Egon Erwin Kisch Prize
The Egon Erwin Kisch Prize (German: Egon-Erwin-Kisch-Preis) was a literary prize awarded in Germany. It was named after the author and journalist Egon Erwin Kisch. The prize was started in 1977 by Henri Nannen, founder of the magazine "Stern", and is intended to promote journalistic quality in the German press, especially in the print media. It was one of the most prestigious journalism awards in Germany. Starting in 2005, the prize was incorporated in the documentary
communism. Nonetheless, when "Stern" magazine founded a prestigious award for German journalism in 1977, it was named the Egon Erwin Kisch Prize in his honour.
Kisch's work as a writer and communist journalist inspired Australian left wing intellectuals and writers such as Katharine Susannah Prichard, E. J. Brady, Vance and Nettie Palmer and Louis Esson. This group formed the nucleus of what later became the Writers League, drawing on the example of Egon Kisch’s own journalistic dedication to reportage.
