Viren, Volt und Daten — Prix Média und Prix Média Newcomer 2021

Wie kommen wir aus der Corona-Pandemie heraus? Und wie stellen wir auch künftig die Stabilität des Stromnetzes sicher? Zwei Fragen, die von hoher gesellschaftlicher Relevanz sind und von den Wissenschaftsjournalisten Martin Amrein und Arian Bastani umfassend beleuchtet und verständlich dargelegt wurden. Beide überzeugten mit ihren jeweiligen Beiträgen in der «NZZ am Sonntag» respektive der «Republik» die Jury gleichermassen, so dass der Prix Média für Wissenschaftsjournalismus dieses Jahr zwei Mal vergeben wurde. Den Prix Média Newcomer gewinnt Simone Pengue für seinen Dokumentarfilm über biomedizinische Forschungsdaten.
