Nikon Workshop – Le Manoir
![](https://www.prixbayeux.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/logo-Nikon-uai-258x258.jpg)
In the framework of the Prix Bayeux for War Correspondents, Nikon will be organising a workshop for talented young photojournalists, as it has done each year since 2013.
This year, Nikon is joining forces with the Manoir Centre, which was set up in 2014 by France Médias Monde to provide training for journalists working in dangerous zones. In association with INA (the French national audiovisual archive) and with the support of Reporters Without Borders, the Manoir will soon have trained almost 300 journalists from a variety of backgrounds. The training course was designed for journalists working for France Médias Monde, but is open to all media and is training journalists from Le Monde newspaper, Arte, Canal + and the French public television channels, among others. The training provided by the Manoir is now recognised as the reference standard in its field.
While it is obvious that research and information-sharing are essential, the safety of journalists on assignment has to be both the primary concern and the starting point in the editorial process. Because the journalist is the principal player in his or her own safety, the Manoir provides specific training and methodologies given by journalists to journalists, and brings in leading experts in the fields of health, emergency rescue and psychology. The effects of weapons, the dangers of mines and orientation skills are also taught by expert practitioners who are experienced in training news professionals.
By the end of the training course, the journalist situated in a danger zone is able to assess risks more accurately, to understand critical situations and to react more adroitly to accidents in the field.
With over a century of existence and by virtue of its values and commitment, supporting photojournalists is part of Nikon’s DNA. In partnership with the Manoir, Nikon wants to support talented young photojournalists in the exercise of their profession by giving them the best possible training.
Come and meet us at the Prix Bayeux Calvados and talk to our teams.
Christiane Amanpour, President of the jury
![](https://www.prixbayeux.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Christiane-Amanpour-White-Jacket-Headshot-small-uai-258x344.jpg)
A world-famous journalist has done us the great honour of agreeing to preside over the jury’s deliberations this year. Christiane Amanpour is one of the best-known journalists in the profession and a winner of many awards.
Christiane Amanpour is CNN's chief international correspondent and anchor of the network's award-winning, flagship global affairs program "Amanpour," which also airs on PBS in the United States. She is based in the network's London bureau.
Beginning in 1983 as an entry-level assistant on the international assignment desk at CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta, Amanpour rose through the organization becoming a reporter at the New York bureau, and later, the network’s leading international correspondent.
Amanpour’s fearless and uncompromising approach made her popular with audiences, and a force to be reckoned with by global influencers — in 1996, Newsweek said that her reporting from conflict hotspots in the Gulf and the Balkans had helped make CNN ‘must-see TV for world leaders’.
From the 1991 Gulf War, the 2003 American-led invasion, Amanpour has documented the bloody violence which has marked Iraq’s recent history. In 2004, she also reported exclusively from the courtroom at the trial of Saddam Hussein, where the former dictator, disheveled and in chains, was eventually sentenced to death for crimes against humanity.
On the ground during the siege of Sarajevo, Amanpour exposed the brutality of the Bosnian War, reporting on the daily tragedy of life for civilians in the city. She was outspoken, calling out the human rights abuses, massacres and genocide committed against the Bosnian Moslems, later saying « There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. »
In 2009 « Amanpour » was launched, and the primetime interview program has seen Amanpour speak to a raft of leaders and decision makers on the issues affecting the world today.
Throughout her time at CNN Amanpour has secured exclusive interviews with global power players. In the wake of the September 11 attacks she was the first international correspondent to interview British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. During the height of the Arab Spring she conducted an Emmy-winning interview, the last, with Libya’s former leader ‘Colonel’ Moammar Gadhafi, she was also the last journalist to interview Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak just before he was deposed.
Following his landslide election victory, Amanpour spoke exclusively to Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, eliciting from him acknowledgement of the occurrence of the Holocaust. She was the first journalist to interview Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff following her country’s shocking defeat in the 2014 World Cup semi-final. She also had the rare opportunity to sit down with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, talking to him about the widespread violent demonstrations in his country.
In January 2014, Amanpour also exclusively broke the news of a dossier of testimony and photographs which alleged to show systematic torture of prisoners by government forces in Syria, welcoming a panel of war crimes experts who attested to the veracity of the shocking allegations. It was with this evidence that she later confronted Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev — challenging him to justify his government’s support for the Assad regime.
She has reported from the aftermath of many humanitarian crises including the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the 2011 Japanese tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina, where she visited a community center which had been converted to a makeshift morgue for victims of the storm.
In addition to her work as an anchor and reporter, Amanpour is an active rights campaigner. A board member of the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Centre for Public Integrity and the International Women’s Media Foundation, she has used her profile to raise awareness of key global issues and journalists’ rights. She has interviewed educational rights activist Malala Yousafzai for CNN on several occasions — bringing focus to her courage and international advocacy work. In May 2014 she used an appearance on BBC television to raise awareness of the plight of the 200 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram – asking British Prime Minister David Cameron to join the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Amanpour has earned every major television journalism award including eleven News and Documentary Emmy Awards, four Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, three duPont-Columbia Awards and the Courage in Journalism Award. She has received nine honorary degrees, has been named a CBE and was this year inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame. She is an honorary citizen of Sarajevo and a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Freedom of the Press and the Safety of Journalists.
Amanpour graduated summa cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

For the 25th edition, the Ouest-France newspaper, the town of Bayeux, the Département of Calvados, the Normandy region and the Normandy Board of Education will be organizing an exceptional educational project aimed at students in Normandy aged 15 and up - “Ouest-France Encounters: Forgotten Conflicts which have shaped our World”.
As a long-term partner of the Prix Bayeux, for this anniversary edition Ouest-France wanted to give young people an opportunity to look back over 25 years of conflicts based on the reporting of senior correspondents who have won awards at the Prix Bayeux, and covering Rwanda, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. In contrast with the immediacy of news today, Ouest-France will enable students to re-visit events from history and to take a considered look at these now forgotten conflicts.

[Audio] Soirée grands reporters - « Où va la Turquie d’Erdoğan ?»
![](https://www.prixbayeux.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/DSC_0454-uai-258x172.jpg)
15 mois après le putsch manqué contre le président Erdoğan, la Turquie oscille entre l’hystérie collective et un régime de terreur : plus de 138.000 fonctionnaires limogés, 2.000 écoles et 150 médias fermés, 55.000 personnes emprisonnées au nom de la lutte anti-terroriste ou pour des liens présumés avec la confrérie islamiste Gülen, des peines passibles de 30 à 142 ans de prison. Près de 900 entreprises dont la valeur totale des actifs est estimée à 14 milliards de dollars expropriées. Arrestations de militaires et gendarmes, fuite des investisseurs.
L’alibi du coup d’état manqué n’est-il pas opportun pour justifier cette intrusion massive dans l’appareil d’État et cette concentration des pouvoirs entre les mains d’un seul homme ? En avril dernier, Erdoğan convoque un référendum constitutionnel qui lui donne à 52% le droit de cumuler en 2019 les fonctions de chef de l’État, Premier ministre, chef de la faction parlementaire et responsable de la nomination de la moitié des hauts magistrats. Jamais un Président n’a cumulé autant de mandats dans l’histoire de la Turquie.
Parler de la Turquie, c’est donc parler d’Erdoğan. Le culte de l’autorité revenu. Les codes des prestiges de l’Empire Ottoman. Revenir à des sources anthropologiques quelque peu arrangées. Comment expliquer ses succès électoraux ?
Parler de la Turquie, c’est toucher aux problématiques d’un positionnement géopolitique semblable à la Russie de Poutine. L’Ouest ou l’Est ? Se tourner vers l’Europe ou le Moyen Orient ? C’est retrouver les marqueurs de l’Histoire. Cette bascule entre l’Occident et l’Orient rythme l’histoire turque. La réflexion n’est pas contemporaine.
Parler de la Turquie, c’est évoquer aussi la relation aux kurdes et par ricochet analyser l’implication ambiguë d’Ankara dans le conflit syrien.
Une soirée préparée et animée par Eric Valmir (France Inter) avec notamment Mathias Depardon, Jana Jabbour, Erol Önderoglu (représentant de RSF en Turquie)
24th edition of the Bayeux-Calvados Award: results
Fifty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 6th and 7th to debate and award trophies in the following categories: photo, print, radio, television, grand format television, young reporter (print) and video image. Three honorary awards have been attributed: the Regional prize for students and trainees of Normandy (television), the Public’s Choice award (photo) and the Ouest-France – Jean Marin prize (print). Presided by Jeremy Bowen, the international jury of the 24th edition of the Bayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…
« It’s been a great honor to be president of the jury. I’ve really enjoyed it, as well as working with my French colleagues.
I’m very impressed by the standard of the entries, dominated by Iraq and Syria, which was very high. I think it shows that journalism is in a good state, a good position. The final choice, made by the jury composed of very experienced journalists, was the right one. It shows that there are some very brave, skillful and honest journalists who are working in some of the world’s most dangerous places. They are shining a light into the dark corners of the world and that is a very important thing to do. »

Film hommage à Bakhtiyar Haddad
Dans le cadre du Prix Bayeux 2017, nous avons réalisé une vidéo retraçant quelques grandes étapes de la vie de Bakhtiyar Haddad, fixeur et journaliste irakien. Nous avons souhaité lui rendre hommage en montrant à quel point il a été un guide indispensable pour beaucoup de journalistes et médias francophones pour couvrir les conflits qui déchirent l’Irak depuis l’invasion américaine de 2003. Beaucoup de consœurs et confrères qui ont travaillé avec Bakhtiyar nous ont transmis leurs photos ou leurs vidéos personnelles prises et tournées lors de leurs missions. Nous les en remercions chaleureusement ainsi que les rédactions qui ont accepté de nous laisser utiliser des extraits des reportages auxquels Bakhtiyar a participé.
Cette vidéo est également à disposition du public à l’exposition Bakhtiyar Haddad, 15 ans de guerre en Irak, du 2 au 29 octobre 2017 au Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie à Bayeux.

4 Syrian photographers in Bayeux
OCTOBER 2nd TO 29th
Multimedia exhibition from the AFP on Syria
A first ever exhibition of the AFP's Syrian photographers
Meet the Syrians photographers on saturday 7 october at 4 pm in the exhibition
A previously unseen exhibition focusing on the work of the AFP’s Syrian photographers.
Four Syrian photographers will be in Bayeux to share their accounts: Karam Al-Masri, Zakaria Abdelkafi, Baraa Al-Halabi et Ameer Alhalbi.
❱ They did not only witness things that no person should have to witness. They have faithfully recorded unbearable human pain and suffering for the history books. Again and again and again. They have done so in words, photos and video. They have done so despite their own pain.
For they were not impassioned observers of events happening in a foreign land. They were bearing witness to their country and home falling apart. They were bearing witnesss to the pain and suffering of their friends, their relatives, their neighbors. Time and time again pointed their eyes and lenses on mangled bodies, bloodied children, wailing mothers and they recorded the events. When you ask them why, their replies are nearly universal – so the world would know.
Some of the journalists who have produced the harrowing images that AFP has brought the world from Syria over the past five years are among you at this exhibition. They have managed to get out of their tortured homeland and are rebuilding their lives in Europe. But some are still there, recording the war that seems to have no end in sight.
The exhibition is made up of some 40 photographs taken over the past year.
Videos and slideshows will be shown on the big screens and you can read the multimedia blogs by the contributors on the computer tablets provided.
European premiere "Mosul"
