Submissions are now open for the Global Shining Light Award. This unique award, sponsored by the Global Investigative Journalism Network, honors investigative journalism in a developing or transitioning country, done under threat, duress, or in the direst of conditions. See the link at the bottom of this post to apply.
There will be two award categories: Small & Medium Outlets (organizations with staff of 20 or less, including freelancers); and Large Outlets (organizations with more than 20 staff). Top winners will receive an honorary plaque, US$2,500, and a trip to the November 2025 Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to accept the award in front of hundreds of their colleagues from around the world.
