Sonntagszeitung: Award for Investigative Journalism Presented
To strengthen investigative journalism in Switzerland, the Sonntagszeitung, in collaboration with the Swiss School of Journalism (Maz), has launched a new award to promote investigative journalism.
Each year, one talented young journalist is given the opportunity to learn the art of investigative journalism and put it into practice at the new investigative desk run by Sonntagszeitung and Le Matin Dimanche in Bern. The 2012 winner is Julian Schmidli. The 26-year-old has drawn attention to himself with outstanding investigative work, as the Sonntagszeitung notes in a press release. This rising talent studied media studies in Basel and recently completed the Master of Arts in Journalism offered by the Maz in cooperation with the Hamburg Media School.
