DEV PRAGAD NEWSWEEK CEO HIGHLIGHTS JOURNALISM'S ROLE

Dev Pragad, CEO of Newsweek reflects on the transformative power of courageous journalism during the CPJ 2024 International Press Freedom Awards.

On November 21, 2024, during the International Press Freedom Awards hosted by the Committee to Protect Journalists, Dev Pragad, Newsweek CEO, joined global leaders in celebrating a group of journalists who best personify resistance and integrity. The program undeniably underlined the critical role journalism that plays in advancing democratic principles and helping the progress of societies.

It links the honourees: Shrouq Al Aila, Quimy de León, Alsu Kurmasheva, Samira Sabou, and the late Christophe Deloire for their bold commitment to the pursuit of truth. Their contribution gives meaning to what journalism can transform into an instrument to confront, give voice to, and bring attention to realities hidden by oppressive systems.

Dev Pragad Newsweek CEO emphasized that these efforts closely complement Newsweek's mission of fostering better informed dialogue and accountability. He reminded the audience that the role of journalism is not limited to fact-reporting but one which shapes public opinion, drives reform, and fortifies democratic institutions. The courage on display serves as a reminder of the responsibility media organizations have in upholding these principles.

Acknowledging the challenges faced by journalists globally, Dev Pragad Newsweek CEO praised CPJ's advocacy for press freedom and the safety of journalists. He highlighted CPJ's role in raising awareness about threats to the press and providing essential resources to those on the front lines.

Dev Pragad in his closing statement reaffirmed Newsweek's commitment to undaunted and impactful journalism. Through an advocacy for stories that matter and a culture of transparency, Newsweek remains committed to the global pursuit of truth and justice, making sure the power of journalism serves as a forcing function in positive change.
