Marco Luchetta, Alessandro Ota, Dario D'Angelo and Miran Hrovatin were all killed while carrying out their work in 1994 in Mostar and Mogadishu. Since 2004 in their hometown Trieste, there has been an annual award ceremony in the honour of the four journalists. It is a ceremony that is dedicated to reporters and journalists who, through their work, have best been able to raise awareness of the shared values that inspired the work of Marco, Sasha, Dario and Miran.
It is an award for analytical, comprehensive and investigative journalism: the type of journalism that is not afraid to get involved, in the name of humane solidarity, in the countless tragedies involving defenceless people that take place all around the world.
Reporting of this kind is social message and news at one and the same time. It promotes the values of peace, solidarity, brotherhood, harmonious co-existence and the respect for civil rights, values that represent a way out of tragedies past and present.
