European Journalist of the Year Award

Who will be European Journalist of the Year?

PRIX EUROPA wants to honour a European journalist who has gone outside her/his comfort zone and shown extraordinary creativity, courage and impact on her/his specific society or audience. We are looking for a journalistic game-changer dedicated to the truth in the thicket
of global disinformation.

A person immune to political propaganda and populism aiming to provide transparency,
ready to go out and get to the bottom of things, find out the truth and inform the world. Somebody whose work has helped break through encrusted positions and change perspectives.

Proposals from all genres and formats of journalism are welcome.

Please put your candidate for the PRIX EUROPA Award as European Journalist of the Year forward by sending her/his name, contact details and a short explanation for your proposal.

Send in your suggestions to press@prixeuropa.eu
