The environment for journalism is "bad" in seven out of ten countries and satisfactory in only three out of ten.
The environment for journalism is "bad" in seven out of ten countries and satisfactory in only three out of ten.
Many in the field who despite the opposition, resentment, ignorance and fear faced somehow found a way to rise above the challenges.

This prize is a recognition of the Fourth Estate of journalists and their support teams of media workers who protect the fundamental rights of the freedom of the press.
