A jury of experts chaired by Gertraud Auer Borea d'Olmo, Secretary General of the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue and close confidant of Ari Rath, unanimously nominated Thomas Seifert for this year's \u201eAri Rath Prize for Critical Journalism\u201c. The \u201eAri Rath Prize of Honour\u201c was unanimously awarded to Gideon Levy.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Thomas Seifert<\/strong><\/em> is known to many readers as a foreign policy expert and economics specialist. The current deputy editor-in-chief of the Wiener Zeitung previously travelled to numerous crisis regions of the world as a reporter for News, but also for Welt am Sonntag and the Sunday Telegraph and has written impressive reports: whether from the Ebola ward of the hospital in Gulu, Uganda, in 2000, or from Sierra Leone about child soldiers or the war in Chechnya. He reported courageously and with commitment from Afghanistan and in 2003 from the Iraq war in the midst of the US bombardment.<br \/>\nIn addition to the overall assessment of the crisis situation, Seifert always places the fate of the people affected at the centre of his articles, reports and commentaries. It should also be added that he always emphasises the human perspective of the individuals plagued by wars, flight, displacement and natural disasters, thus giving a voice to the persecuted in this world.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gideon Levy<\/strong><\/em> is a columnist for Haaretz and a member of the newspaper's editorial board. Levy joined Haaretz in 1982 and was deputy editor of the newspaper for four years. He is the author of the weekly Twilight Zone feature, which covers the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the past 25 years, and writes political editorials for the paper.Levy received the Euro-Med Journalism Prize in 2008 and the Leipzig Freedom Prize in 2001; the Israeli Union of Journalists Prize in 1997; and the Association of Human Rights in Israel Prize for 1996; in 2016, together with Bethlehem Lutheran pastor Mitri Raheb, the Olof Palme Prize for \u201ehis struggle against occupation and violence\u201c. His new book \u201eThe Punishment of Gaza\u201c has just been published by Verso Publishing House in London and New York.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Isabel Frey<\/strong><\/em> \/\/ Revolutionary Yiddish Music \/\/ Vienna<\/p>\n<p>Members of the jury:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gertraud Borea d'Olmo<\/strong><\/em>, Secretary General of the Bruno Kreisky Forum<br \/>\n<em><strong>Fritz Hausjell<\/strong><\/em>, Media historian, Institute for Journalism Studies, University of Vienna<br \/>\n<em><strong>Rubina M\u00f6hrin<\/strong><\/em>g, President Reporters Without Borders<br \/>\n<em><strong>Oliver Rathkolb<\/strong><\/em>, Historian, Institute for Contemporary History, University of Vienna<\/p>\n<p>Previous award winners:<\/p>\n<p>2018<br \/>\n<strong>Alexandra F\u00f6derl-Schmid<\/strong>, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung since July 2020.
