SEE ANNOUNCEMENT: 2022 UN CORRESPONDENTS ASSOCIATION AWARDS FOR BEST JOURNALISTIC COVERAGE OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND UN AGENCIES – WINNERS WILL BE HONORED BY THE UN SECRETARY-GENERAL H.E. ANTÓNIO GUTERRES – DECEMBER 2022 (DATE TBD) IN NEW YORK – ( See Announcement )
New York, December 8 – The United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA) held its 25th anniversary of the UNCA Awards for best print, broadcast (TV & Radio) and online, web-based media coverage of COVID-19, climate change and the United Nations, UN agencies and field operations.
While the UNCA Awards 25th anniversary was put on hold in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year UNCA returned to hosting the annual event in December, honoring excellence in journalism around the globe.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a message to the event that the pandemic “reminded us yet again that free and independent journalism is essential to peace, justice, and human rights for all – and the greatest weapon to combat misinformation and disinformation. No society can flourish if its media landscape withers under an onslaught of repression, harassment and other pressures.”
“Today and every day, the United Nations is committed to stand with you in defense of press freedom,” he said.
