Applications for the Walter Reuter German Journalism Award 2020 are now open. This is an award for Mexican and Latin American journalists who publish in Mexican media. Journalism professionals who publish in print, on radio, on television or on the Internet can participate.
It is an effort in which, for the first time in history, nine German institutions with very different interests and jobs come together to promote freedom of expression and to recognize quality journalistic activity in Mexico. This award is intended to further encourage journalists to treat current issues with professionalism and depth.
