YOUNG HUMANITARIAN JOURNALISTS 2021

Posted on November 21, 2021 ·
What role does the media play in reporting humanitarian crises? How does journalism extend its influence to humanitarian issues? Since the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, has the world given enough attention to other humanitarian issues of concern, from the rise in global nuclear tensions to the events unfolding in Myanmar and Afghanistan?

These are some of the issues that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), hope to explore via the Young Humanitarian Journalists Competition 2021 launched today.
The competition is an expansion of the Young Humanitarian Writers Competition organized since 2015. Young aspiring journalists are invited to raise awareness on humanitarian issues via their entries, while being careful not to cause additional harm to the people they are reporting about.
