    Nicaraguan journalist Yader Francisco Luna Garcia was awarded the 2010 Lorenzo Natali Grand Prize for his inside look at Nicaragua’s “Messenger Witch”, a radio character who launched a personal war over the airwaves, naming and shaming perpetrators of domestic violence. The wizened old woman tackles this tough issue head on, and her radio programme is widely followed in a jungle shantytown in the central Nicuraguan region of Bocana de Paiwas.
