DRS 2: Can quality journalism survive?

This week, DRS 2 is airing a six-part series on media transformation and cultural criticism. The series kicked off Monday at noon on the program «Reflexe.» Media scholar Kurt Imhof, co-author of the «Yearbook on Media Quality,» spoke on the program about the decline in quality in the news media.

Among other things, the series sheds light on the causes and consequences of the loss of quality in the information media. The aim is to clarify what is changing for those affected, for the audience, for journalists and also for democracy when there is talk of media change and a decline in quality. The series also discusses the value of alternative electronic offerings, as well as new journalistic offerings that have emerged in the wake of media change. And it asks about the importance and value of good journalism.
