#award: let's start 2020 with great news. Our fellow Barbara Matejcic teamed up with the artist Jelena Jureša and won two awards at the 23rd Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in the Czech Republic. Their film won the prize of the Student Jury and for the "Best Feature-Length Documentary Debut Film". Congratulations! Barbara started her research with the support of "Reporters in the Field" in 2015 and contributed to this art project with the story of an infamous photograph of Belgrade’s most popular DJ kicking the head of a dead woman during the Yugoslavian wars. As a medical term, aphasia refers to the inability to speak or to find the right words. Jelena Jureša’s film ‘Aphasia’ consists of three chapters, each focusing on the collective silence surrounding crime and the compartmentalization of historical events, and tracing the line between Belgian colonialism, Austrian anti-Semitism and the wars in Yugoslavia.

In brief
About the Project
Whether print or Web 3.0, TV, audio or cross-media, whether classical formats or new styles: we support high quality research, international collaboration, and inspiring journalism from reporters passionate to look up close and tell stories that would otherwise remain untold. Twice a year, we award the "Reporters in the Field" grants of up to 8.000 euros to international teams of journalists collaborating on cross-border research on a story of their choice. "Reporters in the Field" grants foster peer learning among professionals, international networking, and nuanced coverage of complex topics relevant to European public spheres. "Reporters in the Field" is a program developed by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and carried out by the media NGO n-ost, which hosts the "Reporters in the Field" program office.
