Voces Emergentes Ecuador team wins 2024 national journalism award

Ecuadorian journalists from Quito were awarded Honorable Mention for Reporting in Digital Media by the National Journalists' Union of Ecuador for their Voces Emergentes Ecuador project titled "In the Bubble: how to survive Down syndrome in Ecuador." The award winners are: (l-r) Gabriela Coba, with Primicias, Kevin Hidalgo with Revista Vistazo, Emilia Paz y Miño with GK Ecuador, and Manuel Novik with Plan V. They completed their project in six weeks during the 2023 Voces Emergentes Ecuador program organized by InquireFirst.

A compassionate, data-driven project by a team of early-career Ecuadorian journalists who participated in our Voces Emergentes Ecuador program was awarded Honorable Mention for Reporting in Digital Media by the National Journalists’ Union of Ecuador in February 2024.

Gabriela Coba, an Quito-based journalist with Primicias, Kevin Hidalgo with Revista Vistazo, Emilia Paz y Miño with GK Ecuador, and Manuel Novik with Plan V,  produced their in-depth project, In the bubble: how to survive Down Syndrome in Ecuador, in just six weeks during Voces Emergentes Ecuador.

Working as a team and guided by editor Gabriel Pasquini, a columnist with The Washington Post, the four journalists researched, wrote and published their multimedia project in August 2023.

This prestigious recognition of Voces Emergentes is the latest honor bestowed on work produced by Latin American journalists who are supported by InquireFirst grants.
