Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that Jürgen Elsässer was acquitted of the charge of defamation last Wednesday before the District Court of Naumburg on the Saale. According to him, conflicts between general personality rights and freedom of the press should be brought before the press chambers of the regional courts and could not be addressed in criminal proceedings before a district court. #Pressefreiheit #Persönlichkeitsrecht #Justiz (translated)
Julian Adrat wrote that ARD, ZDF, FAZ, ZEIT, Spiegel, Tagesspiegel, Süddeutsche, ntv, taz, Deutschlandfunk, MDR, NDR, RBB, SWR, ORF, and SRF would remain silent about people who burned down France and robbed seniors down to their underwear. Without X, one would not learn anything about it, he claimed. That is why these media wanted to ban X, wrote Adrat. #Pressefreiheit #Medien #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

It's a pity that the media law comes at the expense of victims of violence. Unfortunately, no representatives of victims were consulted, and the lobbying of the million-dollar publishing houses was given in to. Violence and hate is not freedom of the press. (translated)

Miró wrote that the current reporting on Fabian Köster is meant to portray critical inquiries from media figures of the left establishment as mere insults, thereby stifling critical questions in general. In this process, reporters are redefined as streamers and critical questions as attacks, in order to shield media people from further criticism. According to Miró, Köster and others can continue to criticize without being questioned about their work. Miró described the campaign as transparent and ridiculous, stating that media people must accept questions about their actions when adhering to journalistic standards—especially when the public has to finance their professional existence and they regularly mock others. #Journalismus #Medienkritik #Pressefreiheit (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the EU maintains the sanctions against the German journalist Hüseyin Dogru. According to Warweg, the EU Council does not consider the presumption of innocence to apply to Dogru, and press freedom is only granted to him in "good faith." The Council judges this itself, wrote Warweg, and described it as absurd. He also referred to his current article on the Dogru case. https://t.co/aXby9zecEX #Pressefreiheit #Rechtsstaat #Sanktionen (translated)
