The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) has won a prestigious international press freedom award, the first ever international prize for a journalists’ organization in the history of Somalia’s defense of press freedom.
The Reporters Without Borders - Fondation de France International Press Freedom Defender Award is an exemplary recognition of the union’s tenacious fight to defend the international principle of press freedom in a country ravaged by internal warfare, which has gone almost 15 years without effective government or law enforcement bodies.
