Potsdam, 4 August 2023. This year’s M100 Media Award will be presented to the Iranian Women, Life, Freedom movement. The award honours courageous women and girls – and also men – who protest against oppression and for freedom and human rights in their home countries.
They are risking their freedom and their lives in these protests to protest against decades of gender inequality and discrimination against women in Iran. By honouring the Life, Women, Freedom Movement of Iran, M100 supports the struggle for fundamental freedoms, and advocates for an immediate end to state violence and the safe release of thousands of politically imprisoned citizens.
The award will be accepted on behalf of the movement by the Iranian women’s rights activist, Shima Babaei, who has been living in exile in Belgium since 2020.
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will deliver the laudatory speech.
The Award ceremony will be hosted by TV journalist Pinar Atalay.

M100YEJ: Dimitrios Theologidis, 22, Greece

3 August 2023. Should journalism change in the face of growing crises like climate change – or not? That’s what we asked the applicants for this year’s M100 Young European Journalists Workshop, which will take place in Potsdam from 10 to 14 September on the topic of climate reporting – and its significance for democracy.
Dimitros Theologidis, who has just graduated at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, has a clear answer: Yes!

Dimitrios is very interested in aspects of journalism and communication, such as environmental journalism, as well as international relations. In his final thesis, “Minority influence on the construction of social identities in an intergroup context”, he studied Greek attitudes towards the country’s main migrant groups and other minorities.

An overview of the other 19 participants and the workshop leaders can be found here.
