The winner Dmitry Andreyevich Muratov is a Russian journalist who co-founded the Russian anti-government newspaper “Novaya Gazeta“ in 1993 and has worked as editor-in-chief for 24 years since 1995. The newspaper, which has been critical of the Vladimir Putin regime, has killed six reporters since its foundation. Articles have been delivered exposing and criticizing corruption, police misconduct, election corruption, and pro-government comment units. The committee explained that Muratov “has defended freedom of speech in an increasingly rough environment over decades in Russia.“
Muratov, who heard the news of the award, said, “This Nobel Peace Prize is not for me or individuals, but for reporters who died (working for the newspaper).“ “We will continue to represent the oppressed Russian media,“ he told Telegram news channel “Podium,“ adding, “We will try to help those who are branded as foreign intelligence officers, attacked, and deported from abroad.“ According to Reuters, the Russian Presidential Office said about Muratov‘s award, “He has devoted himself to his ideology and worked stubbornly as a talented and courageous person,“ adding, “Congratulations.“ In response, the Philippine media Rappler, led by Resa, said, “The Kremlin welcomes the fact that a journalist who criticizes the regime has received the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Committee said earlier on March 1 that 329 people, including 234 individuals and 95 groups, were nominated for this year‘s Nobel Peace Prize. Press conferences without borders, the CPJ, and the International Fact-checking Network were mentioned as media candidates. The Nobel Peace Prize began in 1901 and was awarded for the 102nd time this year. The winner of the Peace Prize will be awarded 10 million Swedish krona (about 1.35 billion won). This year‘s Nobel Peace Prize ceremony will be held on December 10 at the auditorium of the University of Oslo, Norway, in time for Alfred Nobel‘s anniversary. The date and place are the same as usual, but considering the COVID-19 incident, the scale will be reduced from last year.
