IBC has announced it will bestow its International Honour for Excellence (IHFE) award on Ukrainian journalist and filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov.

In honouring Mstyslav Chernov with this year's IHFE for his work as a war correspondent, video journalist and filmmaker, we are recognising the courage, creativity, skill and determination he has shown in capturing some of the most affecting stories we have seen in the last few years, said Mike Crimp, IBC CEO.

At a time when it is critical to produce video that reveals the reality of conflicts around the world and challenges the fake news and disinformation being disseminated, Mstyslav and the teams he works with exemplify integrity and the best in our industry.
