These are values that underpin WAN-IFRA and signify the continued importance of upholding, and showing our solidarity with, those on the front lines, wherever they may be. Today\u2019s laureates exemplify this tenfold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing down numerous challenges to deliver independent journalism and reliable coverage, Gazeta Wyborcza established the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation in 2019 to safeguard the publication\u2019s future and strengthen quality journalism in Poland. Its projects have denounced neo-fascist organisations, fought disinformation, polarisation, and xenophobia, and supported local and regional media to produce investigative journalism. Over the past year, the foundation has been coordinating critical financial and technical support to Ukrainian colleagues from across Europe following the Russian invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe deteriorating condition of Polish democracy means that civic engagement is needed now more than ever,\u201d said Joanna Krawczyk, head of partnerships at Gazeta Wyborcza and president of the board of the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation, accepting the award on behalf of the Foundation. \u201cThe events of recent months and years have shown with full force the scale of the challenges facing our democracies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA media house that faces down dozens upon dozens of lawsuits from government and its allies, and counters regular efforts to undermine its integrity; one that has established a foundation to ensure a future whereby its work reaches far beyond its circulation &#8211; all of this has required leadership, purpose, and courage,\u201d continued Mr Fernandez. \u201cGazeta Wyborcza and the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation are showing us the way, providing just that. Showing there is indeed, \u201cno freedom without solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden Pen of Freedom is WAN-IFRA&#8217;s annual award recognising individuals or organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to the defence and promotion of press freedom. One of the objectives of the Golden Pen is to turn the spotlight of public attention on repressive governments and the journalists who fight them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laureate is nominated from a shortlist of candidates by the board of the World Editors Forum. The first Golden Pen of Freedom was awarded in 1961.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 Golden Pen of Freedom, the annual press freedom award of the World Association of News Publishers, has been awarded to Gazeta Wyborcza and the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation in Poland.
