The Axel-Springer-Preis is an annually awarded prize.[1] The Award is given to young journalists in the categories print, TV, radio, and online journalism due to the decisions of the Axel-Springer-Akademie.

History

The award ceremony will take place on his birthday, 2 May, in Berlin annually. Meanwhile, the modalities of the price has been changed and updated. In 1999 no award ceremony took place. Since 2001, an award is presented in four categories: Press, Radio, Television and the Internet.
