The South African National Editors’ Forum has made a thrilling announcement of courageous and boldness journalists shortlisted for Standard Bank Sivukile Jouranlism Awards 2022.
“Selected from the 360 entries received this year, the ever-popular Features category boasted the most entries, followed by the Community Service Reporting, Columns/Editorial, Hard News, and Investigative Journalism categories,” Sanef said in a released statement on Tuesday, 10 May.
However, in this year’s awards, there are no shortlisted entries in the new category, Indigenous language reporting in community media (Category 2).
