Also his Russian colleague, the investigative journalist Jelena Milasjina, will receive an honorary doctorate. That the universities with this distinction is not accidental. Next Friday is world day of freedom of the press. “Vranckx is not interested in spectacular images, but in the understanding of what drives people to war,” says the VUB.
