FINAL CALL FOR ENTRIES
IFJ Journalism for Tolerance Prize
The IFJ is making a final call for entries for the IFJ Journalism for Tolerance Prize
The IFJ Journalism for Tolerance Prize aims to combat racism and discrimination, through recognising the work of journalists from all media who contribute to a better understanding of cultural, religious and ethnic differences. Entries close on 27 February. The Prize will be awarded to journalists in five regions of the world:
· South Asia;
· South East Asia;
· Latin America;
· Central and Western Africa; and
· Eastern and Southern Africa.
The Prize, which is open to local journalists employed by local media in the region, has been launched at a time when cultural, religious and ethnic differences are increasingly contributing to instability and unrest in many regions of the world.
