Announcement
NewswireJet carried a release on June 4, 2023 about the first Honest View media award. The underlying organizer announcement was distributed in December 2022 and said the awards ceremony took place in Moscow on December 14. Rossotrudnichestvo, a Russian government agency, established the program for foreign journalists, bloggers, and photojournalists.
According to the organizers' distributed release, the first competition received 118 applications from 28 countries and shortlisted 32 participants from 15 countries. The release named recipients in categories covering high-tech production, territorial development, social and humanitarian issues, cultural partnership with Russia, and promising industries. These are organizer-reported participation figures, not an independent assessment of the work or judging.
The historical announcement also contained the organizers' views about international media coverage of Russia. This archive records that the event and public claims were announced without adopting those views or treating the award's name as a quality certification. Readers who need the complete participant list and original wording can consult the linked syndicated release.
