Independent Arabia journalist Aya Mansour has won the 2025 Kurt Schork Memorial Award for International Journalism.
The Independent’s sister publication triumphed in the local reporter category, marking the 10th award the platform has received since its launch in 2019. Mansour was recognised for her rigorous and courageous investigative reporting in Iraq, and commended by the judges for work that “vitally shed light on the mechanics of oppression”.
