The Fetisov Journalism Awards (FJA) is the world's richest journalism prize, awarded annually and open to journalists worldwide. [1]
The main goal say the founders is to promote outstanding examples of ethical, independent and responsible journalism as a public good. [2] The awards are granted in four categories for excellence in Investigative Journalism, Environmental Journalism, Reporting Civil Liberties and Conflict Resolution. The FJA has no entry fee and is open to journalists and news organisations on all platforms of media, including freelancers and consortia of journalists working across bordersEach category winner receives a cash award of more than $100,000. [3]
The awards were launched in 2018 on the initiative of philanthropist and entrepreneur Gleb Fetisov and are funded from a charitable family foundation established for the purpose in Switzerland. According to a report in Forbes Russia by Anastasia Lyalikova, the idea of establishing a prize trust came a few years ago from human rights defender Eva Merkacheva. Merkacheva told Forbes: “An idea emerged to establish a prize not unlike the Nobel Prize, but in journalism.” She said one of the reasons that prompted Fetisov to think about the award was the criminal case of fraud initiated against him in February 2014. "It was the journalists who drew attention to the trial against Fetisov. This prompted the billionaire to establish the award." [4]
According to dissident and independent Russian journalists, the Awards revive a tradition of Russian philanthropy dating back to the Nineteenth Century. [5]
Among the current experts and jurors are Ricardo Gutierrez, Secretary-General of the European Federation of Journalists; Ann Cooper, professor of journalism at Columbia University and former Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists; and Frane Moroevic, Executive Director of the International Press Institute.
The first annual award ceremony of the FJA took place in Zurich in 2019. Awards for 2022 were presented at a ceremony in Dubai in April 2023 and for 2023 at a ceremony in Istanbul in 2024. The awards are presented on Earth Day, April 22 each year.
The winners are selected from a shortlist for each category prepared by the judges and the process of selection is subject to verification by an independent international auditing body. The award prize money is allocated to the winners who have full discretion to use it as they see fit.
The 2020, award winner Colombian María Teresa Ronderos, said the award was "an excessively generous prize, which for us is a small fortune. We decided right away that we would put it to the service of the same cause, that of civil rights, instead of sharing it among ourselves. [6]
"We wouldn't have felt good telling stories of people who suffer to achieve their dreams and profit from it. We decided to make a donation to two organizations that work with migrants on the Panama-Mexico border... and agreed that we would do another great report on civil rights in the region."
FJA partners include the International Press Institute, Reporters Without Borders, and the Ethical Journalism Network. The FJA has also launched a series of educational and topical discussions on current aspects of journalism, Winning Stories.
