Deadline: 30 March 2025
The International Women’s Media Foundation’s annual Courage in Journalism Awards honor women and non-binary journalists who set themselves apart by exhibiting extraordinary bravery, persistence and resilience.
Doing whatever it takes to uncover the truth, they raise the bar for reporting under duress, or in the face of censorship.
The awards program honors brave journalists – including photojournalists – working in any country across the world. They report on taboo topics, immerse themselves in hostile environments and share difficult truths. In addition, the honorees demonstrate a commitment to press freedom and often overcome unjust conditions online and offline to become leaders in their industry.
Eligibility Criteria
- Candidates for the Courage in Journalism Awards must be full-time staff or freelance women or non-binary reporters, writers, editors, photographers or producers working in any country and of any nationality.
