The Kurt Schork Awards

The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund honors work in three categories: one to a freelance journalist covering international news, one to a reporter living and working in a developing nation – or a country in transition – and one to recognize the unsung work of news fixers.

The three winners each receive a US $5,000 cash prize. Every year, an event is held in London in late October or November, where the winners’ work is celebrated in front on an audience drawn from international media and influential bodies concerned with promoting social justice, democracy, and global dialogue.
