The Serena Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity in Journalism was established in 2019 to honor Serena Shim, an American journalist who died in a car crash in 2014.[1] It honors journalists "who continue to tell challenging truths in difficult times".[1]
Shim had worked for the Iranian national news outlet PressTV. Funded by the Association for Investment in Popular Action Committees and private donations, the Serena Shim Award has come under question for its independence from the former Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria[2] and pro-Kremlin[3] propaganda by supporting bloggers on the left and right of the political media landscape.[4]
