This year’s theme is inspired by one of the most important articles of the European Convention of Human Rights – article 10 (*). Without a free media and plurality of opinion, democratic societies can no longer exist. Yet contemporary media are under threat from violence against journalists, attempts at government control, concentration of ownership of media outlets, dwindling
standards in press freedom and the surge of the internet as a source of instant news.
The Award is organized by the European Youth Press in collaboration with the Council of Europe.
