A prize finally awarded in Paris. Initially, this award for excellence in French-speaking journalism, considered one of the most prestigious in the world, was to be presented this year in Lebanon. Recent events in the region have forced the jury and organizers to change capital: “This tragic news forces us to postpone the date of the 2024 Prizes, as well as to certainly consider a location other than the Lebanese capital and its Beirut Livres literary festival. Our solidarity, our friendship, our esteem accompany a country which is so close to us, and all those who, thanks to their journalistic commitment, allow us to know, see and understand. »
