On Friday evening, the awards for the best investigative journalism of the Netherlands and Flanders were presented in Antwerp: De Loep<\/a>. There were three winners and an incentive prize.<\/p>\n

De Loep for \u2018detecting investigative journalism\u2019 goes to the articles on discrimination by grant awarding body DUO. The Higher Education Press Agency (HOP) initiated the investigation. The government has since apologised.<\/p>\n

The jury describes<\/a> the publications as \u2018disconcerting and infuriating\u2019 and the conclusions as \u2018well-founded and rock-solid\u2019. What\u2019s more, the jury praised the journalistic collaboration \u2018with which all relevant target groups were reached and those responsible in politics and administration were put on the defence\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\t
