IJNET:The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) is accepting nominations for its 2014 prizes honoring outstanding journalists.
The Courage in Journalism Awards honor women journalists who set themselves apart by their extraordinary bravery. Facing and surviving danger to uncover the truth, they raise the bar for reporting under duress.
IWMF also recognizes the pioneers who kicked down barriers to make it possible for women all over the world to find their voices and make them heard. Lifetime Achievement Award winners persevered, opening doors for future generations to make a difference.
Full-time, part-time or freelance women journalists currently working in print, broadcast or online media in any country are eligible. Candidates for the Lifetime Achievement Award can be retired.
Journalists cannot nominate themselves. Candidates must be named by colleagues, employers, journalists or others. The application deadline is Feb. 14.
