lettre ulysses award zum ziel gesetzt.
reporters set out for unfamiliar territories and distant parts of the world as eyewitnesses to history and detectives of the unknown. they recount the drama of life and the comédie humaine, tell stories of creation and destruction, hope and despair, fanaticism and cold calculation, of the hardship and the beauty of life. Their passion is reality and their works enrich our understanding of the world. Seen before the background of the complex, contradictory and conflict-laden process of globalisation, the art of reportage and its ability to open our eyes seem to be becoming ever more important.
