The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma has announced the winners of the 2006 Dart Awards for Excellence in Reporting on Victims of Violence. The first-ever Dart Awards for radio coverage were given to the BBC, for a series about survivors of the Bosnian civil war, and PRI’s The World, for a series about survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This year’s newspaper award was given to the Lafayette, La., Daily Advertiser for a project about domestic violence.
It's an interesting site with links leading into more information. Judges selected two entries to receive the first Dart Awards for radio coverage. Return to Sarajevo by the BBC and syndicated on US stations—will receive a $7,000 prize. The winning team includes correspondent Allan Little and producers Peter Burdin and Philippa Goodrich. In the three-part series, Little and Burdin revisit Sarajevo 10 years after the Dayton Peace Agreement—and 10 years after they covered the war themselves. They revisit the scenes of some of the worst destruction, conduct new interviews with some of the people they met 10 years earlier and tells how survivors there have attempted to rebuild their lives after living through a bloody civil war.
