Julio Godoy, France/Guatemala, was considered Guatemala's top investigative reporter before he was forced to flee the country under government pressure to silence him.

Julio Godoy, France/Guatemala

Reporting under constantly dangerous conditions, Godoy was kidnapped once, and the weekly newspaper he helped found was blown up. In 1990, he moved to Germany and worked as a freelancer, writing about refugees and German economic affairs. Godoy, who now lives in Paris, has returned to daily reporting, mostly for German radio stations. He was a Nieman fellow in 1989, and in 1996 received a Human Rights Watch Hellman/Hammett grant.
