Data Journalism Awards now accepting submissions
The Global Editors Network (GEN) on Thursday announced
the launch of the first annual Data Journalism Awards (DJA), an
international competition recognising outstanding work in the growing
field of data journalism. The GEN initiative is supported by Google and
is organised in collaboration with the European Journalism Centre.
An international jury of data journalism and media experts will select
six winning submissions. Jury members have been selected from
international media companies including the New York Times,
Reuters, and Les Echos and the president of the Jury is Paul Steiger,
founder of ProPublica. A total prize amount of EUR 45,000 (around USD 57,000) will be awarded to the six
winning projects. The competition is open to media companies, non-profit organisations,
freelancers and individuals until 10 April 2012. The six winning
projects will be announced by jury members at the annual News World
Summit (NEWS!) being held in Paris, France, from 30 May to 01 June 2012
and hosted by the Global Editors Network. (EJC)
