As a member of the Independent Media Association, Phoenix Media Co-operative won “International Reporting of the Year” at the 2022 Independent Media Awards.
Here’s a look back at some of the best international reporting during our first year of existence.
5 prominent stories
Gaza
In 2021, Israel once again attacked Gaza. And we sought to amplify voices opposing the ongoing aggression of the Israeli regime.
Colombia
People in Colombia, meanwhile, rose up against injustice and inequality. But state forces met mass protests with brutal repression. We spoke to people on the ground to help spread their message of resistance.
Asia
We also looked at how people have used culture to speak out against unjust social and political orders in Asia.
The Western arms trade
Opposing the arms trade – a business of mass destruction – is very close to our hearts.
Ukraine
After Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, we spoke to civilians in affected countries to share their thoughts.
