THE PRINCIPLE NEVERTHELESS
\nWhy we need to save journalism from the media<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the crisis of journalism as a challenge to democratic politics<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Authoritarian populists are on the rise. Disinformation and fake news are rampant. And the journalism that should be fighting back? It can't get out of the crisis. There may be more media, but there is less and less funding for journalism. Publishers want to make up for their losses by publishing even more loud opinions and soft topics. However, \u00bbtabloid digitalisation\u00ab benefits the populists, who use the same stylistic devices: Exaggeration, scandalisation, excitement.<\/p>\n

Roger de Weck loves journalism as a profession. He knows it in all its facets - as a newspaperman and broadcaster, reporter and presenter. And he is worried because the laws of the media business and those of journalism are becoming increasingly divergent. In contrast, de Weck relies on the \u00bbnonetheless principle\u00ab: researching, weighing things up, staying true to himself - despite cost-cutting measures, despite X & Co. But how does that work? The author shows how journalism can be strengthened. Because without this valuable spoilsport, the game doesn't work in democracy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Roger de Weck<\/strong>, born in 1953, was editor-in-chief of Die Zeit, director-general of Swiss radio and television and a member of the Future Council for Reforms at ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandfunk. Suhrkamp Verlag most recently published Die Kraft der Demokratie, which was awarded the Bruno Kreisky Prize for the Political Book of 2020.<\/p>\n
