Every Human Has Rights Media Awards

Citizen journalists were among the winners as the media watchdog and -entrepreneur Internews Europe hosted "Every Human Has Rights Awards" earlier this week.

The Paris-based NGO had invited mainstream and citizen journalists to submit world and current affairs reports and stories illustrating one or several articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 482 contributors from 108 countries took part, according to the award`s website.

It shouldn`t surprise anybody to see citizen journalists take the stage among mainstream journalists at events like this. The quality and scope of the contributions is impressive. The full list over contributions by citizen journalists awarded is here:
