Was lehrt uns der Blick nach Afrika für die nächste Pandemie? Und welche Rolle spielte die Neurochirurgie in der Psychiatrie? Diesen Fragen sind die beiden prämierten WissenschaftsjournalistInnenteams in ihren Bewerbungen für den Prix Média nachgegangen. Die multimediale Reportage und die Podcast-Folge überzeugten die Jury gleichermassen, so dass der Prix Média für Wissenschaftsjournalismus dieses Jahr zum zweiten Mal in Folge zwei Mal vergeben wurde. Den Prix Média Newcomer gewinnt ein Dokumentarfilm über Fischfossilien im Libanon.
