IPI Congress Honours Russia’s Novaya Gazeta
Free Media Pioneer Award presented as IPI World Congress opens
The International Press Institute today presented its annual Free Media Pioneer Award to Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper that has withstood mounting government efforts to control the media and has paid dearly for its intrepid reporting over the last decade.
The annual IPI Free Media Pioneer Award was established by IPI in 1996 to honour organisations that have fought against great odds to ensure freer and more independent media in their country or region. The award is co-sponsored by the U.S.-based Freedom Forum, a non-partisan, international foundation dedicated to free press and free speech.
Previous winners of the Free Media Pioneer Award are:
Talking Points Memo, New York (2008)
