Press Council: Complaint about caricature rejected
A cartoon depicting the pope with a swastika does not violate journalistic standards. This is the conclusion reached by the Press Council, which dismissed a complaint against the Tages-Anzeiger.
In addition, the question of whether satirical contributions and caricatures have a discriminatory effect or violate human dignity should be judged by a generous standard. In the opinion of the Press Council, the Pope caricature should be viewed in conjunction with the accompanying commentary. It criticizes the fact that the Pope in Israel spoke of the Church's compassion for the victims, but not of the Church's complicity.

SRG: Quality debate continues online
At the invitation of SRG, more than 150 media professionals gathered in Lucerne on November 10, 2009, to discuss quality and relevance in public service broadcasting. Starting today, all presentations and debates, video and radio segments, as well as the photo gallery of the 2009 Quality Symposium created by a class at the Media Training Center (MAZ), are available on the website.
In his response, media scientist Stephan Russ-Mohl called for more education about journalism and the media in the media, in particular about the effort required for high-quality programs and broadcasts: If NGOs succeed in drawing attention to the impending climate catastrophe, then the media should also succeed in educating people about the risks of information waste and media intellectual pollution.
