The investigative reporting by Erasmus Magazine<\/a>\u00a0on sexual harassment among students published last April won third prize in the investigative journalism category. The panel of judges consisting of science journalist Enith Vlooswijk,\u00a0New Scientist<\/em> editor-in-chief Jim Jansen and Lucien Baard, investigative journalist at\u00a0Tubantia<\/em>, praised the reporting for its \u2018thorough approach\u2019. The judges\u2019 report said that \u2018although the outcome is unsurprising\u2019, EM\u2019s reporting shows \u2018that students are unsure to whom they should turn\u2019 when they experience inappropriate sexual behaviour. According to the judges, EM\u2019s publications \u2018powerfully highlight the urgency of this issue\u2019.<\/p>\n

Leiden University\u2019s\u00a0Mare<\/em> took first prize for an article on \u2018smart cameras\u2019<\/a>\u00a0installed at the entrances to university buildings and lecture rooms. The intended purpose of these cameras was to count people, but Mare discovered that they could be used for many other purposes and that the system was poorly secured. Second prize in this category went to the University of Amsterdam\u2019s\u00a0Folia<\/em> magazine, which\u00a0exposed<\/a>\u00a0how major tax consulting firms are influencing professors of tax law at the University of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

Sensitively described<\/h2>

Mare<\/em> also landed the award for the best column of the past year for\u00a0a piece by editor-in-chief Frank Provoost<\/a>, in which he criticised Leiden University for covering up scientific fraud and for how it dealt with whistleblowers. Third prize went to the column \u2018Ik ben blijkbaar heel beroemd<\/a>\u2019 (\u2018Apparently I\u2019m very famous\u2019) in HvanA, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences\u2019 news magazine.<\/p>\n

A column by Dino Ga\u010devi\u0107, who writes about his medical internships for Erasmus Magazine<\/em> each month, came second.\u00a0His column<\/a>\u00a0about a patient starting intensive chemotherapy is \u2018a bit chafing but nuanced\u2019, according to the panel of judges consisting of writer Peter Buwalda, Volkskrant and Opzij columnist Asha ten Broeke and Volkskrant journalist Toine Heijmans. \u201cA really distressing situation is sensitively described with aptly chosen words.\u201d<\/p>\n
