The prospective Laureate will possess a proven track record of success within her newsroom, have demonstrated uncompromising editorial integrity throughout her career, and have a strong commitment to the principles of press freedom and its power to promote democracy and good governance. She must have a demonstrated commitment to gender equality, mentoring and lifting up her members of staff while building an organisational culture that embraces equality.
WAN-IFRA WIN encourages news media (newspapers, magazines, and digital-only) of all sizes from the sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab Region, and Southeast Asia to submit nominations. Eligible nominees must hold a senior editorial role as of 1 January 2023.
