European Press Prize

At the European Press Prize, we take pride in our mission to celebrate and encourage high-quality European journalism. This is especially true at a time when media outlets struggle to maintain financial sustainability and press freedom in Europe falls under increasing pressure.

As X (formerly Twitter) becomes an ever more comfortable home for the unabated spread of disinformation and the online abuse of journalists, we no longer feel that the platform is a suitable place for us to carry out our mission. It is for this reason that we have taken the decision to leave X.

You can still find us on Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Links in the thread below!

From our archives 📚 One powerful story: "Infertility: The Other Face of Motherhood". We often take fertility for granted, until obstacles appear. And due to the emotional and economic cost of infertility, another problem must be added: the social pressure to have children and the secrecy with which it is carried.
