Two new jury members for the Zurich Journalism Prize
As part of the expansion of the Zurich Journalism Prize (ZJP) to cover the whole of German-speaking Switzerland, the Board of Trustees has added two new members to the jury. Stefan von Bergen from the Berner Zeitung and Nina Jecker from the Basler Zeitung are new members of the jury.
Stefan von Bergen has been with the Bernese Newspaper today as background editor in the local team for the canton of Bern. In 2011, the 57-year-old received the Tamedia Promotion Award. 36-year-old Nina Jecker worked at 20 minutes in Bern and Zurich, before becoming a mother was editorial director and page maker of the Basel Newspaper and today works part-time as an editor at the BaZ. The Board of Trustees is pleased about this competent and experienced addition from the industry.
The ZJP jury, chaired by Hannes Britschgi, now consists of seven members. In 2018, it will not only have to evaluate journalistic text contributions from the canton of Zurich, but also from the whole of German-speaking Switzerland. In addition, it will also award a newcomer prize in collaboration with "Young Journalists Switzerland". The award ceremony will take place in Zurich on May 15, 2018.
