Join us Nov. 13 at our 2025 Awards Dinner to honor the achievements of brave colleagues whose outstanding news reports have made a huge impact. Many are intrepid reporters who often put their lives on the line to bring us information. Today they face unprecedented challenges, and need our help – and recognition – more than ever.

We will also celebrate ICFJ+, our exciting new partnership with civic tech powerhouse Code for Africa and systems builder PROTO of India, both organizations that we helped incubate through our Knight Fellowships. Together, we are working to cultivate civic intelligence – information that helps people make sense of their world and act constructively to shape it.

For one inspiring evening, U.S. headliners will join those working in countries where independent media are facing multiple challenges, showcasing the importance of trustworthy news and the difference it can make in people's lives. 

becoming a sponsor, you can support our work empowering journalists – and our efforts to forge stronger, more effective news and information ecosystems for all.
