German Media Prize Depression Aid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Media Prize for Depression Aid has been awarded by the German Depression Aid Foundation since 2013 . It is given to journalists who deal in an outstanding manner with the disease depression . Every two years a jury made up of journalists, doctors and company representatives as well as those affected nominates the winners from all entries. Editors and (freelance) authors - individually or in teams - whose contribution has appeared in German-speaking public media can apply for the award.

The criteria for selection include whether the reporting is competent and whether it contributes to destigmatizing depression. The jury therefore examines the applications from the point of view of the factually correct presentation, journalistic competence and compliance with media guidelines in the event of a suicide report. The last criterion in particular distinguishes the German Media Prize Depression Aid from other media prizes .

The award is endowed with 5,000 euros and will be presented at the German Patient Congress moderated by Harald Schmidt , jury chairman and patron of the foundation.
