Heidelberg Searching for New Journalists

Gabriel Gruener scholarship 2000 for committed reporters

Heidelberg - For the second time, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is supporting the Gabriel Gruener scholarship, which enables young journalists to realize and publish a report about any subject they wish. The scholarship is named after "Stern" reporter Gabriel Gruener. He and his colleagues, Stern photographer Volker Kraemer and translator Senol Alit, were tragically killed in June 1999 in Kosovo.

Teams consisting of a copywriter and a photographer can apply for the scholarship, which amounts to DM 10,000. Examples of past work (text and photographs) plus an exposé of the subject to be reported on must be submitted by October 15, 2000. In November this year, a panel of judges will decide which idea is to be turned into reality. The panel of judges comprises renowned personalities from the worlds of politics and journalism such as Hans Koschnick (former Bosnia correspondent for the Federal Government), Ingrid Kolb (Head of the Henri Nannen school), Gilles Peress (photographer with the Magnum picture agency, New York) and Alexander Smoltczyk (Editor of Spiegel Reporter). The winning team must have completed its report by 31 July 2001 at the latest.

Heidelberg's sponsorship of the Gabriel Gruener scholarship is a further continuation of its commitment to journalism. Last May, the solution provider for the graphic arts industry was the main sponsor of the "Press Freedom Award", which was awarded by the International Press Institute (I.P.I) as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations in Boston. Fifty heroes of press freedom were honored at the ceremony.
