WIRED Mexico Wins National Science Journalism Award

WIRED Mexico has won Mexico's National Science Journalism Award in the Video and Multimedia category for the report "The Sea Won't Wait: Children and Teens in Ensenada Join the Environmental Movement." The piece was produced by Geraldine Castro, Kevin Zamora, Manuel de León and Rodrigo del Río, and published in May on the WIRED Mexico website.

The story was selected as the winner from six finalists. The award recognises journalistic work that addresses science, public health, the environment and climate change, biodiversity and sustainability, among other subjects.

"This piece by Geraldine Castro showcases the kind of stories that WIRED Mexico offers its audience: well-researched and well-edited content that highlights the human impact on improving the planet and seeks to promote change. We are very happy and proud of this recognition, which motivates us to continue publishing more and better reports," said Mael Vallejo, Head of Editorial Content at WIRED Mexico.

The Mexican Network of Science Journalists organises the competition to recognise "outstanding journalistic work that contributes to strengthening the public's understanding of science, technology, health, the environment, and innovation. This award seeks to promote ethical, rigorous, critical, and accessible science journalism that is committed to the public interest and grounded in verifiable evidence."
