Times of Israel correspondent Canaan Lidor and Channel 12 reporter Elad Simchayoff are announced as this year’s winners of B’nai B’rith’s annual journalism award for coverage of the Jewish Diaspora.
Lidor, The Times of Israel’s religion and Diaspora correspondent, receives the B’nai B’rith World Center-Jerusalem’s Award for Journalism Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage for 2024 in the written media category, B’nai B’rith writes in a statement Wednesday.
Simchayoff, European correspondent for Channel 12 News, is recognized in the broadcast media category.
Lidor, who returned to his native Haifa in 2021 from the Netherlands after covering Europe and its Jews for over a decade, receives the award for his 2023 coverage in The Times of Israel of the Netherlands, Tunisia, the US and beyond, B’nai B’rith writes.
Simchayoff, who lives in London, is honored for his coverage on the rise of antisemitism in Europe following October 7 and for his “One a Day” podcast series, the Jewish group’s statement says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
