Thank you to those behind the camera

News of the type the foreign correspondents are too modest to blog about: Channel 4 News has scooped the prestigious Royal Television Society award for best International News Coverage.

The entry? Jonathan Miller‘s reporting on the Congo crisis last autumn. His team there were Senior Foreign Producer (now C4 News Foreign Editor) Ben de Pear and Cameraman Stuart Webb.

Watch one of their films below – an important world exclusive in which we uncover evidence of an apparent massacre of civilians by rebel forces.

 

The killing fields of Kiwanja (6 November 2008). The report contains images some viewers may find distressing.

In his acceptance speech last night, Jonathan highlighted the importance of fixers – local journalists on the ground – in making such coverage possible.
