The 2015 Kurt Schork Memorial Fund Awards in International Journalism is accepting submissions.
This work is not usually well-rewarded. Freelancers live from job to job, with financial insecurity, and locally-employed reporters are often on low pay and subjected to harassment or worse when their stories uncover political or business wrongdoing.
It is these two categories of journalists that KSMF honors each year with its two awards: one to a freelance journalist covering international news, the other to a reporter living and working in the developing world or a country in transition.
ELIGIBILITY
- Local reporters and freelance journalists working anywhere in the world may enter, provided their entries meet the submission criteria set out.
WORTH
- The two winners receive their awards, including a US $5,000 cash prize each, at a ceremony, originally held in New York but since 2006 held in London in late October or November.
- Their work is celebrated in front of an invited audience drawn from international media and influential bodies concerned with promoting social justice, democracy and global dialogue. The evening features a panel discussion on an important issue current for the year.
DEADLINE: 31st May 2015.
