"Turkish Cypriot wins 2008 Courage In Journalism award
By Maria-Christina Doulami
TURKISH CYPRIOT investigative reporter, Sevgul Uludag, is one of the winners of the 2008 Courage in Journalism Awards.
The awards were presented by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) which is based in the US.
Uludag, 49, has been a journalist for nearly three decades. She specialises in investigative reporting and in 2002 she began writing about missing peoples and mass graves in Cyprus. “Her reporting started a public debate about the issue and led to official searches and exhumations,” said the IWMF. It further stated that “through her reporting she attempts to ease the segregation between the Greek and Turkish communities, but in doing so she has faced many obstacles, including death threats and violent attacks.”"
