Wolf Schneider on electronic chatter
Infel will be offering a special kind of presentation at an event on April 30, 2008.
Infel offers a lecture of a special kind at an event on April 30, 2008.The sum of chatter on earth has increased dramatically in recent decades: through the loudspeaker the chatter we are supposed to hear - through the computer the chatter we are supposed to read. The electronization of voice and writing certainly has infinite merits. But since these have been spoken of often enough, Wolf Schneider speaks of the disadvantages. And these go far beyond the inflation of words: never before has a medium given stupidity such a wide berth, never before has a medium been so closely allied with criminality as the Internet.Wolf Schneider is an honorary professor at the University of Salzburg and was honored by the German Language Society with the Media Prize for Language Culture. To date, the work of the most widely read silent teacher of the German language includes no fewer than 26 non-fiction books. He reported from Washington for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, was editor-in-chief of Die Welt, publishing director of Stern, and hosted the NDR talk show. For sixteen years, he directed the Henri Nannen School of Journalism in Hamburg. He continues to work as an instructor at five journalism schools in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and organizes seminars on readable German for business, the media and public authorities.
