"The Gabo Foundation, based in Colombia and founded in 1994 by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez, has been named the winner of the 14th International Journalism Award of the Manu Leguineche Chair.
The award — granted by the Provincial Council of Guadalajara, the Federation of Journalists’ Associations of Spain (FAPE), the University of Alcalá and its foundation, the City Council of Brihuega, and the Guadalajara Press Association — was decided by a majority of the jury. In its ruling, the jury noted that the Gabo Foundation was created to promote ethical, innovative, rigorous and high-quality journalism.
In a statement, the provincial institution said the jury’s decision recognizes the foundation’s 'extraordinary role' in Ibero-American journalism through its training workshops. It also highlighted its work in media literacy and in addressing challenges facing news organizations and journalists, including disinformation, fake news and AI."
