The European Parliament’s “Daphne Caruana Galizia” journalism award this year was awarded to the investigation into the disappearance of 51,433 unaccompanied migrant children after their arrival in European countries between 2021 and 2023. The investigation was selected from 318 entries and 13 finalists.
Journalists collected data from 31 European countries, including Austria, Germany, and Italy, and found that the number of missing children could be even higher due to gaps in data recording and collection in some countries.
It is awarded in honor of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in 2017 during her investigation into government corruption.
The “Lost In Europe” investigation, which spanned several months, involved 12 media outlets from seven countries: Greece (Efimerida ton Syntakton), Germany (RBB, Tagesschau), Italy (ANSA, Domani), the Netherlands (Small Stream Media, NRC), Belgium (De Standaard, Knack, VRT), Ireland (The Journal), and the UK/USA (CNN).
The “Daphne Caruana Galizia” journalism award was established in 2019 in honor of the Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in a car bomb attack in 2017 while investigating government corruption.
This is the second consecutive year that a team involving a Greek media outlet has been recognized with the award, following last year’s recognition of the investigation into the Pylos shipwreck by the Greek outlet Solomon, in collaboration with Forensis (Germany), StrgF/ARD (Germany), and The Guardian (UK).
