Guardian journalists win Future of Journalism Global Award
Guardian health editor Sarah Boseley, photographer David Levene and video producer Millie Harvey have been presented with the Future of Journalism Global Award by Denmark’s Constructive Institute and the Solutions Journalism Network.
The team won the award for their investigation into how the Democratic Republic of the Congo has all but defeated sleeping sickness. The piece, with photography by David Levene and video by Millie Harvey, was commissioned and produced for the Guardian’s Upside series, and published in Guardian Weekend magazine.
The award was presented at the Global Constructive Journalism Conference hosted in Geneva.
Accepting the award, Sarah Boseley said:
“Most of the media think that stories have to be about something terrible that is happening and it’s only very occasionally that you can turn the tables and say, yes, there are terrible things happening, but within that there are some fantastic things too and maybe we should look to the positive.”
