Sky News reporter named journalist of the year

Dominic Waghorn, the Middle East correspondent for Sky News , has been named Journalist of the Year by the Foreign Press Association. He won the award for a report about human rights activists in China during his stint as Asia correspondent. He revealed how poverty-stricken Chinese families had been evicted from their homes to make way for developments that resulted in government officials and property developers lining their pockets. The judges described the report as "exemplary", adding that it was "shot under dreadful circumstances with people risking their lives to speak to him. He was assaulted several times in the course of the piece and made nothing of it." (Via Sky News)
