Commenting on the event, the Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, said: “The Lorenzo Natali Media Prize celebrates its 30th anniversary.
“Democratic backsliding that we have witnessed during the pandemic, hybrid threats, disinformation and shrinking space for civil society are all worrying phenomena, which brave journalists tackle.
“As showcased at the Summit for Democracy in December, the EU is a firm supporter of fundamental freedoms and those who defend them, often with high personal risk.
“The Lorenzo Natali Media Prize is a symbol of our support to those who give voice to the voiceless and bring truth to light.”
