The 2026 Golden Pen of Freedom, WAN-IFRA’s annual press freedom award, will be awarded to the professional photographers and videographers working in Gaza.
“For over two and a half years, journalists in Gaza have recorded death, destruction and human suffering in unparalleled terms,” reads the award citation. “They are as much victims of the conflict as they are chroniclers of a war that erupted — and continues — around them.”
The award will be received by representatives of the three main international news agencies operating in Gaza — Agence France-Presse, The Associated Press and Reuters — whose local journalists continue to provide consistent, professional coverage under extremely challenging conditions.
