The Free Media Awards 2024 each year recognizes newsrooms and journalists who show courage and carry out their work professionally during major upheavals in their region.
The award organizers noted that the series of Bihus.Info investigations into reconstruction schemes was one of the powerful examples of reporting and a significant argument for the win. They also emphasized the team’s brave and impressive work in the case of investigating surveillance of journalists by SBU officers.
“Today Ukrainian journalists face many trials during the war. Our cities are subjected to shelling, and our power is often cut. Despite everything, Bihus.Info has exposed corruption for eleven consecutive years. We can do investigations because Ukraine is a democratic country. Even during the war many registries and datasets are open.
You can hear a lot about corruption in Ukraine because we Ukrainians are not indifferent and we try to fight corruption. It’s all difficult, but we could not do this without the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian service members,” says Nataliya Lazarovych, the author of several pieces about reconstruction on Bihus.Info.
In 2023 the Free Media Awards laureates included Sevgil Musayeva from Ukrainska Pravda and Yurii Nikolov from Nashi Hroshi.
