Deadline: 16-Jun-25
The Global Youth and News Media is now accepting applications for its Journalism Award.
This year’s Journalism Award spotlights great youth collaborations that contribute to the survival of local news outlets.
Eligibility Criteria
- The competition is open to any kind of news organization in any country run by people of any age and on any platform. The news outlet must be serving a local community successfully, at least in part through a collaboration with young people (defined as through university age).
- Candidates can be self-nominated or submitted by a third party nominator.
Judging Criteria
- Members of the international jury have been instructed to keep in mind three things:
- Impact (70%) Evidence that what you are doing works thanks to involvement of the young, especially as evidenced by measurable impact on audience, finances, etc. This is the core aim.
- Inspiration (15%) Transferability and adaptability of the idea for other countries.
- Innovation (15%) Success of a new approach. This does not preclude an initiative that has been going on for some time that still produces excellent results thanks to adaptation to the times.
