Free Media Awards (formerly: Gerd Bucerius Prize for Free Press in Eastern Europe, German: Gerd Bucerius-Förderpreis Freie Presse Osteuropas) is the press prizes awarded by the two foundations The Fritt Ord Foundation and the ZEIT-Stiftung.
History and prize consideration
The prize was launched in 2000 by the ZEIT Foundation and was called the Gerd Bucerius Press Prizes for Eastern Europe (German: Gerd Bucerius-Förderpreis Freie Presse Osteuropas). The prize is named after the German politician and journalist Gerd Bucerius.[1] In 2004, after the ZEIT Foundation began cooperation with the organisation Freedom of Expression Foundation (Fritt Ord), the prize was presented jointly.[2]
The prize is awarded to journalists and media in Eastern Europe, who are distinguished by their quality, professionalism and civil courage. Organisations consider nominations after consultation with external experts.[3] Each year, an independent jury selects the winners based on these nominations. Three to five awards are awarded per year.[4]
