See what it looked like at the announcement of award winner Magda Gad earlier this year.
Magda Gad is a war correspondent for Expressen.
In 2017, she was awarded the Grand Journalist Prize in the class of this year's innovator for "Reporting from the front".
She receives the award because “with her multifaceted, deep narrative, she provides an alternative to today's black and white, polarizing media logic.
From within some of the world's most difficult hotbeds of conflict, she lifts the voices and experiences of individuals and sheds light on what many are trying to obscure.
Magda Gad's efforts to deepen and complicate the conversation about power and powerlessness, about politics and the individual, are close to the literary journalism that Stig Dagerman gave us from Europe after the Second World War. ”, As the Dagerman Society justifies it.
In the clip from when the award was announced, Magda Gad talks about the similarity between her and Dagerman's reporting from war-torn countries.
The prize money is SEK 50,000.
The prize was supposed to have been awarded on May 30 but was delayed by the pandemic.
