A video featuring winners of EU Award for Investigative Journalism in the Western Balkans and Turkey.

With the intention to promote and celebrate outstanding achievements of journalists in the region, 28 journalists were awarded in 2015 for 18 investigative journalism stories published in 2014. In this video, the winners talk about the importance of investigative journalism, about the passion and satisfaction they experience in their work, about the courage and resources required in order to pursue a story, and also about the problems that journalists are facing, such as the lack of willingness of media to publish their stories or the lack of reactions of the society.

Some of them mention that EU award is a positive recognition of their work, but some also consider it as the best answer to pressures they are exposed to.
