Teresia Nzau and Vita Dadoo were our joint runners-up with awards of $1,000. They will also become 2023 FPA fellows.

Teresia is a doctoral student at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and is an accredited journalist with the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) and has over 10 years of experience in broadcast media.

Vita is a masters student at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. She is a bilingual journalist from Mexico City with roots in India and Eastern Europe.

We want to take this opportunity to thank the family of Suzanne Adams, and all those who made donations in her name that helped us underwrite this year’s scholarships. We will be interviewing each of our winners on the role of objectivity and balance for the next generation of international journalists in the coming weeks. ​

AWARDS CEREMONY POSTPONED

Since FPA president Ian Williams has been in and out of hospital over the last few weeks, we have decided to postpone our planned awards reception. Ian is slowly recovering – and joins us in congratulating our awardees. More details will follow regarding rescheduling. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
