A visual summary of the 2019 Award Ceremony

As you may have read, the winners of the European Press Prize 2019 were announced at the official 2019 Award Ceremony at Gazeta Wyborcza in Warsaw on May 23. We had the pleasure of welcoming Eva Hilhorst, founder of Drawing The Times, to the event to create a visual summary of the evening ceremony and the full day program.

Eva’s visual summary includes highlights from Natalie Nougayrède’s keynote talk, Gazeta Wyborcza’s welcome speech by Adam Michnik (editor-in-chief) and Bartosz Wielinski (foreign editor, member of the European Press Prize preparatory committee), insights from the sessions by Brigitte Alfter (ARENA) and Oliver Schröm (CORRECTIV), Nadja Groot and Nienke Venema from the Democracy and Media Foundation, Forbidden Stories, and more.
