The Guardian and The Observer have been awarded two prizes at the One World Media awards 2017. The awards celebrate journalistic excellence in international media coverage of the developing world.
Rachel Cooke (The Observer New Review) won the popular features award for One woman’s battle to heal her home city of Homs, an interview with Marwa al-Sabouni, a Syrian architect who stayed in Homs throughout the civil war, making plans to build hope from the carnage.
Jessica Hatcher (the Guardian) won the print award for Murder in Burundi: the man who knew too much, which explores how the killing of three elderly nuns set the country’s leading human rights activist on a collision course with its most powerful general.
The full list of winners can be found on the One World Media awards site.
