Honor due to Karl Lüönd
The Zurich Press Association awarded the 2007 Zurich Journalism Prize to journalist and columnist Karl Lüönd. It honored him for his life's work.
Werbewoche columnist Karl Lüönd has been awarded the 2007 Zurich Journalism Prize in recognition of his entire body of work as a Zurich journalist and publicist. As the news agency SDA quotes the laudator Roger Cahn in a press release, Lüönd has long been present in the Swiss media landscape as an outstanding representative of attractive tabloid journalism. The jury praised his contentious nature, but also his resistance to fashions and trends, ideologies and commerce. Charlotte Jacquemart and Daniel Hug received another prize for their series of articles in the NZZ am Sonntag on the merger of Swissfirst and Bellevue Bank. The Zurich Press Association also honored Christian Schmidt, Bruno Ziauddin, Marcel Hänggi and Gabrielle Kleinert.
