For over 20 years, Iren Meier has been giving conflicts a face and the victims a voice. Now she has been awarded the Zurich Radio Prize. Editor Christian Eggenberger receives this year's television prize. The current Middle East correspondent for Radio DRS, Iren Meier, has become the station's trademark, according to an SDA report. The 51-year-old, who has already been honored several times, is distinguished by her competent, credible and radio-friendly foreign reporting, writes the radio foundation that awards the prize.
Christian Eggenberger was honored for the multimedia productions Photosuisse and Designsuisse. With these series realized for SRG SSR Idée Suisse, the 53-year-old has implemented the national cultural mandate in an exemplary manner, the radio foundation explains its award.
The two prizes, worth CHF 25,000, have been awarded for 30 years by the Zurich Radio Foundation "for exceptional broadcasts and outstanding personalities in radio and television". The prizes will be presented in Zurich on November 20.
