Prix Média

The application deadline for the Prix Média 2023 was 15 May 2023. The jury will now evaluate the entries submitted for the Prix Média up to and including August and select the entries to be awarded. The award ceremony for the Prix Média will take place on 3 November 2023 at the Science'Comm in Bern.

With this award, the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences recognize the important role of journalists in the digital age with algorithms, fake news and bots. Media professionals elaborate complex topics, bundle facts, question and report their findings for a broad audience. In the context of complex contemporary issues such as the Corona pandemic and climate change, media professionals with a sound scientific background play an increasingly important role for society.
