From October 5 to 11, Bayeux will host the 33rd Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for War Correspondents. A tribute to the work and commitment of leading war correspondents, it also provides an opportunity for meetings and discussions with the public.
❱ LYSE DOUCET, PRESIDENT OF THE JURY FOR THE 33RD EDITION
A familiar face and voice of the BBC, Lyse Doucet, 67, has accepted the Bayeux Award’s invitation to chair the jury’s deliberations this October. “A great responsibility,” which the Canadian journalist, herself a 2014 Bayeux Prize winner, fully understands.
