This top environmental prize is awarded by an international jury of broadcasters chosen by the festival honouring work in the television and digital media sphere and the Cape Town based Liz Fish was recognised for her environmental journalism. ''Liz Fish's incisive environmental journalism has made an outstanding impact in South Africa and around the world,'' says Georges Leclere, director of the media awards.
Some of the recent work Liz Fish did for M-Net's Carte Blanche includes stories about fracking in the Karoo, E.coli in the sea and rivers, and an investigation into the fish harvesting industry selling fish that were not of the species they're claimed to be.
