The Frontline Club has published the shortlists for its 2014 awards, which recognise journalists "who have shown integrity, courage and independent spirit in their work."
The winners will be revealed at a ceremony on 16 October during which there will be a keynote speech by Peter Greste, the Al-Jazeera journalist now serving seven years in an Egyptian jail. It will be delivered by his family.
The awards are decided by a panel of judges that includes Patrick Cockburn, Middle East correspondent for the Independent; Carlotta Gall, north Africa correspondent for the New York Times; Jeremy Bowen, Middle East editor for the BBC; and David Loyn, the BBC's Afghanistan correspondent.
One key prize is the Richard Beeston Bursary, named in honour of the Times's late foreign correspondent. It will be awarded to an aspiring British foreign correspondent to spend six weeks abroad on a fellowship with The Times.
A further award is available for a young Israeli, Lebanese or Palestinian journalist to spend six weeks on secondment to the Times.
Broadcast shortlist: Medyan Dairieh, nominated for his Islamic State reports for Vice News; Marcel Mettelsiefen (Channel 4's Dispatches: "Children on the frontline"); and Safa Al Ahmad ("Saudi's secret uprising", for BBC outlets).
Photojournalism: Eric Bouvet (Heroes from Maidan, The Eye of Photography and Paris Match); Mohammed Saber (work on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, European Pressphoto Agency); and Oliver Waiken (work in Gaza, European Pressphoto Agency)
Print: Rania Abouzeid ("The jihad next door", Politico); Iona Craig ("What really happened when a US drone hit a Yemeni wedding convoy?" Al-Jazeera America); and David Smith ("Unspeakable horrors in a country on the verge of genocide", the Guardian).
The awards ceremony, on Thursday 16 October from 7.30pm, will be hosted by Channel 4's Jon Snow.
