Journalists may be in line for Nobel recognitionThe Norwegian Nobel Committee may choose to award this year’s peace price to journalists fighting against misinformation. This year’s Peace Prize will be announced October 9. The top pick for the 2020 prize is the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Peace Research Institute Oslo -- an independent academic institution that ranks possible winners -- said on Monday, Bloomberg reports. Press freedom and journalists have regularly emerged as potential favorites for the peace prize in previous years. Urdal and Sveen handicap the candidates ahead of the award, and they have had some success in predicting previous winners.
