Media Prize of the German Bundestag

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Media Prize of the German Bundestag in 1993 by the German Bundestag donated, and honors outstanding work to parliamentarism. The foundation took place together with the science award of the German Bundestag .

After the prize was awarded annually until 1996, from 1996 to 2006 it was only awarded every two to three years. The media prize has been awarded annually since 2006. Usually two prizes are awarded, one for print journalism and one for radio or television journalism. The prize is endowed with 10,000 euros.

The jury, which decides on the respective award recipients, is made up of journalists from the capital who are or were themselves involved in reporting on the Bundestag. Most recently, the seven-member jury u. a. Tissy Bruns ( Tagesspiegel ), Peter Frey ( ZDF ) and Joachim Wagner ( ARD ).

In August 2020, the non-party member of the Bundestag Marco Bülow criticized the participation of the world blogger Rainer Meyer ("Don Alphonso") in the jury in an open letter to the Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble . As a result, she has “a strong right-wing conservative list”, which could deter interested journalists from submitting their contributions.
