The Caravan magazine has been awarded the 2023 Shorenstein Journalism Award for its “coverage that champions accountability and media independence in the face of India's democratic backsliding”, the Stanford University’s Walter H Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center has announced.
The selection committee noted that the Caravan and its executive editor Hartosh Singh Bal have led the “last bastion of bold investigative journalism in India under extreme duress”. The APARC will present Bal with the Shorenstein award at a ceremony at Stanford University in the autumn quarter.
