Journalist Prize of the FDGB
The FDGB Journalist Prize was awarded by the Free German Trade Union Federation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), which was founded in 1972 and first awarded in the form of a medal on June 15, 1973. The award, which incidentally was endowed with 5000 marks, was only given to journalists for their excellent work.
