Akademie-Gespräch 12 "Die Politik und die Medien". Ulrike Hermann im Gespräch mit Katrin Göring-Eckardt, Norbert Lammert, Richard Meng, Michael Naumann und Klaus Staeck in der Akademie der Künste
SummaryThe private lives of prominent politicians, the public intrigues in the CSU, the affairs around Peter Hartz and the trial against him, the corruption network in the Siemens concern and the Mannesmann trial have made headlines in recent weeks. Politicians and managers are more and more under general suspicion that they are only committed to their own interests and not to the common good. Their extensive isolation nourishes the reproach of arrogance and presumption of power. It is about the responsibility for a development that leads more and more citizens to disenchantment with politics and contempt for the media and that can endanger democracy.
An academy discussion about the relationship between politics and the media, about a development that often only makes politics accessible through scandals, and about their social causes.
