In 2023, the European Press Prize, in cooperation with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, has launched the Migration Journalism Award. This new category is dedicated to recognizing and honoring outstanding journalism that focuses on migration and migratory movements.
The Migration Journalism Award encourages submissions that explore the multifaceted nature of migration by highlighting not only individual stories, but also the broader political and economic dimensions. By showcasing the social, economic and cultural contributions of migrants, the award seeks to enhance public understanding and inform societal perceptions of migration.
This initiative underlines the critical need for continued support in the field of migration journalism and provides their audiences with a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding migration. It aims to promote well-researched and innovative reporting on these often-controversial issues, to reflect the dynamic nature of migratory movements and to contribute to a more nuanced, solution-oriented discourse on migration within and between societies.
