Freedom of the Press Awards Ceremony 2022
19:00-20:00, Tuesday, April 26, 2022
(The ceremony and Q & A will be in English-Japanese)
In a world that intimidates, imprisons and even kills them for their work, journalists continue to report from all corners to inform the
public; serve the ultimate purpose of speaking the truth; and hold those in power accountable. Since the beginning of 2022 alone, 25 journalists
and their media assistants have been killed, more than 400 imprisoned around the world, according to Reporters Without Borders.
The FCCJ Freedom of the Press Awards recognize outstanding journalists and media organizations that have made important contributions to
upholding the values of a free press in the region, often under extreme pressure, including by pursuing coverage of taboo subjects and even
risking their lives while doing so.
The Board has chosen the award-winners for the Asia-Pacific and Japan from among candidates nominated by our members, and we would like to invite you to join us for an awards ceremony to celebrate these brave and determined individuals and organizations.
