SaharaReporters’ investigative journalist, Damilola Banjo, and
other journalists from Nigeria were named among finalists for
the 2019 Kurt Schork Memorial Awards in International
Journalism.
According to the organisers, the awards honour brave
journalists for their reporting on conflict, corruption and
injustice.
Banjo was named finalist under the Local Reporter category,
which was eventually won by Cameroonian journalist,
Amindeh Blaise Atabong.
Apart from Banjo, other Nigerian journalists shortlisted for the
award include Chinedu Asadu of TheCable, Amos Abbah of
International Centre for Investigative Reporting; Shola Lawal
and Adaobi Nwaubani – both freelance journalists.
Recall that a few weeks ago, Banjo was shortlisted for the
prestigious Thomson Foundation's Young Journalist Awards.
This was after she was selected by Transparency International
as one of its Young Journalists in 2018.
Other winners of the 2019 Kurt Schork Memorial Awards
include Amanda Sperber (Freelance Award), and Sangar
Khaleel (News Fixer Award).
