Zeitenspiegel Reportagen is an agency of writers and photographers based in Weinstadt, near Stuttgart, Germany. The agency works for all of the major German magazines such as Stern , Focus , GEO , and Die Zeit , as well as international newspapers and magazines.
In 2008, Zeitenspiegel members received awards, including the Ernst Schneider Award of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce and a first-place finish in the European Parliament Prize for Journalism. The agency’s signature style is reportage, the process of reporting news. [1]
The Zeitenspiegel-Reportageschule Günter Dahl trains the next generation of feature journalists. The Zeitenspiegel members and renowned reporters and photographers share their skills and knowledge with young people in one-year courses. The Zeitenspiegel-Reportageschule Günter Dahl was voted the second-best Journalism Academy in Germany on journalismus.com. [2]
Since 1998, Zeitenspiegel has presented annual awards to members for reporting on socially relevant themes in memory of its honorary member Johanna "Hansel" Mieth (1909-1998) of Santa Rosa, California. [3] The Hansel Mieth Prize is presented to a reporter-photographer team for a completed feature in German, published or unpublished. The Hansel Mieth Prize is one of the most important honors in German journalism; text and photos are judged equally, in terms of the quality of journalism and social relevance. In 2022, the prize was 6,000 euros. [4] [5]
Up-and-coming journalists can also compete for the annual Gabriel Grüner Grant, which funds research on an exceptionally promising story. [6]
