TRP Congratulates Peter Pomerantsev on Winning the 2026 Ryszard Kapuściński Award
The Reckoning Project is proud to congratulate our Co-Founder and Executive Editor, Peter Pomerantsev, on being awarded the 2026 Ryszard Kapuściński Award for Literary Reportage in the International category for his book How to Win an Information War.
Widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious awards for nonfiction and literary reportage, the Kapuściński Award recognizes works that deepen our understanding of contemporary global challenges through exceptional reporting, research, and storytelling.
Peter is internationally recognized as one of the leading experts on propaganda, disinformation, and information warfare. For more than a decade, his work has examined how authoritarian regimes manipulate narratives, manufacture consent, and use information as a tool of power. Through his books, journalism, and analysis, he has helped shape global understanding of the information dimensions of modern conflict.
At The Reckoning Project, Peter's expertise has helped shape our approach to countering disinformation and preserving truthful narratives. By combining rigorous documentation, legal accountability, and strategic media engagement, TRP works to ensure that evidence of atrocity crimes is not obscured by propaganda, denial, or revisionism. Through partnerships with trusted media outlets and public-facing research, we seek to challenge false narratives, strengthen factual reporting, and preserve an accurate historical record of conflict.
