The launch of the Apu Juniori magazine nominated for Journalistic Act of the Year

The jury’s comments:

A science and current affairs magazine intended for young schoolchildren provides an alternative to staring at the screen and writes real news stories about the world. The magazine has had articles about the climate crisis, bullying at school, the sea plastic problem and pocket money, among other things. The goal is to encourage children to express their views, function as active citizens, think critically and believe in themselves. This children’s print magazine is a fresh and bold project in an era when children are only expected to be interested in the online world.

Sonja Saarikoski from Image nominated Journalist of the Year

The jury’s comments:

Sonja Saarikoski is a writer with a highly distinctive voice. She goes beyond the ordinary. Her topics are interesting by nature, but addressed by her they gain even more dimensions that are completely new and surprising. Her way of writing about her themes and her story structures can occasionally be challenging to the readers, but at the same time her texts are also rewarding and thoroughly engaging. Saarikoski has achieved a reform in the way magazines tell their stories.
