The Inter-American Press Association (SIP) announced on Friday the winners of the Journalistic Excellence Award 2020, the same day that it posthumously awarded the Grand Prize for Press Freedom 2020 to more than 100 journalists who lost their lives in the exercise of their profession because of COVID-19.
In a note, the president of the IAPA Award Committee, Leonor Mulero, stressed that “the press in the Americas continues to do its best, leading the denunciation of social ills, reflecting our daily tragedies and highlighting the advances in the improvement of our societies “.
