Opportunity description
The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund (KSMF) honors international journalists who seek to illuminate the human condition through brave reporting of conflicts, corruption and human rights. (KSMF) is now accepting submissions for its 2018 awards in international journalism. The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund has sought to support those journalists who work as freelancers and local reporters, mostly unsung and all too often fraught with danger.
The 17th annual call for awards is therefore now split into three categories:
[1] A Local Reporter award that recognizes the often over-looked work of journalists in developing nations or countries in transition who write about events in their homeland.
[2] A Freelance award for those journalists who travel to the world’s conflict zones, usually at great personal risk, to witness and report the impact and consequences of events.
[3] A News Fixer award rewarding local journalists and/or experts, hired by a visiting foreign reporter or news organization, whose guidance and local knowledge materially benefited the content, impact and reach of the stories submitted.
