Le prix APO Group African Women in Media Award 2020 (Prix APO Group de la Journaliste Africaine) fait partie de l’engagement d’APO Group à soutenir le développement du journalisme sur le continent.

Le prix est ouvert aux femmes journalistes africaines dont les reportages ont été diffusées ou publiées entre le 1er janvier et le 31 octobre 2020.
