The 2007 Suva Media Prize goes to journalist Catherine Riva for her articles on the risks to which small children are exposed due to chlorine in indoor swimming pools. Catherine Riva published her research in several articles in the newspaper Le Matin dimanche, as Suva announced on Thursday. Switzerland does not yet have any limit values for air quality in indoor swimming pools. With her articles, Riva triggered a discussion about this, which led to an interpellation in the National Council, among other things.
In addition, the journalist Françoise Ducret receives a recognition award for a report on the subject of burnout on French-speaking Swiss television. Sylviane Pittet also receives a recognition award for a text in the magazine Femina on the side effects that young binge drinkers have to reckon with.
The Suva Media Prize, endowed with CHF 7000, has been awarded since 1994. It is reserved for French-language work relating to the prevention of accidents and health problems.
