Wolfgang Ischinger on the reasons to present the M100 Media Award to #WomenLifeFreedom

16 August 2023. Prof. Dr Wolfgang Ischinger, former Chairman of the Munich Security Conference and member of the M100 Advisory Board, on the decision to honour the #WomenLifeFreedom Movement of Iran with this year’s M100 Media Award:

“The resistance movement of Iranian women against the oppressive regime in Tehran is an inspiring example for all those who stand up for individual dignity and personal freedom.
It is my wish that this year’s award to the Women Life Freedom Movement of Iran will further strengthen the movement of courageous women in Iran and their quest for freedom. I cannot think of a more appropriate and worthy laureate in 2023.”

M100YEJ: David Ilieski, 26, North Macedonia

14 August 2023. David Ilieski lives in Skopje and has been working as an investigative journalist at the Investigative Reporting Lab – IRL, a media organisation for investigative journalism, since 2018. As part of IRL, he has co-authored numerous stories exposing corruption, financial crime, illegal construction and political abuse of power.

“In North Macedonia, a developing country with its own unique set of challenges, climate change reporting is more important than ever,” he writes in his application text. “Our country is disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to economic limitations and less resilience compared to more affluent nations. Mainstream media, unfortunately, often overlooks this, allowing the power dynamics, illicit activities, and corruption contributing to environmental degradation to go unchecked. It’s not just an environmental crisis; it’s a social and political crisis deeply rooted in the lack of rule of law and the widespread corruption.
