Fourth Academy Global Youth & News Media Prize

Fourth Academy won an international award! Our work in training aspiring journalists and impact-driven content creators was just recognised by the Global Youth & News Media Prize.

We are the first Malaysian organisation to receive the Prize, which was announced on Sept 15 in conjunction with the @UnitedNations International Day for Democracy.

Fourth Academy joins six other laureates — educators, news media organisations and educational NGOs — from Canada, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United States.

The award recognises “ground-breaking news/media literacy work serving children and teenagers to understand the worth of having journalism in society and the grave dangers faced by some who do that job”.

We dedicate this award to all our amazing #FourthCreators. Your passion for making a difference in the world through impact-driven content inspires us to keep doing what we do.

And to everyone else who have supported us — our corporate training clients, NGO partners, workshop participants, and funders — thank you for making this a reality. We look forward to many more milestones and successes together!

🌏 Global Youth & News Media, founded as a French nonprofit in 2018, focuses on recognizing and spreading excellent practice in the engagement of news media with the young and vice versa.
