Qazi Shibli, a journalist from Kashmir, has made the shortlist for the coveted Journalist of the Year prize at the One Young World awards.
The Kashmiriyat, where he serves as editor, has included articles from the editor, who is a 30-year-old journalist from Kashmir. The most recent publications to feature his writing are Polis Project and Himal South Asia Magazine.
Qazi Shibli was honoured with the International Kamaran Award last year. The Fetisov Journalism Award also named him a finalist.
Qazi Shibli, the only representative of India’s media community, has been named one of 15 finalists.
The Journalist of the Year Award is given out by the UK-based organisation One Young World to recognise and promote five of the world’s most influential journalists who are making a difference through their work.
There are thousands of journalists throughout the world who apply for the prize, but only fifteen may be considered for the final round of voting.
