Is there some truth to the current critique of the Media?

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 7 mai 2020 • Durée 01:15:52

Walter Cronkite, the late great US journalist, once said: "Journalism is what we need to make democracy work". We're very much in agreement with him, which gives us all the more reason to hold the media accountable, when they don't live up to that high standard. Over time, media ownership was centralized in the hands of very few very big companies, whose first priority appears to be profits, rather than quality journalism. We saw the rise of ratings-driven entertainment-first journalism, where narratives and opinions, rather than facts and investigative reporting dominate television news. Now, is the time to change course!

Teaser: The role of the media in politics - Status quo vs. Utopia

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 30 avril 2020 • Durée 14:37

The media is facing a lot of criticism in countries like the US, the UK or Germany. While Donald Trump is just referring to them as Fake News, whenever it's convenient and because he doesn't like to be held accountable, there are very good reasons to criticize the Media on a lot of things. In this teaser episode, I'll focus on two central points, that have been raised many times over the years already. Yet, the criticism is probably more valid and urgent today than ever before. More on that in my next Episode.

Financialization of the Global Economy - Now is our time to take back control (with Johannes Bull Haraldsen)

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 23 avril 2020 • Durée 01:06:56

The financial industry and investment behavior of big corporations have changed significantly since the late 1970s, resulting in absurd levels of wealth and power accumulation at the very top. Companies are giving away almost all their money for stock buybacks and dividends instead of raising wages, increase investments or safe money for a recession. It is time to re-democratize those companies, stop their terrible management practices, and put workers and stakeholders first.

Introduction: Young and old voters want entirely different things - Let's bridge that gap

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

dimanche 19 avril 2020 • Durée 16:01

Inspired by Anand Giridharadas, who called our time "The age of curiosity", we have to understand that young and old people make very different choices when it comes to elections. Still, young voices are not as much represented in the public discussion and their turnout is significantly lower - Let's change that.
