"ECO" contribution awarded

According to the jury, what speaks in favor of the contribution is that the way blockchain works and the consequences of using this new technology are explained in a clear and comprehensible way. Several interview partners with different backgrounds provide information about the possibilities of the technology and its consequences. The article also reveals how twelve major international banks are already adapting to the new technology. The jury found the graphic realization to be excellent. The article also shows in which additional industries and sectors the technology could be used: from car leasing to the commercial register.

Jean François Tanda, editor of "ECO" and business editorial department TV: "I am very pleased that the contribution on blockchain has now been awarded a second time - an award also for the outstanding colleagues here in the house, from 'ECO' editorial staff to camera and graphics to editing. Without such outstanding participants, the contribution would never have been made." In May 2016, the feature received the 2016 Media Award for Financial Journalists from Private magazine in Switzerland. The PSD Journalist Award was presented to the winners by the Association of PSD Banks e.V. in Bonn on Thursday, November 17, 2016. This year's motto is "Transformation of the banking business". A total of six outstanding journalistic works were awarded, which deal with the outlined topic or highlight an individual aspect corresponding to the motto. (SRF)
