Applications are being invited for the Social and Environmental Responsibility world journalism prize set up to reward the best articles on social and environmental responsibility published around the world. Every year three prizes will be awarded by the Social and Environmental Responsibility World Forum in partnership with the World Editors Forum:
- A prize dedicated to a specific topic chosen each year by the World Forum for its International Meeting in October,
- A prize specifically dedicated to the press in developing countries,
- A non specialist Social and Environmental Responsibility Prize (open to all articles on any subject linked to Social and environmental Responsibility)
The topic for 2007 is 'Diversity and equal opportunities'.
