The jury of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism has shortlisted ten investigations for the sixth edition of the award, the European Parliament announced on Thursday.
What Parliament is doing
The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism recognises investigative reporting. For its sixth edition, the prize jury selected ten investigations to advance to the shortlist stage. The announcement was made in a European Parliament press release that provided the shortlist figure but did not list the individual investigations or their authors.
Why it matters
The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize was established to honour investigative journalism and its role in public life. Shortlisting ten investigations for the sixth edition signals the continuation of the award cycle and highlights the Parliament’s ongoing support for investigative reporters. The prize bears the name of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist whose death prompted the creation of an annual award recognising investigative work; the press release states that this is the sixth edition but does not provide further context about the prize’s history or criteria in this announcement.
What happens next
The press release does not specify the next procedural steps, such as when the winner will be announced, how the final selection will be made, or any associated events. It only states that the jury has produced a shortlist of ten investigations for the sixth edition of the prize.
