Award Ceremony 2007

On December 08, 2007, the Journalistenpreis Bürgerschaftliches Engagement was awarded for the tenth time in Stuttgart.

This year, the first prize endowed with 5,000 euros goes to Christian Sywottek for the article "Aus dem Nichts“ (From Nowhere), which was published in the magazine brand eins. Jan-Geert Wolff from Rhein Main Presse receives the second prize and 3,000 euros for "Der Musikmann kommt!“ (The Musicman Cometh). 2,000 and the third prize go to Bernd Volland from the magazine stern for "Am Anfang stand der Traum“ (In the Beginning, there was the Dream).
Markus Wanzeck receives the Marion-Dönhoff-Förderpreis (3,000 euros) for "Profit macht nur der Kiez“ (Only the District Profits) which was published in taz. The two local affairs editors Michael Ohnewald and Thomas Faltin at Stuttgarter Zeitung are jointly awarded the series prize (5,000) for their article series "Die Engagierten“ (The Committed). The total prize money awarded is 18,000 euros.

Ten years of experience with this journalist prize for civic commitment and the increasing importance of this topic have persuaded Robert Bosch Stiftung to extend the prize to the field of radio, TV and online media journalism from 2008 onwards.
