Everything Has Changed

Two African Media Houses Creatively Master the Pandemic

While willingness to pay for good journalism has long been considered low among African media consumers, appreciation for reliable information has recently increased noticeably in the course of the ­COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone prepared to be innovative and to focus on quality can succeed even in these difficult times, as 263Chat from Zimbabwe and the pan-African project The Continent impressively demonstrate.

Geopolitischer Spielball oder Gestaltungsakteur?

Die EU im Spannungsfeld zwischen den ­USA und der Volksrepublik China

Die zunehmende Systemrivalität zwischen den USA und China stellt auch die Europäische Union vor die Aufgabe einer Positionsbestimmung. Mit der Formel „Partner, Wettbewerber und Systemrivale“ hat sich die EU gegenüber China allerdings eine „Strategie“ gegeben, der die Illusion zugrunde liegt, verschiedene Politikfelder im Dialog mit der Volksrepublik sauber getrennt behandeln zu können. Logik und Erfahrung sprechen gegen diese Annahme.

Ukraine’s Challenging Task in Combatting Disinformation while Protecting Freedom of Expression

After years of hybrid warfare, the Kyiv government is cracking down on pro-Russian media, whose owners it accuses of supporting the “People’s Republics” in the east of the country. But its decision-making process is raising questions. How can Ukraine effectively defend itself against disinformation campaigns without setting dangerous precedents or disproportionately restricting freedom of expression?

Island hat gewählt

Alte Koalition mit neuem konservativen Ministerpräsidenten?

Bei den Isländischen Parlamentswahlen am 25.09.2021 baute die bisherige Regierungskoalition ihre Mehrheit aus. So erhalten die drei Parteien der Links-Rechts-Koalition unter Ministerpräsidentin Katrín Jakobsdóttir 37 von insgesamt 63 Sitzen im Althingi. Die konservative Unabhängigkeitspartei konnte mit 24,4 Prozent Ihre bisherigen 16 Sitze halten und bleibt stärkste Kraft in Island. Die Fortschrittspartei (liberal, Bauernpartei) war dennoch der große Wahlsieger mit einem Zuwachs von +6,6 Prozent und erhält 13 Sitze. Die Links-Grüne Bewegung der Ministerpräsidentin Jakobsdóttir musste dagegen deutliche Verluste hinnehmen und kam auf 12,6 Prozent und somit nur 8 Sitze.

Is Freedom of Expression at Risk in Mexico?

Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the whole of the Americas for journalists. In addition to threats from organised crime groups and cartels, representatives of the press are increasingly exposed to state repression when they critically report on the government of the incumbent Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his party.
