•RECOGNISE
Every year at the Rory Peck Awards we
recognise and honour outstanding work from
freelancers. Year on year we are reminded
of the increased danger, threat of exposure,
intimidation, assault and kidnappings that
have become everyday challenges for
journalists working globally.
Strikingly, the past two years have been the most
dangerous on record for journalists, where sadly the
exposure and vulnerability of freelancers and their
work has been notably in the public eye.

Ukraine Crisis - Kiev
Shot in Ukraine,

Broadcast by Reuters
Andriy’s rushes document the escalating clashes
between police and protestors in central Kiev.
Honours the work of freelance cameramen
and camerawomen in the coverage of a news
event where the focus is on the immediacy of
the story. Agency rushes/un-voiced pieces are
accepted in this category.
The first sequence of shots cover the crucial events on December 1,
2013 when riot police attacked protestors young and old, as well as
journalists. Around 40 journalists were injured that night. In January,
protestors started hurling Molotov cocktails at police and the first
shots were fired. By February, dozens of protestors had been killed.
Andriy captures the overall scene of mass protest as well as closer
individual scenes of intense anger and conflict. In one astonishing
scene, we see the panic when a Molotov cocktail explodes inside the
police line setting several men alight.

“We’ll probably never know who these men and

consequences of being caught doing what they

This is an enormously important historical document
of a regime potentially at a tipping point”.
Biography
During the last decade, the work of Team Mindeulle (or Team
Dandelion) has been shown in Japan, South Korea, the UK, and the
US. Its two senior members are Kim Dong-Cheul and Lee Hoon.

has covered include interviews with starving soldiers, homeless
orphans, and the running of illicit bus services. His daytime job is as
a government driver. Lee Hoon is a local administrator in his forties.
He has filmed rallies in which people are compelled to idolize Kim
Jong Un, the illicit use of Chinese currency in street markets, and the
enforced labour of city workers on farms in the countryside.

He films with one 20-strong gang who lure a young man to a flat

working in print, television and documentary. Her 2012 film ‘Al Qaeda

in 2013 in the English Pen Award-winning anthology

Judges Comments
“Saudi Arabia is a blind spot on our journalistic
map and she shone a light there by putting herself
on the line to get that story. It shows her passion
and motivation. To get that close to people
challenging that powerful, secretive regime is a real
achievement. She showed enormous courage.”

Judges Comments
“This is a real film-makers film. He invested in the

atmosphere of homophobia. You came away feeling

with dignity the stories of people caught up in unfolding events and
changing social attitudes.

As a journalist, Khaled is very well-connected. Time and again he

The Value of Freelancers
Santiago Lyon
Visual journalists witness everything. It’s the
very nature of their jobs, to be there, up close,
in the thick of it, showing and telling the
world what is happening, often at great
personal risk. They film and photograph it all
and they, or others, edit it later. While editing
they must repeatedly look at the video and
photography in great detail, frame by frame,
over and over again.
For those working on dangerous or catastrophic
stories, what they witness, record and edit can be quite
horrifying. Death, destruction, tragedy – the very worst
days of many people’s lives.
For some, those scenes become seared into their psyches,
wounding their souls. The word trauma, after all, comes from the
ancient Greek word for wound. For some it is one massive wound,
all at once. For others, a thousand small cuts accumulated on many
stories over time. For many decades, journalistic tradition had it
that these wounds should be cured at the bar, or through other
forms of “selfmedication” and substance abuse. They were rarely
talked about, for fear of seeming weak. One photographer, feeling
particularly low after a horrible turn of events on a story in the
1990s in which a colleague died was admonished by his editor and
told – verbatim - “my responsibility to you ends when you send me
the photos.” It was all the photographer could do to stop himself
punching the editor in the face, all this in a crowded
London restaurant.
There are many examples of journalists returning from war zones,
often not fully understanding just why they feel anti-social, or why
they are depressed, or have nightmares, or why they startle at the
sound of loud noses, or are constantly scanning rooftops looking for

threats. Thankfully, attitudes toward trauma within journalism have
come a long way in the last 15 years or so. Companies like
the Associated Press, the BBC, CNN, Reuters and others are now
much more attuned to how their staff - and the freelancers they
work with - are affected by stories of this type.
in which people can feel safe seeking help in processing their field
experiences appropriately. Many of these changes in news industry
attitude can be traced back to the pioneering work of Canadian
psychiatrist Dr. Anthony Feinstein. In 2002 he conducted a study of
140 war journalists and found that for those repeatedly exposed to
trauma, the rates of PTSD were often as high as for members of the
military or emergency first responders – approaching 30 percent.
The study, in which many accomplished journalists participated,
was a clarion call to the profession and spurred many media
organizations into recognizing that the effects of trauma were very
real and needed to be dealt with properly and with compassion; the
same sort of compassion that journalists themselves often apply to
their work.
At the Associated Press we are particularly proud of the work we
have done in this field and recently participated in a study looking at
the effects that exposure to violent user-generated content from war
zones and disasters can have on those editors tasked with viewing
and vetting it. As a result we have developed some best practices
around the recommended frequency and duration of exposure to
this type of material.
We should all encourage employers to continue developing
and refining this type of work and continue to create the sort of
responsible workplace environment where people can raise these
issues as openly and clearly as they see fit, knowing that they
will be properly supported. Needless to say, this should not be
limited to staff alone but should include freelancers as well.
Many organizations now have developed robust resources –

From the Director
Tina Carr
There is a new urgency to our work. The brutal
killings of James Foley and Steven Sotloff
took us all by surprise and brought the world’s
attention to international journalists and the
dangers they face. People who had never
thought of it before became familiar with the
phrase “freelance journalist”.
So what effect has this had on the work of
the Rory Peck Trust? The work continues,
as it always has done, but more people now
understand why we’re here.
COURAGE
IS AN
UNDERSTATEMENT
We continue to give grants and support to individual
freelancers and their families in crisis and to help
freelancers undertake vital safety training. We’re also
increasing the impact of our work by collaborating
closely with new partners on safety and first aid
projects, where we’ve focussed on the MENA region
to benefit groups of freelancers in Egypt and the
Kurdistan region of Iraq.
In September, we were honoured to have legendary US news
broadcaster Tom Brokaw speak on our behalf at a unique event held
at the British Residence in New York. We’re so grateful to the British
Consul Danny Lopez and his team, to Jon Williams of ABC News
and to Deborah Turness at NBC News for making this event such a
success.

Helping Freelancers Back to Work
With most freelancers lacking a
safety net when things go wrong,
a crisis can quickly become
devastating if it leads to a sustained
loss of income. Where possible, our
aim is to get freelancers out of a
critical situation and back to work.
This year the Trust’s grants helped to cover the cost of medical treatment,
physiotherapy, trauma counselling and stolen and damaged equipment.
They also helped those who had been injured, kidnapped or detained
cover unpaid bills and living costs, so that they could concentrate on a full
recovery before returning to work.
Grants from the Trust have supported five

Ricardo Garcia Vilanova - kidnapped
Ricardo – joint-winner of the Rory Peck Award for Features in 2012 –
and staff journalist Javier Espinosa were kidnapped by Islamic State
in Northern Syria in September 2013. They were held in Raqaa for
more than six months. After their release in March 2014, a fundraiser
was set up by Ricardo’s friends and colleagues in Spain, to recoup
the income he lost during his captivity, and to cover mounting bills
and the cost of replacing stolen equipment. More than €37,000 was
raised through the publication and sale of Libya Close-up, a book of
Ricardo’s photographs from the conflict. The Trust kick-started the
fundraising campaign with a grant and promoted it widely. We also
kept in touch with, and offered practical advice to, Ricardo’s family
during his captivity. Ricardo is now back at work.

Supporting Freelancers in Exile
Every year, the Trust supports
freelance journalists and their
families who have been forced into
exile. Freelancers flee because they
are suffering violent retaliation,
threats, intimidation, imprisonment
and torture. Most are targets because
of the work that they do.
Our grants help freelancers out of danger, find a place
to live, reach long-term settlement, and, where possible,
help build an income. We also provide assistance through
online resources and practical workshops.

Supporting Freelance Safety
Rory Peck Training Fund
We continue to provide bursaries to freelancers around the world. Safety training is essential
for any journalist planning to work in a hostile environment. Our bursaries make it affordable
for freelancers.
In 2014 we added 1st Option Media in the UK and Gobal Journalist Security in the USA to our
approved list of course providers. We continued our partnership with New York’s Columbia
School of Journalism, providing bursaries to freelancers wishing to attend their annual safety
course. We also enabled Eastern European freelancers to participate in a RISC first aid
training course in Kosovo, by funding their travel.

increasingly become targets, it is

colleagues, whether travelling to
conflict zones, or working in their
own countries.

“I wished I had been able to do it
earlier! I had a trip to Afghanistan
shortly after. I found I looked at
situations in a whole new way;
from pre-trip preparation, to
planning exit strategies, and an
overall confidence that I had
the training to fall back on if an
emergency did occur”.
“I needed to do hostile environment training but as
a freelancer it was incredibly expensive. The Rory

have also grown our online safety resources, which
provide guides and templates on everything from risk
assessments to digital security.

Supporting Freelance Safety
Workshop:
Medical Trauma Training, Iraqi Kurdistan
In September 2014, the Trust funded a three-day medical and trauma training workshop for
freelance journalists living and working in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq. The invasion
of Islamic State forces had increased the dangers for journalists living and working in the
region, whilst also prompting an increase in newsgathering. Many news outlets were relying
on local journalists and fixers - most of them un-trained in medical trauma and first aid. Neal
Jackson, photographer and chairman emeritus of the VII photo agency, pulled together a
voluntary team of experienced trainers including a former US Army medic and Erbil-based
surgeons and doctors. Freelancers were trained in medical treatment procedures and
provided with individual first aid kits containing medical appliances and supplies. The course
was run by Talking Eyes Media.
“I was looking for safety
templates when I was preparing
my trips to Iraq and Gaza. I found
your resources extremely helpful
because they made me prepare
things more thoroughly than
before. I have recommended the
RPT website to other freelance
journalists I met in Gaza who were
obviously under-prepared - some
had never even heard of a risk
assessment”
“We could not have had a better
experience with RPT. They
understood what we wanted to
do, encouraged us, and met our
almost impossible deadline to get
everything in place in time for the
course. They enabled us to prove
that our concepts were viable and
that this type of project could be
delivered with volunteers in an
economically efficient way.”

Egyptian photojournalists looking for formal safety training that
would help them manage the increasing dangers that they faced
while reporting, especially covering demonstrations and
violent clashes.

of the need for preparation and risk assessment before and

Supporting the Families of Freelancers
Mahmoud Abou Zeid
Every year, the Trust supports the families of
freelancers who have been killed, kidnapped,
imprisoned or forced to flee. Our grants help
to cover living costs, medical bills, school and
legal fees, and essential travel.
Sometimes the grants help a family find a sustainable
source of income. We also provide emotional support
and other non financial help such as information,
advice and referrals to specialised colleagues
and partners.
Egypt:
The family of Mahmoud Abou Zeid (“Shawkan”) Imprisoned
Egyptian photojournalist Mahmoud Abou Zeid, known professionally
as Shawkan, has been detained in Egypt without charge since
14 August 2013. A contributor to publications such as Time Magazine,
Die Zeit, Media Group, and online photo agency, Demotix, Shawkan
was covering the violent clashes in Rab’aa Square in Cairo when he
was arrested, beaten and subsequently imprisoned. Shawkan says
he feels as if he has been kidnapped, that he has fallen into a black
hole from which he can’t escape. His brother Mohammed has been
allowed to visit only several times. The Trust has been providing
support for Shawkan’s parents while he is in prison. Both are diabetic
and had been relying on their son’s income for medicines.

several months without charge, Parviz was sentenced to 8 years
in prison for what his lawyers say are fabricated charges meant to
intimidate other journalists. His health has deteriorated dramatically
in prison but he has received no healthcare. As Parviz was the main
breadwinner for his family, his wife has struggled to support herself
and their child. RPT has provided them with a grant to cover basic
subsistence, school fees, medical and legal fees.
