The Amnesty International Media Awards were established in 1992 to recognise and celebrate the best in human rights journalism.
These awards recognise the breadth and quality of human rights reporting across the media.
Over the past two decades the awards have grown in prestige, recognising excellence in human rights reporting and acknowledging journalism’s significant contribution to the public awareness of human rights issues.
The 12 categories recognise newspaper, magazine, radio, TV, digital and student journalism. Each is judged by an independent panel.
