Knight International Journalism Award 2021 – ICFJ Funds Trip to the U.S
Application Deadline: February 21st 2021
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) offers outstanding colleagues with the ICFJ Knight International Journalism Award at our Tribute to Journalists. The body now seeks nominees whose pioneering coverage or media innovations have made an impact on the lives of people in their countries or regions. Candidates can be reporters, editors, technologists, media managers or citizen journalists. Candidates may nominate themselves if they meet the awards criteria.
Winners of the 2020 ICFJ Knight Award winners were Lina Attalah and Roman Anin. Attalah is the fearless editor of an online news site that is keeping independent journalism alive in Egypt in the midst of a harsh crackdown on free expression. Anin, who received a special ICFJ Knight Trailblazer Award, is an investigative reporter whose online publication tackles the dangerous job of revealing corruption in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. He also is a past winner of the ICFJ Knight International Journalism Award.
The ICFJ Knight Award brings global visibility to the intrepid winners at a time when attacks on journalists are rampant. The award reflects the mission of ICFJ’s Knight Fellowships, which create and spread news innovation to better engage communities and improve lives. The program is supported by John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
NOTE
Nominations should be submitted latest by 11:59 pm on Sunday, February 21, 2021.
Nominees may be contacted by ICFJ for additional information.
Award winners receive a trip to the United States, where they will be honoured at ICFJ’s Awards Dinner on November 9, 2021.
