ORGANISATIONS 2024
European Press Prize (EPP)
The mission of the European Press Prize is to celebrate and encourage European journalism of the highest quality — to help counter the effects of a transforming, pressured market and fragile press freedom and to stimulate journalists to keep contributing to the quality of European journalism.
Formed by seven independent European foundations with reliable media connections, the Prize is striving to remain a resilient organisation that is equipped to continue offering journalists all over Europe a source of legitimacy in a time where trust in journalism is declining.
