DAN DAVID PRIZE


The Dan David Prize annually awards three prizes of US$ 1 million each for achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact on the world. In 2006, one of the prizes will be awarded to a journalist working in print media who has contributed to the field of journalism as a whole and has had a significant impact on today's society.

Special attention will be paid to candidates who promote human rights, democracy and pluralism; encourage freedom of political and cultural expression; oppose discrimination of any kind; condemn the use of media as propaganda or to promote intolerance and conflict; and act as catalysts for positive change.
