THE African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC), with support from Absa, is accepting entries for the African Investigative Journalist of the Year Award.
The Award, supported by Absa, recognises outstanding examples of investigative reporting from Africa that reveal untold stories, hold the powerful to account, question those in public life and serve the public interest.
Major travel costs like flights, accommodation and transport will be covered for the finalists.
The organiser says the award is open to all African journalists or teams of journalists working in any media for stories from and about Africa published or broadcast in African media between 1 June 2023 to 1 July 2024.
African journalists can submit their investigative stories and compete for a cash prize.
The winner will receive US$5,000 and will be recognised during the award ceremony at the AIJC in November.
The deadline for the submission of entries is September 27, 2024. Interested applicants can apply here.
