Embedded journalism – challenges of accuracy and impartiality

Hybrid-Event

War and crisis reporting has dramatically changed in the course of the last two decades. Increasingly reporters are becoming targets of warring factions and the challenges of accurate reporting are growing. This has an effect on the way stories are reported and what kind of information or perspective is being shown to the audience. More and more reporters are “embedded” with the one or the other faction in a conflict, often unable to report from the other side. This has an effect on the portrayal of a conflict and its perception, and indirectly impacts the freedom of the press and an important civil right.

Specialist conference

21st Frankfurt Days on Media Law 2025

“Media and Elections”

The election results in the Republic of Moldova and Romania have highlighted the effects of targeted information manipulation. In many countries, the political discourse outside of parliaments is mostly taking place in talk shows and on social media. Furthermore, ahead of the German Bundestag Election 2025, serious media reporting is more necessary than ever. But under what regulatory framework does election reporting fall? What possibilities are there to defend the public against information manipulation? A free electoral decision depends on manipulation-free and truthful information provided by the media. Safeguarding democratic elections against disinformation and propaganda is one of the central challenges for a liberal democracy. Just a few days before the elections to the German Bundestag these topics will be debated during the 21st Frankfurt Days on Media Law 2025 with media lawyers and media experts from Germany, the USA and Southeast Europe at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).
