M100 Board Member Stephan-Andreas Casdorff on Navalny as this year’s M100 Awardee

M100 Board Member Stephan-Andreas Casdorff, Publisher of Der Tagesspiegel on this year’s M100 Awardee:

”Alexei Navalny, this year’s award winner – who else? After all, everything is on the line: defending freedom of expression, democratic values in general, which include an independent opposition, fair judicial procedures and the right to exercise basic human rights. Yes indeed, and Alexei Navalny, because he has become a symbol: for almost 400 political prisoners in Russia, for murdered politicians and journalists and for the struggle against increasing autocracy in Europe.”

M100 particiant Markus Beckedahl on this year’s M100 topic

M100 particiant Markus Beckedahl, founder and editor-in-Chief of netzpolitik.org, on this year’s topic:

„The coronavirus pandemic has dragged science journalism out from the dusty corners of editorial offices and into the light of the sun – and quite rightly so. But now it has to remain there. Current and future challenges require collaboration between science and journalism to be strengthened, particularly in these post-factual times.“
