Congratulations to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov on this important recognition which confirms the crucial role of journalism for democracy.
Ressa and Muratov received the Peace Prize for their courageous fight for freedom of expression in the Philippines and Russia. At the same time, they are representatives of all journalists who stand up for this ideal in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions.
Journalismfund.eu strongly believes that independent cross-border investigative journalism is the main channel to promote democracy in Europe.
