Educators, NGOS, news media honored in the front-line quest to help students understand the ‘why’ of press freedom
A Canadian journalist-educator, a Malaysian investigative newsroom and the US founder of a global youth journalism initiative have won top Global Youth & News Media Prizes for their work in ensuring the young learn why societies need rigorous journalism and about the threats to those who create that journalism.
“Too often and in too many countries news/media literacy instruction skips the part about the need for journalism to support democracy and the high personal price some pay to do that job,” said Dr. Aralynn Abare McMane, the director of Global Youth & News Media.
“With this focus on our News/Media Literacy award category, we wanted to work toward correcting that by recognizing those on the front line of education who make sure those lessons are taught well (often by putting students into the role of journalists themselves). What better day than International Day of Democracy, 15 September, to announce such outstanding press freedom educators.?”
An international jury of experts in journalism, media literacy and press freedom determined the laureates on the gold, silver and community levels."
The laureates are:
* Joyce Grant (Canada) gold award for an educator
* Jackie Majerus (USA) gold award for an educator
* Jewish Telegraphic Agency (USA) community award for its Teen Fellowship Program
* The Fourth (Malaysia) gold award for a news organization for The Fourth Academy
* Harian Kompas (Indonesia) silver award for a news organization for Muda Magangers program
* Out of the Box (Philippines) silver award for an education NGO for its Media Literacy Initiative
* Teens for Press Freedom (USA) community award for an education NGO
The awards were announced today [15 September] to coincide with the United Nations International Day for #democracy , which has “empowering the next generation” as its theme for 2023.
Details about the laureates and their work can be found here.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, Global Youth & News Media will be organizing webinars to explore ways to adapt these practices in other countries.
