Rory Peck Awards 2020

2020 has been heavily defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to social disruption around the world and the deepest economic recession since the Great Depression. 2020 has also seen a record number of entries for the Rory Peck Awards. The awards pay tribute to an international field of freelance journalists around the world who have continued to capture some of the most dramatic and important news and current affairs stories - working in difficult and dangerous circumstances. The Firing Line, presented by Yalda Hakim, features the finalists and the winners of the awards.
