with reporter Ramita Navai – in some of the
most dangerous parts of Syria with members of the fledgling
opposition movement. He filmed protestors and the victims of
the bloody crackdown, and visited clandestine hospitals set up
in private homes to treat the injured. For three days Wael was
trapped in a safe house with activists who hid in a tiny
cupboard as militiamen searched the neighbourhood. He
recorded the sound of them beating a young neighbour
outside the door.
The judges described the film as a brave and important piece of
journalism which helped explain the rise of Al Qaeda in Yemen.
One said: “It challenges stereo-types and shows a completely
new side of Al Qaeda. They were governing a city. That’s not
normally how we think of them. Small sequences of filming like
the fluttering black Al Qaeda flag and the shops emptying as
everyone goes to the mosque build to form a compelling
narrative. It is fantastic story-telling.”
BIOGRAPHY
Safa Al-Ahmad is a Saudi freelance journalist based in the
Middle East. She has worked both for print and TV for major
channels in the region. Her first job was as a news producer for
Al Jazeera Arabic in the Washington DC bureau in 2000 where
she witnessed Ehud Barak shoving Yasser Arafat through the
door at Camp David and from then on was a news junkie. With
the start of the second intifada she travelled to Palestine, then
on to Lebanon, Bahrain, Democratic Republic of Congo and
Libya among others. She witnessed most of the revolutions in
the Arab world. ‘Al Qaeda in Yemen’ is her first self-shot film.
The judges thought the film was haunting, and very moving.
One said: “It is sensitively filmed – it is under-stated and wellpaced. There are very many small moments which create a
huge emotional impact on the viewer. It is not a well-known
story but I don’t think any of us will now be able to forget what
is happening in those mountains.”
BIOGRAPHY
Daniel started his career at Insight News Television in London
where he specialized in putting together logistically challenging
projects and negotiating difficult access. His films have been
broadcast by Channel 4, BBC, Al Jazeera English and Current
TV. He has covered subjects as diverse as witch trials in Central
African Republic, gangs in South Africa and kidnapping rings in
Nepal. For one investigation he went undercover, joining a
group of illegal immigrants in Calais and secretly filming the
journey into Britain on the back of a lorry.
One judge said: “It is atmospheric, claustrophobic – there is
great tension running through the film. The camerawork is
remarkable given the constraints on what could and couldn’t be
filmed. He has thought carefully about how to film people who
can’t be identified – the result is a clear visual style which is
maintained throughout. It’s an incredible piece of television.”
BIOGRAPHY
Wael produces, directs and shoots observational documentaries
and current affairs films. His work has been seen on Channel
Four, National Geographic Channel, Discovery and the BBC.
He has extensive experience working and filming overseas,
gaining access to extreme and sensitive scenarios and
characters. He spent four years filming shipping disasters
around the world, accompanying emergency maritime salvage
crews as they raced to the rescue of stricken, burning and
sinking ships. In 2010, Wael directed an acclaimed film on the
BP Gulf Oil Disaster for National Geographic US, gaining access
to the first 36 hours of the operation to rescue the Deepwater
Horizon oil rig.

AL MUGHIRA AL SHARIF
GHASSAN IBRAHEEM
Awarded jointly for their outstanding
work in Syria
Al Mughira Al Sharif (above) was nominated by BBC
correspondent Ian Pannell and cameraman Darren Conway.
A Syrian national, he was raised in Islamabad and moved to
Istanbul in October 2010 to study and become a professional
footballer. Before becoming a fixer, he had never been in a
hostile environment, never worked with the media and had
never been inside Syria. As a fixer he has organised the
seemingly impossible whilst encountering artillery shells,
mortars, attack-helicopters, mines, checkpoints, gun-battles
and fighter-jets, always operating calmly and clearly,
interviewing survivors and bereaved relatives, while
witnessing the death and injury of men, women and children.
“Mughira is still a young man, in his early twenties”, says Ian
Pannell, “but he has handled the pressure and trauma of
being on the frontline with remarkable maturity and boundless
energy. When he is not translating he is making contacts and
plans; organising food, accommodation, transport, who to
trust, which routes to take, what is being planned, where,
when and how. The pressures are immense and relentless and
few are more deserving of recognition”.

Ghassan Ibraheem, from Lebanon, gave up his job in a
Beirut business to become a fixer in October 2011. Since then
he has freelanced regularly with BBC reporter Paul Wood and
cameraman Fred Scott in Syria. Ghassan has helped the team
get safely into Syria using every mode of transport – on foot,
motorbike, car, even donkeys. In February he led them into
Homs via an underground drainage tunnel beneath Syrian
army positions and played a central role in the live reports that
were broadcast from Bab Amr as the Syrian army launched
their assault on the city. In June, as Aleppo came under its
most intense aerial bombardment, he helped to show the
world the impact of air strikes on civilians, always dealing
sensitively with the heightened emotions of residents and an
increasing suspicion of foreign journalists. “Ghassan’s bravery
is extraordinary”, says Paul Wood. “He has had to work
carefully under immense pressure in order to report safely and
maintain relationships in the most difficult circumstances. As a
Lebanese citizen he has also been concerned for his own
safety at home given the uncertain politics with Syria. He is
simply the bravest, most resourceful, sensitive and safetyconscious fixer that Fred and I have ever worked with”.
As a partner to the media industry for 40 years, Atex is
honoured to sponsor the Martin Adler Prize, which
recognises the work of local freelancers. Without their
dedication and determination, often working directly in
harm’s way, some of the globe’s most influential news
stories would never see the light of day. From the early
Atex days of newspaper production systems to our
recent development of the industry’s first end-to-end
editorial, advertising and Web content management
solution, Atex firmly believes that our role is to provide
the technologies that enable publishers to efficiently
produce and deliver news to audiences when they
want it, where they want it, on any print or digital
media channel – which is why Atex supports The Rory
Peck Trust.

STAY SAFE
COMMISSIONING
RESPONSIBLY
In November of last year I was honoured to receive the Rory Peck Award for News
for my work in Libya. Just months later, on assignment for AP, I was injured in
northern Syria. I treated the story with the amount of caution and preparation that
covering a story like this demands. But, being honest, even the best preparation
can’t account for bad luck.
Our team was with rebel fighters, covering street to street fighting. As I took cover I
realised bullets were bouncing off the walls around me. I turned to Khalil Hamra, the AP
stills photographer, and said we should get out of there – it was just too dangerous.
Seconds later, I got hit. The bullet entered my shoulder, side on. At first – and I
know this sounds like a cliché – I didn’t know what had happened. I felt a sharp pain
but nothing too intense. By the next morning, my body was telling me everything
was not OK.
I was flown by air ambulance to London. I know that I got the best level of care, and
as I write this I am recovering from follow-up keyhole surgery and I face a few more
weeks of physiotherapy before I get back to work.
I am very grateful to the medical teams who helped me. Within hours of being shot I
was in a London hospital getting some high-end care. And for this I am also grateful
to the AP, who treated me like one of their own. I hope other organisations will look
on this as a gold standard in dealing with their freelancers.
Ahmed Bahaddou, Freelance video journalist
When word reached us at AP that Ahmed Bahaddou had been shot in Syria, we
organized his evacuation to London and his admission into hospital. Not knowing the
extent of his injury, we arranged for Ahmed to be seen by a thoracic surgeon and
also by a trusted specialist in remote field medicine. When it became clear that
Ahmed’s injury was confined to his shoulder, we arranged for a specialist in that field,
who performed the surgery on Ahmed, and continues to treat him to this day.
We did all of this because it was the right thing to do. After all, it was we who
commissioned Ahmed to go. We have many freelancers who contact us about going
to Syria, or to other hostile environments. We don’t commission just anyone. We
consider thoroughly their experience, their skills, and their familiarity with the
assignment. But when we do commission, we take, and extend, the same
responsibility as we did with Ahmed.
