The Megalizzi-Niedzielski Awards are offered, every year, to aspiring journalists and honor the memory of Antonio Megalizzi and Bartek Piotr Orent-Niedzielski, young European journalists with a strong attachment to the EU and its values, who passed away after a terrorist attack in Strasbourg, in 2018. They aim to reward and encourage promising European journalists who share Antonio and Bartek’s enthusiasm for the European project.
This year’s ten finalists have been selected from among 350 journalists who sent their applications from across all the EU, accession states and neighboring countries.
One of them is Tamar Sikharulidze of Georgia. She is currently a 3rd year governance and social sciences student at Tbilisi Free University, a journalist at Tabula, who describes herself as an admirer of classic liberalism, big time fan of good humor, Italian B-list movies, and Memphis underground punk rock. Let’s listen to her, in an interview she granted to RRI’s Eugen Cojocariu, shortly after the awards ceremony.
