(ANSAMed) - ROME 13 AUG - The 4th edition of the
International Contest for Mediterranean Journalists has kicked
off, with this year's focus on the Arab Spring and its
aftermath.
The prize, organized and sponsored by the Italian region of
Puglia in conjunction with Holland, Cyprus and Romania, will be
divided into two sections: the Arab Spring, and Welcome and
Solidarity.
Themes arising from the Middle Eastern uprisings, such as
protest, democracy and freedom in regions in and around the
Mediterannean basin, will come under the spotlight, as well as
issues of solidarity and civil commitment in the wake of vast
refugee landings in the region.
A separate Special Prize for Reception and Solidarity with the Italian municipalities of Otranto and Lampedusa will also be awarded at the ceremony in Bari, on 1 Dec 2012. (ANSAmed).
