Georg von Holtzbrinck Prize for Science Journalism
The Georg von Holtzbrinck Prize for Science Journalism was instituted by the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group in 1995 to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Scientific American, one of the oldest science journals in the world. The prize is awarded annually and pays tribute to outstanding articles in the field of science journalism in Germany. The award recognises two categories – print and electronic media – and one prize is given to each category. Each prize is a cash prize to the value of € 5,000.
The laureates 2011 are Tim Schröder (print media) and Dr. Jan Lublinski (electronic media), both freelance journalists.
