Panos and the Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP) are inviting submissions for the 2005 Reporting on the Information Society awards.

The topic for this year is 'Where is the money for bridging the digital divide?'

Four awards of $1,000 each will be made for the best journalism on this topic produced by journalists in
developing and transition countries.

The winners will also be invited to participate in the World Summit on the Information Society, in Tunis, in November 2005.

These awards, which were launched by Panos and GKP in 2003, aim to encourage and bring to international recognition thoughtful and incisive reporting that goes beyond merely describing information projects or new investment initiatives, but also analyses their social and political impacts and policy implications.
