The media's dedicated efforts to highlight the problems related to

Excellence Award for contributions in 2008.

In a press release issued by the UNICEF office in Yemen on August 12,
UNICEF motivates all journalists, children and teenagers in the Arab
World to participate in the Arab Media Humanitarian Forum. The award was
announced by the UNICEF Regional Office for Middle East and North Africa

The media prize will be awarded to the Arab media for its excellence in

children in the Middle East and North Africa. Works submitted tackle
national or regional issues and for 2008, the Forum agreed on the topic
to be focused on adolescents (ages 10 to 19).
