The Guardian has been honoured with the prestigious Freedom of Speech award by the International Association of Press Clubs. The Guardian was presented with the award for its groundbreaking stories on breaches of personal data and its steadfast commitment to reporting on global threats to the freedom of speech.

Chosen by more than 40 press clubs from over 20 countries, the Freedom of Speech award, which is now in its fifth year, recognises individuals or organisations for their “exceptional contributions to the fight for or in defence of free speech, or creating conditions and supporting efforts promoting freedom of speech”.
