The Journalism Awards committee has announced the nominees for their annual awards, recognizing notable achievements in journalism over the past year. Among the nominees are three prominent journalists from Vísir: Jakob Bjarnar, Kjartan, and Sunna. This highlights the strong contributions of these individuals to Icelandic journalism, showcasing their dedication to reporting and storytelling.

The prestigious awards are given in four different categories, with three nominees selected for each category. The award ceremony will be held at Hafnarhús in Reykjavík on March 13, 2026, at 18:00. Each nominee's work is evaluated based on excellence in the field, and the recognition they receive is significant for their professional careers and the broader journalism community in Iceland.

This year's nominees also include Ingibjörg Dögg Kjartansdóttir, who is recognized for her insightful interview with Halla Tómasdóttir, the President of Iceland. Halla shares her painful childhood experiences and the impact of sexual violence, providing readers with a deeper understanding of her life and role. This focus on personal stories in journalism not only enlightens the public but also addresses critical social issues, reinforcing the importance of this medium in fostering awareness and conversation.
