In Era of Fake News Attacks, Journalists Could Win Nobel Prize

The Norwegian Nobel Committee may choose to award this year’s peace prize to journalists fighting against misinformation.

The top pick for the 2020 prize is the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Peace Research Institute Oslo -- an independent academic institution that ranks possible winners -- said on Monday. Reporters Without Borders was also mentioned as a contender, as were individual outlets such as Russia’s Novaya Gazeta, PRIO’s director Henrik Urdal told reporters.
