Grimme Prize: Luke Mockridge and Jan Böhmermann are award winners
The 16 winners of the Grimme Award 2019 have been announced. One of the most well-known award winners is an old acquaintance of the award: Jan Böhmermann (38, "Neo Magazine Royale: Live in Concert"). For example, he has already won one of the prizes for his contributions "Varoufake" and "Verafake", most recently in 2018 for "Eggs made of steel - Max Giesinger and German industrial music". This year he receives the prestigious award for his critical piece "Let yourself be monitored - The PRISM IS A DANCER Show", in which the handling of personal data in the internet was discussed satirically.
Luke Mockridge (29) is also one of this year's winners. The comedian and author provided the idea for the show "CATCH! The Great Sat.1 Catch Friday". Furthermore, the jury also selected among others the series "Bad Banks" (ZDF / Arte) and "Beat" (Amazon Prime Video). In total, 13 of the 16 prizes awarded went to the public sector.
