Thoroughbred local journalist from the Lower Austria Regional Media House receives a major award.
St. Pölten (OTS) – “Every year again…” the specialist magazine “Österreichs Journalist:in” honors the best of the best.
Roland Mayr, editor of the district newspaper edition Scheibbs and meinbezirk.at/scheibbs, was honored by an expert jury for his extraordinary work in the “Local Heroes 2023” section. The 47-year-old, who has been working at RegionalMedien Niederösterreich for ten years, has once again shown through his commitment and commitment how important local journalism is and what can be achieved with good editorial staff. Through fair, constructive but also critical journalism.
In his reporting, for example, Mayr examined the building of a grocer from all perspectives, prepared chronicles with sensitivity, paid attention to the balance of the articles and let the readers have their say. For example, when it came to schnitzel prices or how the Scheibbsers fought against inflation. Speaking of which, it was he who allowed himself to be buried in the snow as an “avalanche victim”. And Roland Mayr also presented the beauties in the Scheibbs district as part of the “Alpine pastures instead of palm trees” series. In preparation for 2024 and the upcoming EU elections, the Lower Austrian “Local Hero 2023” finally looked at the strangest decisions.
“I am proud and pleased that the expert jury recognized Roland Mayr’s commitment. He is passionate about local journalism and has deep roots in the region
“, says Ewald Schnell, managing director of RegionalMedien Lower Austria.
„As a thoroughbred journalist, he has more than earned this title
“, says Karin Zeiler, editor-in-chief of RegionalMedien Niederösterreich, with Roland Mayr.
By the way: It was about time that the regional media of Lower Austria were at the forefront again. In 2015, today’s editor-in-chief Zeiler brought the title of “Local Journalist of the Year” to Lower Austria.
