The One World Media Awards Committee has announced that ARIJ has been nominated for the Press Freedom Award, after being selected for the shortlist from among 559 entries submitted from over 100 countries.
The Press Freedom Award champions an independent media organization based in the global south that uses media to address social, cultural, political, or economic issues. This award recognizes outstanding reporting that informs the public, amplifies local voices, creates a space for critical information, and holds those in power to account. Last year the award went to Bilan Media, Somalia’s only all-women media team, while the 2023 award went to Mexico’s POPLab.
The One World Media Awards recognizes the best media coverage from and about the global south. Stories that break through stereotypes, change the narrative, and connect people across cultures.
