The first award was given by the Issara Amantakul Foundation, an organization that promotes freedom of mass media in Thailand, and another award from Amnesty International Thailand for the presentation on labor oppression of Thai berry pickers who traveled to Finland and did not receive fair wages and in some cases became human trafficking.
