Morning Briefing Plus: Freuen sich Journalisten über Streit und Intrigen?
Wir schreiben, was ist. Also auch über Streit und Intrigen in der Politik. Spaß macht das nicht. Deshalb blicken wir auch konstruktiv in die Zukunft – wie auf unserem Deutschland-Gipfel.
Dear readers, there is a prevalent belief among journalists that we only find interest in the conflicts within politics, preferably intertwined with personnel disputes. Any opportunity to report such a story would be welcomed by us. Recently, I heard this criticism from a high-ranking politician. It is true that we report on conflicts when they arise.
However, I am not particularly excited about this subject. In fact, I know that many of our readers feel the same way and do not wish for such coverage. In fact, the letters we receive and the reports about the ever-repeating chaos within the coalition government, whether considered unbearable or deathly boring due to repetitiveness, indicate that this sentiment is growing.
Clearly, democracy is built on conflict, which is good, but there is also a type of conflict that has long surpassed debate and is primarily destructive.
