Cheryl Hatch Helps Bring Free Press to Iraq
March 9, 2005 - San Clemente, CA - ZUMA's newest documentary photographer, CHERYL HATCH, is about to make a difference in the development of Iraq's free press. This month, Cheryl joins the Institute for War and Peace Reporting in Northern Iraq where she will train and mentor a new generation of journalists to report objectively on and about developments within their country. "This assignment means a lot to me," says Cheryl. "I am returning to a country where I worked as a journalist as and photographer, so it's now my turn to give something back to Iraqis. Secondly, it will give me an opportunity to set aside some funds for my own long-term reportage on military families that I hope to pick-up when I return to the U.S.," she said. Best known for her work in Iraq, Somalia, Liberia, Mozambique and Egypt, Cheryl gives unique perspective to her coverage of war by looking at its impact on women and children. In 1999, Cheryl received the prestigious Pew Fellowship for journalists from Johns Hopkins University--she was the first photographer ever awarded the honor. The Fellowship supported her reportage in Eritrea called A Luta Continua--the story of the women who fought as soldiers to liberate their country then went on to fight for their own freedom. Her photographs and writing have been published in TIME, Newsweek, Paris Match, Stern, New York Times and Christian Science Monitor, to name a few. And in books Cheryl's images are found in Game Face: What Does a Woman Athlete Look Like? and Texas 24/7. She has exhibited around the world, including in the Smithsonian and the American University in Cairo. Cheryl was a judge at the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism contest and worked as a staff photographer for the Associated Press in Seattle before joining ZUMA Press. The French, English, Spanish and Arabic speaker is now represented worldwide exclusively by ZUMA Press, and is available for assignments.
