Goethe Prize for journalism in science and university politics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Goethe Media Prize for university and science policy journalism (until 2010 "Goethe Prize for science and university policy journalism") of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, announced for the first time in April 2008 and awarded in Frankfurt am Main at the end of January 2009 and the FAZIT Foundation honors outstanding contributions in the field of university and science policy journalism. The prize, awarded by an independent jury, is intended to encourage journalists working in this field to go beyond daily reporting to look for in-depth analysis and shed light on the background. The award also recognizes understandable and stylistically outstanding contributions that convey complex developments in the field of science and university policy to a broad audience and thus promote well-founded judgment. It was brought into being by the press spokesman of the Goethe University Frankfurt, Olaf Kaltenborn .

Because the name is similar to the "Goethe Prize" of the city of Frankfurt, the title for the competition rounds from 2010 onwards has been changed to the Goethe Media Prize for journalism in university and science policy .

German-speaking print, radio and online journalists can apply for the award every two years. Three prizes are awarded:

  1. Price: 4000 euros
  2. Price: 1800 euros
  3. Price: 1000 euros
