Lokaljournalismus ist kein Extra. Er schafft Orientierung vor Ort, ordnet ein, trennt Fakten von Meinung und macht Macht sichtbar. Gerade in Zeiten von Desinformation ist das entscheidend. Wer Demokratie will, braucht starken Lokaljournalismus. #TDL #TagDesLokaljournalismus

Shaping a democracy is a daily responsibility, reminded @ChristophPlate, Director of the KAS Media Programme SEE, in his opening speech at the 19th South East Europe Media Forum in Chisinau, Moldova. He emphasized how serious media in a small country like Moldova can play an important role in fending off Russian interference. 🇲🇩

Die @bundeswehrInfo macht einen prima Job. Davon konnten wir uns beim Besuch auf der Airbase in Constanta beim Programm der @KASmediaSEE mit Journalisten und Experten aus der ganzen Region überzeugen. Und dazu: sehr sympathische Botschafter unseres Landes!

Important event with a lot of new insights. German soldiers doing a great job together with NATO allies in their mission at 57th Airbase.

Wann schafft es der Sudan mal wieder in die Hauptnachrichten? Wann wird das mal wieder Thema für Politik und Medien bei uns? Acht Millionen Binnenvertriebene, vier Millionen aus dem Land geflohen … Aber wir sind ja von Gaza absorbiert … Was hat Gaza, was der Sudan nicht hat???

Der geschätzte @MichaelBroecker verbreitet in Table.Media diesmal eine Falschmeldung. Es gab Überlegungen in diese Richtung,aber letztlich sehe ich mich als Autor eigener Ansichten, nicht als Sprachrohr anderer,so sehr ich WW schätze.Ich bleibe Journalist. Stay tuned.
