Courage in Journalism Awards

The Courage in Journalism Awards honor women journalists who report on taboo topics, work in environments hostile to women, and share difficult truths. The programme recognizes journalists who face sexual harassment, threats, attacks, government oppression and other barriers to press freedom. Each year it also presents the Wallis Annenberg Justice for Women Journalists Award to bring attention to women journalists who are detained, jailed or imprisoned. The awards have honoured more than 100 journalists in 56 countries.
