Time archivist Ingrid Ei\u00dfele, together with the Stern<\/em>-Editor Catrin Boldebuck achieved second place at the Richard von Weizs\u00e4cker Journalism Award ceremony. Both received the award last Tuesday evening at the Berlin representative office of the Bertelsmann Foundation for their debate on the topic of euthanasia with Member of Parliament Lars Castellucci, patient Bettina Steckmann, and palliative care physician Matthias Th\u00f6ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prize is awarded by the Unionhilfswerk Foundation and honors outstanding works on the topics of dying, death, and grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year's prize was themed \u201eAssisted Suicide - The Fundamental Right to a Self-Determined Death.\u201c With contributions from print, radio, television, and online media, journalists addressed the legal and ethical challenges of assisted suicide. The jury chairman, Bishop Dr. Christian St\u00e4blein, emphasized the quality of the submitted works: \u201eThis year's journalistic contributions are characterized by depth and empathy. They help us to look at death and dying with different eyes \u2013 as something that is inextricably linked to life and that we should approach with dignity. The subject of assisted suicide sheds broad light on a controversial topic and makes it public \u2013 in the best sense before God and the world.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ei\u00dfele and Boldebuck received the award for their Interview<\/a> \u201eThe illness doesn't decide when it's over, I do.\u201c In the debate, a cancer patient and a professional politician discuss medically assisted suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first rank was taken by Tina Soliman (\u201eAssisted Suicide: Harald Meyer Fights for His Death\u201c, ARD\/NDR<\/em>) in. Third place went to Marius Elfering (\u201eSo I'll say goodbye today!\u201c, Deutschlandfunk Kultur<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
