Goldziher Prize for Journalists Award

The Goldziher Prize is an international journalism award inspired by the legacy of Ignác Goldziher, a pioneering scholar whose work fostered deeper understanding between Jewish and Muslim intellectual traditions. The Prize recognizes high-quality journalism that promotes nuanced, responsible and informed public discourse on Muslim–Jewish relations.

In 2025, the organizers honoured journalistic initiatives and organizations that reflected the values of the Prize’s namesake. Five initiatives were recognized for advancing religion reporting in journalism education, supporting young Palestinian refugee journalists, strengthening coverage of minority communities across the MENA region, amplifying peacebuilders, and elevating MENA voices in U.S. media.

The 2026 Goldziher Prize will join in celebrating the Making Peace Visible Story Awards to support journalism that highlights peacemaking as a central narrative in conflict reporting. See history of the Goldziher Prize
