Media Podcast: Why are everyone talking about freedom of expression now?

Stand: 13:39 clock | Reading time: 2 minutes

NAlmost all of the major opinion-forming media have written cover stories about freedom of expression in recent weeks. From WELT AM SONNTAG to “Spiegel”, “Süddeutsche Zeitung” to “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung” and “Zeit”. The stories ask if they still exist, the freedom of expression – and if so, in what condition?

In the podcast “The Media Week” we talk about it. And ask us what this emphasis says about the media itself. A storm in a glass of water, the search for attention, or justified concern for a high good, which is creeping devalued?
