About the Contest
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) are conducting a WHO Road Safety reporting contest to raise consciousness and spur dialogue around critical – but underreported – highway safety issues with a Vision Zero/Safe System Approach.
Underreported issues include road design and quality, unsafe and polluting used automobiles, cost and extent of crash-related accidents, air pollution resulting from exhaust emissions, protected public transport urban cycling. Multimedia stories, podcasts, photo reportage, cross-border tales, and series of stories are welcome.
Collaboration inside newsrooms or throughout borders, use of social media and audience suggestions, post-story engagement with policy- and decision-makers, and different methods of maximizing the impact of the reporting are highly encouraged.
