The organization that has instituted awards for the best stories for the coverage of conflict in Indian print media is

(A) PII-ICRC

(B) PTI

(C) PIB

(D) UNI

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:

The PII-ICRC (Press Institute of India and International Committee of the Red Cross) presents awards for outstanding coverage of conflict and humanitarian crises in Indian print media. These awards recognize journalists who highlight the impact of war, violence, and disasters on civilians.

Founded to promote ethical journalism, this initiative encourages responsible reporting on sensitive issues. The award-winning stories often focus on human rights violations, displacement, and post-conflict recovery. Reporters play a crucial role in shaping public understanding and influencing policy changes.

Now, let’s examine the incorrect options. PTI (Press Trust of India) is a leading news agency but does not organize this award. PIB (Press Information Bureau) serves as the Indian government’s communication wing, focusing on official announcements. UNI (United News of India) is another news agency, but it does not conduct awards for conflict reporting.

In summary, PII-ICRC recognizes the best conflict-related stories in Indian print media. It promotes responsible journalism and humanitarian reporting.
