That work of engaging the young starts with assuring this new generation understands and appreciates the role of journalism in guarding free expression, and France's news media as a whole has received the top World Young Reader Prize in a special teaching freedom category for their sensitive and instructive handling of the attacks in January that left 17 dead including five prominent cartoonists at the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Denmark's Kids' News children's newspaper won a sliver award in this category for similar treatment of those events.
India's Youth Ki Awaz online initiative took the top enduring excellence award in public service, and three news operations tied for the top award in editorial: Press4Kids (USA) for News-O-Matic app for children, South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) for Young Post edition coverage of Occupy Central movement and Yomiuri Shimbun (Japan) for its Chukosei Shimbun special edition and cellphone initiative targeting adolescents. Germany's SHZ Druck und Medien took the top brand award for its Mini World Cup that attracted considerable sponsorship and a wide following. Top prize in the special digital first category went to Heilbronner Stimme (Germany) for its #4dez experimental mobile you-are-there World War II experience, and top prize in news in education went to Het Belang van Limburg (Belgium) for its initiative to help teachers-in-training learn how to teach about 21st century news.
