The Winner Is….

Alexandra Garcia, videojournalist with The Washington Post has won the Concentra Award for Videojournalism for 2009.

The 10,000 Euro prize, along with the statue will be awarded to her as soon as she returns from her current shooting assignment in Botswana. We were, however, able to skype her live into the conference for the awards ceremony so she could directly address the audience.

The quality of the shooting, the reporting, the editing and the story telling were all outstanding.

A stellar achievement for the VJ who until only a few years ago had never even touched a video camera.

What made this particularly impressive is that she is a full time newspaper journalist.

Well done!

    Лучше всех скрасить отдых могут наши проститутки по вызову. Ведь именно они понимают сокровенные желания заказчиков гораздо лучше, чем другие женщины. Как правило, элитные проститутки настолько опытны, что их секс услуги никогда не оставляют заказчика неудовлетворенным. Проститутки и шлюхи часто ищут клиентов на улицах и в метро.
