The Serena Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity in Journalism purports to honor journalists "who continue to tell challenging truths in difficult times".[1]

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]
