Blickpunkt Lokales Heute beginnen mehrere Baustellen Auf zahlreiche Baustellen müssen sich Autofahrer ab heute im Stadtgebiet Augsburg einstellen. Nachts ist ein Stück der Bundesstraße 17 völlig dicht, weil dort eine große Verkehrstafel aufgebaut wird. Außerdem gibt es Bauarbeiten an der B17-Auffahrt in Stadtbergen. Desweiteren rollen in mehreren Stadtteilen die Bagger an, so im innenstadtnahen Bismarckviertel. Hier wird die Bismarckstraße saniert, die lange Zeit ein Kopfsteinpflaster voller Schlaglöcher aufwies. Eine möglicherweise historische Momentaufnahme: Am Samstag explodierte das Gebäude des Kernkraftwerks Fukushima Eins. Die Betreiber versicherten, dass der Reaktor im Inneren dicht gehalten habe. Doch was im Inneren des Brennstäbedruckbehälters abläuft, ist unklar. Experten befürchten, dass es bereits zur gefährlichen Kernschmelze gekommen ist und eine verheerende Katastrophe drohen könnte.

Japan kämpft gegen Atomkatastrophe
Erdbeben Angst vor Super-GAU im Kraftwerk Fukushima. Widersprüchliche Angaben über Kernschmelze in zwei Reaktoren. Region mit 530 000 Menschen evakuiert. Opferzahlen steigen. Neuer Parteienstreit um AKW-Laufzeiten in Deutschland Augsburg In Japan kämpfen die Sicherheitsbehörden gegen eine Ausweitung der durch das Erdbeben und Tsunami ausgelösten Unfälle in mehreren Atomkraftwerken. In die stark beschädigten Anlagen des Kraftwerkskomplexes Fukushima pumpten Rettungsteams mit Bor versetztes Meerwasser, um die Brennelemente der außer Kontrolle geratenen Reaktoren abzukühlen. Das Ausmaß der Atomunfälle blieb nach zahlreichen widersprüchlichen Angaben von Regierung und Kraftwerksbetreibern weiter unklar. Die Nachrichten überschlugen sich das ganze Wochenende dramatisch. Im Land herrschte Angst vor einem nicht mehr beherrschbaren atomaren Super-GAU (größter anzunehmender Unfall). Die Regierung befürchtete am Sonntag, dass es im Atomkraftwerk Fukushima 1 in zwei Reaktoren zu einer hochgefährlichen Kernschmelze kam. Dort hatte am Samstag eine Explosion das Gebäude rund um den Block 1 zerstört. Nach Angaben der Betreibergesellschaft wurde der Schutzmantel des Reaktors aber nicht beschädigt. Am Sonntag wurde bekannt, dass auch in einem zweiten Reaktor der Anlage nach dem Ausfall des Kühlsystems eine Explosion drohte. In die-
Gipfel beschließt Reform des Euro Brüssel Ein Jahr nach der Eskalation der Euro-Krise hat sich die Währungsunion endgültig in eine Beistandsunion verwandelt: In einer Nachtsitzung zurrten die Staatsund Regierungschefs die Grundzüge der Euro-Rettung fest. Dazu gehört, dass die Gemeinschaft künftig direkt Schuldtitel ihrer maroden Mitglieder aufkauft. „Der wesentliche Teil der Arbeit ist geleistet“, klopfte Kanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) sich selbst und ihren Kollegen auf die Schulter. Sie ist mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden, denn sie hat viel erreicht: Der Wettbewerbspakt, mit dem sich die Euro-Staaten zu Strukturreformen verpflichten, wurde abgesegnet. Portugal und Griechenland sagten eine Verschärfung ihrer Sparkurse zu. Aber die Kanzlerin machte auch Zugeständnisse, die ihr in Berlin viel Ärger einbringen könnten. (dapd) »Wirtschaft
sem Meiler wird auch Plutonium eingesetzt. Wegen erhöhter Radioaktivität mussten 22 Menschen im Krankenhaus behandelt werden. Auch im AKW Tokai versagte eine Pumpe für das Kühlsystem den Dienst. Die Anlage befindet sich 120 Kilometer nordöstlich der Hauptstadt Tokio. Am Sonntag wurde zu-
dem für das AKW Onagawa der nukleare Notstand ausgerufen. Später teilten die Behörden aber mit, dass dort keine Radioaktivität ausgetreten sei. In den japanischen Katastrophenregionen mussten bisher etwa 530 000 Menschen ihre Wohnungen und Häuser verlassen. Rund 450 000 waren durch das Beben und den
Tsunami obdachlos geworden. Weitere 80 000 mussten ihre Unterkünfte verlassen, als die Sicherheitszone um die havarierten Reaktoren in Fukushima auf 20 Kilometer ausgedehnt wurde. Auch die Opferzahlen steigen drei Tage nach der Katastrophe immer weiter an: Allein in der Region
Das Atomkraftwerk Fukushima ● Störfälle In der Atomanlage in Fukushima, 200 Kilometer nordöstlich von Tokio, gab es wiederholt Pannen. Nach einem Erdbeben 2008 schwappte radioaktives Wasser aus einem Becken, in dem verbrauchte Brennstäbe lagerten. 2006 war radioaktiver Dampf ausgetreten, 2002 waren Risse in Wasserrohren entdeckt worden. Im Jahr 2000 musste ein Reaktor wegen eines Lochs in einem Brennstab abgeschaltet werden. ● Vertuschung Im September 2002 musste der Betreiber Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Tepco) einräumen, Berichte über Schäden jahrelang gefälscht zu haben. Mehrere Manager traten zurück. ● Geschichte Das Atomkraftwerk Fukushima Eins mit sechs Siedewasserreaktoren ist eines der größten der Welt und ging ab 1971 in Betrieb. (dpa)

Krise in Libyen verschärft sich
Gegenoffensive Gaddafi-Truppen rücken gegen Aufständische vor Kairo Das massive Vordringen der libyschen Armee gegen die Aufständischen setzt den Westen unter Zugzwang. Truppen des libyschen Staatschefs Muammar al-Gaddafi rückten am Sonntag auf die östliche Küstenstadt Brega vor. Der Ort sei „von den Terrorbanden gesäubert“, verkündete das staatliche libysche Fernsehen in Tripolis. Rebellenkommandeure erklärten der BBC, dass sie sich aus der Stadt zurückzogen, nachdem diese unter intensiven Beschuss durch die Artillerie der Gaddafi-Truppen geraten war. Die Aufständischen, die den Osten Libyens kontrollieren, hatten erst am Vortag den 100 Kilometer westlich von Brega gelegenen Ölhafen Ras Lanuf an die Regimetruppen verloren. Die Offensive der Gaddafi-Streitkräfte gegen die Stadt
Miyagi, wo das Kraftwerk Onagawa liegt, sind vermutlich Tausende Menschen durch das Erdbeben und den anschließenden Tsunami ums Leben gekommen. Ein örtlicher Polizeichef sagte, er habe „keinen Zweifel“, dass die Zahl der Toten bis auf über 10 000 allein in Miyagi steigen werde. Die Stärke des Erdbebens wurde derweil von 8,9 auf 9,0 korrigiert. Dies bedeutet, dass das Beben zehnmal stärker war als bisher angenommen. Die drohende atomare Katastrophe in Japan entfachte in Deutschland eine heftige Debatte über die jüngst beschlossene Verlängerung der Atomlaufzeiten. Kanzlerin Angela Merkel kündigte nach einer Krisensitzung der Koalition eine Überprüfung der Sicherheitsstandards für Reaktoren an. Die Opposition forderte einen schnelleren Ausstieg aus der Atomkraft. (AZ)
Misurata, die letzte AufständischenHochburg im Westen des Landes, kam indes ins Stocken, nachdem in der angreifenden Brigade eine Meuterei ausgebrochen war. Die Außenminister der Arabischen Liga riefen am Samstag in Kairo den Weltsicherheitsrat auf,

mit einer Flugverbotszone den libyschen Luftraum zu kontrollieren und die Bombardements der Gaddafi-treuen Luftwaffe auf Stellungen der Rebellen zu stoppen. Das Weiße Haus wertete die Forderung der Liga als „wichtigen Schritt“. Präsidentensprecher Jay Carney sagte, damit werde der internationale Druck auf Gaddafi erhöht. Die USA würden die Opposition weiter unterstützen und „alle Eventualitäten“ vorbereiten. Bundesaußenminister Guido Westerwelle sagte am Sonntag: „Ich begrüße die klare Haltung der Arabischen Liga gegen die Verbrechen des Gaddafi-Regimes.“ Die Situation in Libyen sei besorgniserregend. „Diktator Gaddafi führt weiter einen Krieg gegen sein eigenes Volk.“ (dpa) »Politik

20 Categories: n

7. Visual Storytelling. In this category it is all about reporting with visual resources. Pictures, infographics, supplement boxes and short texts create an innovative form of reporting.
n
n 8. Visualization. Here, outstanding photographic presentations of topics are sought for. n 9. Photo Reportage. The design of reportage pages is assessed. On those pages photos should be the dominant means of conveying information. n
10. Infographics.

n 13.
n 14. Special Pages. Single pages from supplements such as travel pages or pages concerning special occasions belong to this category.

n 20.
It is possible that the jury will create a new category during the judging process.
Please be aware of the following useful instructions: Basics: n It is up to you what categories you submit pages in. n
Do not send in more than 12 submissions per category.
n
The total charge for all submitted pages is 150 Euro per newspaper.
n
Send only the individual newspaper pages, and not the complete newspaper containing the pages.
n
You can stick any explanatory notes on the back of the page concerned.
n
It’s best for you to mark the category, in which the particular page concerned is to be submitted, with a sticker on the back of that page. If the page is not self- explanatory, please make an additional comment in English or German at the bottom of the page. Bergens Tidende does that in a exemplary manner. The sheet is stuck to the back side and can be flipped to the front.
n
We reserve the right to change the submissions category if we consider it a better match with greater chances.
n
n
The same page should not be submitted in different categories.
Sending back impossible. There are too many pages, so there is no chance to have the pages mailed back.
n
Your participation‘s formation: n Please don’t send the newspaper page in lavishly designed folders or plastic wrappers. All submissions are supposed to have the same chances, which is why the jury will only judge newspaper pages and no portfolios of any kind. n
Computer print-outs or drafts are not admissible.
n
The pages may not be stuck on carton.
n
Double pages: Is is not enough to rip them out of the newspaper. That method tears the paper which destroys every layout. Double pages should be stuck together. The best way is to use tape on the back side of the page. Paperclips are not sufficient enough.
Participation in the online sector or iPad: The best way is to send us a description of your website as pdf file. The advantage is that we can use direct internet links. The Portuguese newspaper “i” made plausible comments:

Frequently asked questions:
Considering the huge amount of submissions it is impossible for us to confirm the receipt of your entry.
Can you acknowledge the receipt of our pages? At some point we loose track of all the submissions so it is impossible for us to send confirmations. We regain overview when the pages have been sorted according to the different categories.
n
We missed the deadline. Did we also miss this year‘s chance? No, you still have a chance to win. The jury holds their meeting traditionally at the end of October. Everything that makes it‘s way until then, will take part in the competition.
n
What are we supposed to submit in the category visualization? It‘s about presenting a topic visually in a very incisive way. An example:

“10% of the Dutch population between 16 and 69 take to the bottle to release themselves from their problems. Are you among them?“, is what the nationwide newspaper “AD“ from the Netherlands writes on this alarming, but well-known topic. The picture of a portrait seen double is a clever means of visualizing the effect of alcoholism on the brain.
We forgot to submit important pages. Can we send them in late? No problem. Please make a clear statement in which category you would like to have them placed.
n
Which pages should be submitted in the category photo reportage? A photo reportage tells a story mostly by it‘s pictures. It would be best if the pictures are placed in a logic order. An example taken from the newspaper Sydsvenskan:

Judgement and criteria:
All pages will be sorted in the different categories. Later they will be placed on tables for judging. n
The members of the jury bring in all their knowledge about journalism, design and photography into the evaluation.
n
In each category of the competition the best pages and ideas are looked for. What is innovative? What is new? What can one learn from this page? This are questions which are discussed by the jury.
n
The standard of the design of the sent in papers has to be clearly above the normal. Therefore, it is not enough to make a neatly designed newspaper, which quite a number of papers try to achieve.
A high standard in the use of visuals, including photographic cuts, the size of the photos and variation of formats is required. Uniform sizes and formats and lack of care with photographic cuts are sure to make a negative impression on the jury.
n
The layout of the pages should neither be too uniform nor too variable. If it is too uniform, it will be boring; if it is too variable, it might appear chaotic. The winners have found the golden mean: a systematic use of fixed elements of design for the entire newspaper.
n
What is innovative? What is new? What can one learn from this page? This are questions which are discussed by the jury.
The layout has to be of professional quality. Block make-up and an unmistakable connection between text and picture have to be guaranteed.
n
n
Typographic elements have to be strictly used on all pages.
The chief prizewinners are unconventional, distinctive and innovative in the widest sense in the use of their creative and conceptual means.
n
The present competition will put stronger emphasis on innovative concepts. This is considered in a special category.
