Each year, the NNC – in partnership with Journalists for Human Rights – awards the Fraser MacDougall Prize to an exceptional piece of human-rights-focused journalism. Click here to learn more about Fraser MacDougall and the annual award.
The Academic Initiative is a first-of-its-kind program that strives to link institutions of higher learning with trusted news organizations to produce an accountable news media ecosystem and a news literate public. By explaining the critical role quality journalism plays in a democracy, this program build a so-called ‘credibility alliance’ that champions the importance of accurate, peer-reviewed, information as a foundation for a strong and cohesive society.
