Alexandria—
Four journalists from Belgium, Slovenia, Israel and Turkey won the Second Edition of the “Euro-Med Journalist Prize for Cultural Dialogue” for the year 2007.
The Euro-Med Journalist Prize for Cultural Dialogue was first established in 2006 by the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures, hosted by the BA; and the International Federation of Journalists to encourage reporting on citizens, in the European and Mediterranean space, living together in culturally diversified societies.
The winners were selected, by an International Jury, among seventy-six candidates who participated in the competition from all over the 37 countries of the Euro-Mediterranean region. The four winners will receive a trophy and an award of 5000 Euros for each during a bestowing ceremony.
The topics of this year winning articles were quite diverse and thus broaden the readers' horizons on current situation of cultural dialogue in the region. Some of the articles illustrate successful models and projects in the dialogue field, and so enhance mutual understanding and respect. Other articles, however, evoke warning conditions of some areas in the Euro-Med region and, as a result, plead for an immediate start of Dialogue between conflicting parties.
