Medienstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer will den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk drastisch verkleinern. Das ist gar keine Neuigkeit. Warum es trotzdem eine Nachricht ist, hab ich in die SZ geschrieben: https://t.co/m0IyQUkntP (€) #Medien #Rundfunk #WolframWeimer
The "Berliner Zeitung" is copying an article from another medium – and making a small change. Do journalists have to accept it when their work is exploited like this by others? The Hamburg Regional Court says temporarily: no. (translated)
Considering that "mainstream media" are allegedly so irrelevant, a "Spiegel" cover still generates astonishing attention. The right-wing press even believes it can influence voters, if only in the form of defiance. (translated)
"Tip Toe," the new series by Russell T Davies, is about the societal backlash against LGBTQ. It is brutal, not subtle. With a fantastic Alan Cumming. My review for the SZ: https://t.co/do3AIewvms (€) (translated)
Instead of painstakingly familiarizing themselves with a topic, @berlinerzeitung lightly rewrites an analysis from @LTO. Is this merely brazen or does it also violate copyright? The Hamburg Regional Court has now prohibited the publication. (translated)
"The promise of the AfD is not primarily that things will get better for its voters. No, it primarily promises that many others will fare worse." (translated)
Donald Trump compares a CNN reporter to a transgender woman. Everyone understands that this is meant as an insult to the CNN reporter. Everyone expresses solidarity with the CNN reporter. Nobody expresses solidarity with the transgender woman. (translated)
... When a "man of God" expresses himself in such a misanthropic way, that is a message that belongs in the public sphere. But it did not *report* that, rather it provided a platform for misanthropy. (2/2) (translated)
"The AfD talks about how they want to reshape the whole country according to their ethnic ideal, and the democratic center has – in the form of politicians or journalists – made critical comments about the counter-financing. This cannot go well." (translated)
... of a satirist who does not refrain from making pointed remarks even in the face of a murderous dictatorship. If an investigation is now being conducted against him, he will take it as further proof that this is his role. (translated)
One could laugh at this misunderstanding, if it weren't part of a larger societal backlash, in which attempts are made to define normality exclusively again and to exclude people. My response to the FAZ comment in the SZ. (translated)
In the RTL show "Bad Boyfriends," there is suddenly and disturbingly a casual reference to a femicide. The broadcaster urges its audience to deal with the topic "respectfully and responsibly." (translated)
Whoever gains profit by infringing on the rights of others should not be allowed to keep that profit. A very good analysis of why the verdict against Ringier is so significant – and why it does not threaten press freedom. (translated)
What is being sold as journalism today largely operates without any independent human thought or creativity, and this has been the case long before or because of AI. A reality check: https://t.co/19bXW8KhR8 (€) (translated)
What one learns here about the criminal Andrew Tate and his system really surpasses everything. And none of those who have promoted and protected him have to seriously justify themselves. The focus on Epstein seems like a distraction maneuver. (translated)
Tomorrow, 75,000 people in the English province will decide on the Prime Minister for 70 million. But British electoral law could have even more drastic effects in the coming years. I wrote (and spoke) about it for @JETZTAT: https://t.co/TIB0XNUkv7 (translated)
... No, it is a "prank" that "is supposed to provoke thought" and appeals to journalists to "commit themselves more than ever to the view, curiosity, and critical search for the truth," said an Axel Springer spokesperson. ... (2/3) (translated)
I have asked Axel Springer for the SZ whether the editorial (!) from the "Welt am Sonntag", which Mathias Döpfner had written by a chatbot and is titled "by Mathias Döpfner", reflects Mathias Döpfner's opinion. Response: ... (1/3) (translated)
Terrible suspicion: The "Bravo" is only being kept artificially alive so that television people can celebrate their birthday every few years. I watched the ARD and RTL documentaries about its 70th anniversary for the SZ. (translated)
Angelique Geray went undercover for RTL among young neo-Nazis. That was dangerous and tricky: she had to blend in, but also not incite anyone. A BKA memo raises questions about whether she has always respected the boundaries of such research. (translated)
