Applications are open for the Walter Reuter German Journalism Prize 2024. The Walter Reuter German Journalism Prize (PAPWR) is an award aimed at Mexican and Latin American journalists who publish in Mexican media. Journalism professionals who publish in print, radio, television or the Internet can participate.
It is an effort in which, for the first time in history, nine German institutions with very different interests and work, come together to promote freedom of expression and grant recognition to quality journalistic activity in Mexico. The aim of this award is to additionally encourage journalists to deal with current issues with professionalism and depth.
