2008 MISA Press Freedom Award

The Media Institute of Southern Africa, in conjunction with the Southern Africa Trust, invites entries for the 2008 MISA Press Freedom Award, which recognises excellence in journalism. The award carries a cash prize of US$2,500.

The award is also in recognition of the work of an individual or institution where this is considered to have made a significant contribution to the promotion of media freedom in the region. The excellence which the award acknowledges can be achieved either through reportage or in other ways such as media reform, lobbying or training.

The MISA Press Freedom Award is open to all forms of media e.g. photography, print, video, Internet, or media associations and institutions. Eligible individuals or institutions should be based in the Southern African region.
