Jesuit Father Cedric Prakash has won this year’s “Louis Careno Award” for excellence in journalism.
The Indian Catholic Press Association, the national body of Catholic print media persons, on November 8 selected Father Prakash for the annual award in recognition of his bold writings against communalism and fundamentalism gaining ground globally.
The association will confer the award on the 70-year-old Ahmedabad-based Jesuit on Decem-ber 1 during its 26th National Convention of Christian Journalists.
Father Prakash’s “incisive, thought-provoking writings on various subjects have broken new grounds. His razor-sharp analysis of sociocultural and political issues, especially relating to communalism and fundamentalism, has led to soul-searching debates in the civil society and the secular world,” says a press release signed by the association president Ignatius Gonsalves and secretary Capuchin Father Suresh Mathew.
