In 2021, Global Youth & News Media Prize created a Press Freedom Teacher award in its News/Media Literacy category to recognise the front-line teachers who were making sure students learn that quality journalism is a good thing to have around and that some people face grave dangers just to do that job.
For 2023, Global Youth & News Media Prize has expanded the award to include news media organisations and renamed it the Press Freedom Teaching Award.
