Surviving Kenya: Through His Lens 2009 Emmy Award Winner - Multi-Media Reporting
With a master's degree in Online Journalism, Julie enjoys finding unique ways to turn compelling broadcast stories into interactive online experiences. They provide an outlet for news consumers to explore the narrative beyond the traditional television piece.
Surviving Kenya: Through His Lens" began as a broadcast story during the deadly 2007 Kenya Elections. Targeted ethnic violence turned neighbors into executioners.
Compelled to make the civil war and ethnic cleansing relevant to a domestic audience, Julie tells the story through the eyes of a local photojournalist.
Her work on this project earned her the first ever Multi-Media Emmy Award.
