About Lorenzo Natali Media Prize

For three decades, the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize (#NataliPrize) has honored the courage of journalists whose stories shine a light on the common challenges facing our planet and its people.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize returns to support international partnerships and inspire a new generation of reporters. It rewards excellent reporting on the topics of: 

• inequality
• poverty eradication
• sustainable development
• environment, biodiversity, climate action
• digital
• jobs and employment
• education and skills development
• migration
• healthcare
• peace, democracy and human rights

The #NataliPrize was created by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA), and named after Lorenzo Natali, a precursor to the international partnerships approach to global challenges impacting society.
