About European Press Prize 2024
The European Press Prize was founded in 2012. Quality journalism is of vital importance to healthy democracies, especially in a time when information is omnipresent. Therefore, the European Press Prize is committed to encouraging journalism of the highest quality in Europe – because a healthy, well-informed public debate led by professional journalists is crucial for democracy and the rule of law.
By celebrating the many skilled professionals who operate in the field of independent quality journalism, the Prize wants to set an example of what quality journalism in Europe entails.
Program Details
In previous years, works realised by journalists from very different backgrounds and with the most diverse skill sets were nominated for, or won the European Press Prize. The list of winners spans from stories that tackled topics such as women’s health – like Lara Bonilla and Ricard Marfà’s infertility: The other face of motherhood” – to investigations into neo-Nazi terrorist cells across Europe, like “Death Weapons: Inside a Teenage Terrorist Network” by Alexander Nabert, Christina Brause, Bryan Bender and Nick Robyns-Early. From innovative projects of data journalism like Maldita’s Whatsapp chatbot to tackle misinformation to cross-border ones, for example, the collaborative project Russian Asset Tracker.
Eligibility
Any of the 46 countries which make up the Council of Europe with the addition of Belarus and Russia, are eligible – although this is not a Council of Europe contest or an EU one. We have just taken the widest possible practical definition of Europe.
