Award for CORRECTIV: When teamwork makes an impact
Three investigative teams from CORRECTIV have been recognised at the Journalists of the Year 2025 awards. The ceremony, organised by medium magazin, highlighted their work on major scandals, from youth soccer abuse to Russian disinformation. Their reporting also uncovered climate-related power structures and financial fraud.
One team exposed widespread abuse in youth soccer, documenting over 1,360 reported incidents. Their findings revealed systemic power misuse within the sport.
A second investigation focused on climate issues, uncovering hidden power structures and corporate greenwashing. The work shed light on how organisations manipulate environmental claims. Meanwhile, a third team analysed Russian disinformation during Germany’s election campaign. Their research tracked how false narratives spread across media and political channels. The awards also acknowledged CORRECTIV’s collaborative approach. Senior reporter Annika Joeres was named among the *Political Journalists of the Year* for her contributions. However, the top prize went to the Wirecard investigation team, a joint effort by multiple news outlets.
The 2025 awards highlight CORRECTIV’s role in uncovering major societal issues. Their investigations into abuse, disinformation, and environmental deception have brought critical facts to public attention. The recognition also underscores the impact of teamwork in modern journalism.
