The Asian College of Journalism (ACJ) Awards has opened nominations for entries for the investigative journalism and social impact categories. The Media Development Foundation (MDF), the trust that administers ACJ, announced the opening of nominations for the awards and invited journalists and news organisations to submit entries for consideration by the awards committee and jury.
The ACJ Award for Investigative Journalism will carry a trophy, citation, and cash prize of ₹2 lakh. The judging criteria will include the nature of the investigation, its impact and the extent of the public interest involved. Investigative journalism, for the purpose of the award, will be that which exposes wrongdoing in the public interest.
