Association with Grimme and Scheytt Initially praised, subsequently rescinded support

In a surprising turn of events, German journalist Judith Scheytt finds herself at the centre of a heated debate, following the revocation of her Grimme Award. The decision, made unilaterally by the board members, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the transparency of the process.

Two jury members opposed the revocation, but their voices were not enough to overturn the decision. Scheytt, in a show of defiance, has stated that she does not regret going on the offensive, as she is not dependent on public funding.

The campaign against Scheytt appears to be spearheaded by the Cologne Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation, according to the association's chairman, journalist and AI enthusiast, Schieb. Schieb has also taken over the Grimme Institute's press inquiries, a shift that has raised eyebrows.

The Grimme Institute, in admitting that the separation between the association and the institute has not been clear enough, has added fuel to the fire. The director, Çigdem Uzunoglu, acknowledged the need for improvement in this area.

Meanwhile, journalist and author Goldmann has expressed concern over the Grimme Institute's silence on the matter. He questions the prize's worth from such an association, particularly in light of the controversy surrounding Scheytt's award revocation.

As the situation unfolds, the public waits with bated breath for more information. A search for the organization responsible for the campaign to reinstate the award to Judith Scheytt has so far yielded no results.
