2 days ago

Ingo Zamperoni, a RIAS alumni and co-anchor of German TV network's flagship Tagesthemen news broadcast, talks about his award-winning story about the 2020 US election campaign and the sharp political divisions that have opened up in the United States between friends, family and just about everyone else. Zamperoni's personalized story about how political differences caused tensions is his own American family are illuminating and as our Zoom audience learned made for a risky story for German tastes that went down so well that there are plans for a sequel in 2022. ...

RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION

4 weeks ago

An independent panel of American and German journalists issued the following commendations for the six RIAS Berlin Commission 2021 prizewinners.The jury for the 29th annual prize was made up of three Americans and three Germans and a total of 10,000 EUR prize money will be presented to the winners at a gala ceremony expected to be held in November. The jury includes: Co-chair Michael Gargiulo (WNBC TV, New York), Co-chair Anja Heyde (ZDF-MDR, Berlin) as well as Helge Fuhst (ARD, Hamburg), Yami Virgin (Fox 29, San Antonio, Texas), Matt Karnitschnig (Politico, Berlin) and Richard Meng (formerly Frankfurter Rundschau).The RIAS Media Prize is intended to help strengthen the diversity of transatlantic dialogue and to deepen interest in German-American relations. There will be a total 10,000 EUR in prize money awarded to the six winners, including a new 5,000 EUR grand prize for the single most outstanding entry broadcast in 2020.Here is what the jury had to say:Ingo Zamperoni, Birgit Wärnke – NDR: “Trump, meine amerikansiche Familie und ich”“Trump, My American Family and Me" by Ingo Zamperoni and Birgit Wärnke is in an outstanding film about an American family and at the same time a film about American society. It shows on a meta-level the political divisions of the country through a private lens that is full of empathy. Zamperoni took a considerable risk for broadcasting such a personal glimpse of his family. The result is a film that gives viewers valuable insights into the life and thinking of Americans in a form rarely seen in Germany. The film does not make judgments – instead it simply documents the situation. And it thus shows us why so many Americans cast their ballots for Donald Trump as president. The narrative shows the entire ambivalence between the great love for a great country and the palpable aversion to some of the social and political developments in the USA.RIAS Radio Award:Aylin Dogan, Gregor Schmalzried – Bayern 2 (BR): "Die Andere Cancel Culture – von den unbekannten Opfer der Sozialen Medien““Cancel Culture” is a corrosive phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic. In their thought-provoking report for Bayern 2, Aylin Dogan and Gregor Schmalzried delve into this emotional issue with nuance, exploring the tensions and misunderstandings it creates. They report on the tremendous power of “Cancel Culture“ in social media and how it sometimes hits the wrong target – from ordinary people to celebrities who are often powerless to defend themselves.RIAS Digital Video Award:Janek Speight – Deutsche Welle: “Why US sports are more socialist than European football”Janek Speight has succeeded in creating an unusual, attention-grabbing look at the routines of professional sports on both sides of the Atlantic. A cheeky inversion of clichés, a social media-friendly and brilliant comparison of the incomparable. He discovers almost "socialist" aspects in American sports – with its revenue sharing, salary caps and draft system - and he contrasts those with a rather brutal selfishness of big money in Europe. His YouTube contribution for Deutsche Welle combines tongue-in-cheek levity with serious analysis. A triumphant piece of transatlantic journalism.RIAS Fellow Award Radio:Ryan Delaney – St. Louis Public Radio, NPR: “How Germany Reopened Schools During a Pandemic”2020 was the year everything changed for millions of schoolchildren. Most of the schools in the United States were closed, many students were at home for remote learning. Germany, however, reopened its schools during the crisis. How? Ryan Delaney from St. Louis Public Radio went in search of and found the answers to this question in a series of reports in October/November 2020 through Pulitzer Center and Education Writers Association. He spoke with a kindergarten teacher in Cologne, a father in Berlin, a high school student in Bonn and many others. He took the listeners into the classrooms to understand the actual impact of the decisions made regarding education and of the health of a generation.pulitzercenter.org/projects/how-germany-reopened-its-schools-during-pandemicRIAS Next Generation Award Award:Anna Ellmann, Maximilian Osenstätter – BR (Bayerischer Rundfunk): "News WG – Series of Instagram Stories on Political Issues”News not from a newspaper or a TV screen but from "Instagram”? That is the goal of the "Die News-WG" which was developed by young journalists at Bayerische Rundfunk (BR). The News-WG Team reports on the news in ways that young people understand and relate to... and they deliver the news to where young people are active…on Instagram. They tackle questions like ‘Things politicians would never say’ or ‘What kind of pork is that in your sandwich?’ Special Jury Prize Radio:Michael Groth – Deutschlandradio Kultur: “Songs of Love and Protest – Wiederkehr des politischen Liedes in den USA“Michael Groth has produced a series of outstanding, in-depth feature stories on the rich history of music in the United States and its influence on both politics in the United States and on music in Germany for Deutschlandfunk Kultur over the last 15 years. From features on Johnny Cash, Muddy Waters, Corky Siegel, Hank Williams, various country music and Mississippi Delta artists to the Chicago Blues and music from Austin and Nashville, Groth is a master of his craft. For his determination as perennial entrant, Groth receives special jury recognition for his contributions.m.youtube.com/watch?v=jyOy7GgvZeM&feature=emb_title ... Read MoreRead Less
