At Fredensborg Palace, Queen Margrethe has just—as the images show—presented the Ebbe Munck Prize 2026 to Masaana Egede, who is editor-in-chief of the Greenlandic media outlet Sermitsiaq.

Masaana Egede receives the prize for his journalistic work as editor-in-chief at Sermitsiaq, Greenland's only independent media house. The outlet kept the Greenlandic population informed in two different languages amid a geopolitical storm regarding Trump's ambitions to take over Greenland.

Awarded to special individuals

The prize is awarded to honor journalist, resistance fighter and court official Ebbe Munck, who died in 1974. The prize was established the year after his death.

It is awarded to people working in areas that were of particular interest to Ebbe Munck. Queen Margrethe is patron of the prize.
