Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict.
For journalists, reporting on conflict-related sexual violence carries a responsibility to interview with care and respect.
In For the Record: Covering War and Conflict, produced by Thomson and the @EBU_HQ, journalist Chris McGreal explains why the interview must remain on the survivor’s terms.

Thomson’s 2025 Young Journalist Award winner Tracy Bonareri Onchoke and runner-up Wangu Kanuri visited London in May for three days of training, networking and professional development.

The Kenyan journalists, who were unable to attend the FPA Awards in November because of visa delays, took part in a mobile journalism masterclass with Thomson trainer Cassius Rayner and attended Newsrewired, a journalism conference exploring the future of news in the digital and AI age.

Congratulations to our long-term partner, the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate, on being awarded the @UNESCO /Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize 2026.
This recognition honours the courage of Sudanese journalists who continue to defend truth and press freedom in extremely difficult and dangerous conditions.
At a time when Sudan’s conflict has made independent reporting more vital than ever, their work is a powerful reminder of why journalism matters.
#WorldPressFreedom #PressFreedom #Sudan #Journalism #MediaFreedom @sdjs_official

[Khaled El-Enany @UNESCO_DG]

Today, I awarded the 2026 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize to the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate.

In the face of conflict, its members have shown extraordinary courage, continuing to report, to document attacks against journalists, and to support their colleagues, often at great personal risk.

Their work reminds us that freedom of expression is not abstract. It is an essential lifeline, providing access to information, to safety, and to connection.

Let us honour their resilience, their integrity, and their unwavering commitment to truth.
