RIAS Media Prize Winners -- Best Digital Video 2020 to NDR in GermanyDavid Diwiak and Han Park of youth-oriented NDR online-channel STRG_F won a RIAS Media Prize award in 2020 for the best Digital Video for their story that explored the growing market for and appeal of meat replacements, both natural and man-made.From its very first moments, the video report Fleischersatz: Veggie vs. Labor? captivated the independent jury with its energy and attitude.Eating their way through many mouthfuls in the process, the team manages to shed light on the science, business, and ethics of cultured meat, as well as the differing views in Germany and the US when it comes to genetically modified foods. What starts as a humorous taste test quickly evolves into a well-thought out exploration of the current meat alternative offerings, and those soon to come via technological innovations. Interviews, animation, a deep dive into the California fake meat start-up scene, and other research are all used to excellent effect, leaving the jury hungry for more from this clever duo of young journalists.The RIAS Media Prize ceremony will be held in Berlin in early June for the first time since in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the annual awards ceremony in 2020 and 2021. An independent jury of journalists continued to pick winners in the television, radio and digital categories for German-American exchange program. A total of 17 winners from all three years 2020, 2021 and 2022 will be honored at the ceremony.www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KmS5xJrlAI ... Read MoreRead Less

May 20, 2022RIAS Fellow Award in 2020 -- to Christopher Conover of Arizona Public RadioListen here for the full story from Christopher Conover. radio.azpm.org/p/radio-buzz/2019/12/5/162531-german-perspectives-on-immigration/At a time of growing anxiety on both sides of the Atlantic over the short- and long-term implications of mass migration, RIAS fellow Christopher Conover of Southern Arizona public radio explored Germany’s recent experience with the refugee influx of 2015 and what lessons America can take from it.In a series of in-depth interviews with people on the front lines – the architect of Europe’s “refugee deal” with Turkey, a Syrian who nearly died trying to cross the Mediterranean on his way to Germany, and a German journalist who covered the crisis – Conover’s dispatch offered a window into the complexities, challenges and contradictions of Europe’s approach to migration. By letting those closest to the German crisis offer a nuanced picture of their views and experiences, the work exemplifies the RIAS Commission’s founding principle to promote German-American understanding.The RIAS Media Prize ceremony will be held in Berlin in early June for the first time since in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the annual awards ceremony in 2020 and 2021.
