Sven Kockelmann wins Sonja Barend Award for interview with Dick Schoof

Kockelmann won the award for the first time, impressing the jury with his humane interview style with former Prime Minister Schoof. Eva Jinek placed second for her interview with Chris Stoffer on abortion, while last year's winner, Coen Verbraak, took third for his discussion with journalist Frits Abrahams about dementia. The award, given for the eighteenth time, was notably presented without its namesake, Sonja Barend, who passed away in April.
