IWMF Courage in Journalism Awards for Journalists Worldwide 2022
IWMF Courage in Journalism Awards for Journalists Worldwide is currently accepting applications.
Dangers, assaults, government repression, a persistent glass ceiling, uneven pay, charges of fake news, and rising distrust of the media are all threats to press freedom across the globe.
