The winner of the 11th Media Prize of the Swiss Bar Association (SAV) is Dominique Strebel, who writes for the Beobachter. According to SDA, he was honored for an article about three young women who were committed to the Hindelbank penal institution 40 years ago without a legal verdict. Strebel gave the women, then aged 16, 17 and 19, a voice some 40 years later. "His articles question the functioning of the law," said the jury, headed by Franz Steinegger, praising the journalistic achievement of the Beobachter editor. Strebel was awarded 6,000 Swiss francs and a sculpture by Basel artist René Küng.
The SAV also awarded prizes to Rundschau editor Elvira Stadelmann for her article "Die Parkhausmörderin" and radio editors Regula Zehnder and Christian Schmid for the program "100 Jahre ZGB". These secondary prizes are endowed with CHF 2,000 each.
