Journalists from Georgia, India, Mexico and Togo will be honored this fall at the 2023 International Press Freedom Awards, which celebrate courageous reporters from around the world. The Committee to Protect Journalists, which administers the award, announced Thursday the four journalists who would be honored. This year’s honorees include Georgia’s Nika Gvaramia, India’s Shahina K.K., Mexico’s Maria Teresa Montaño and Togo’s Ferdinand Ayité. He served more than a year of a 3.5-year prison term for alleged abuse of office before being released last week. CPJ also announced Thursday it will honor Alberto Ibargüen, president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, with the 2023 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award.
