Ravish Kumar has done India’s journalistic fraternity proud by winning the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay award 2019. Ravish Kumar, who worked with NDTV has been named for “harnessing journalism to give voice to the voiceless” and his “unfaltering commitment to professional, ethical journalism of the highest standards.”
The award, equivalent of the Nobel, recognises the “greatness of spirit and transformative leadership in Asia”. Ravish is among the five recipients of this year’s award.
His citation describes him as a sober, incisive and well-informed anchor who has been most vocal on insisting that the professional values of balanced, fact-based reporting be upheld in practice. “If you have become the voice of the people, you are a journalist,” it says.
The four other winners are Ko Swe Win from Myanmar, Angkhana Neelapaijit from Thailand, Raymundo Pujante Cayabyab from Philippines and Kim Jong-Ki from South Korea.
