Peter R. Weitz Award
The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) awards the Peter R. Weitz prize to acknowledge excellence and originality in reporting on European or transatlantic affairs in the American media. The prize was established in 1999 in memory of Peter R. Weitz, former GMF director of programs, who took a keen interest in promoting coverage of European topics by American journalists. The program’s goal is to encourage U.S. coverage of European or transatlantic issues and increase American awareness of those issues.
The prize, worth $10,000, is open to all journalists covering European issues for American newspapers, magazines, and online media, whether they are correspondents based in Europe or cover Europe from the United States.
The winner is selected each spring by a jury of senior American and European journalists based on work published either in print or online by American news media during the previous calendar year.
