As in previous editions, the jury (composed of representatives from various media outlets in the region) emphasized the thematic breadth of the submissions, which range from exposing human trafficking in the Caribbean to the resilience of indigenous communities facing the climate crisis in Canada, as well as investigations into corruption, organized crime, and forced migration.
A growing trend is the use of innovative narratives, combining data journalism and multimedia formats to connect with audiences on a deeper level and highlight the more human side of stories. The winners also reflect the strength of digital media and growing transnational collaboration in journalistic projects."
