The editorial "On the other hand" highlights how especially people with disabilities are deceived by " miracle healers" and dubious offers of "alternative medicine" and what negative consequences this can have for those affected. #Wunderheiler #Alternativmedizin #MenschenmitBehinderungen (translated)
"An oil disaster threatens the shores of Europe due to the Russian shadow fleet," said Kaja Kallas, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, in a statement to the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) German editorial and news network, which published details from an interview to be released in full later. According to a summary by MTI, Kallas stated that these ships are "ecological time bombs," because they are poorly maintained and lack proper insurance. "There is a high probability that the next severe oil disaster will be caused by a member of the shadow fleet near our shores," claims Kallas. According to Kallas, the European Union has carried out six inspections in recent months as part of its action against the so-called Russian shadow fleet. #olajkatasztrófa #oroszország #európaiunió (translated)
Daniel Eliasson wrote that Ahmad Mansour and Oliver Mayer Rüth had invited him to their podcast. He had declined due to scheduling reasons and in a very respectful manner, and subsequently received an email that he linked.

The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)
Jotam Confino wrote that several B.T. employees had publicly criticized the development of the media. According to him, they believed that B.T. had been used for an ideological project, that journalistic independence had been compromised, and that employees had allegedly been called in for discussions about their opinions. Confino wrote that he was not aware of any of the critics resigning, and that he personally believed it was free for both employees and others to criticize the media. As one of B.T.'s public profiles, Confino described his own experiences. He wrote that he had never received instructions about journalistic angles or been pressured to follow an ideological line. He also had not been in a conversation about his opinions or been told to be more critical of the left than the right, he wrote. Confino described his bosses as skilled and professional and said that he felt he had full journalistic freedom. Confino highlighted B.T.'s bourgeois profile and wrote that an editorial line did not in itself mean that the media was politically controlled. He asked why there was no corresponding criticism of Information, Politiken, or TV 2. He also criticized colleagues from other media, ministers, and party leaders for, in his opinion, contributing to doubts about B.T.'s independence. He pointed to B.T.'s coverage of the mink scandal, Enhedslisten's support for a terrorist organization, which according to his post was involved in the murder of a 21-year-old student from Tanzania, and anti-Semitism, among other things, in Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. Confino wrote that B.T. had made significant progress both in readership and economy, and that he was proud to be part of the media and supported the management. #BT #journalistik #medier (translated)
Marcus Adriano Birro remembers how in 1997, after being selected for a six-month project at Swedish Radio P3, he traveled to Stockholm for radio training together with 24 other young people. On the train, he met Sladjan Osmanagic. Birro recounted that they started talking after Sladjan heard music from The Jesus and Mary Chain that Birro was playing. They became close friends during the training in Stockholm and Gysinge, Birro wrote, and then continued to work together at Swedish Radio in Gothenburg. Sladjan initially worked on Musikjournalen and later became nationally known through Rally in P3. Birro also remembered their long conversations about football and Sladjan's love for Italian football. Birro wrote that Sladjan later invited him to Svenska Fans and supported his way into sports journalism. After the news of Sladjan's death, Birro described him as both uncompromising and warm, expressing sorrow over losing a friend. He also sent love and care to Sladjan's loved ones and wrote that he would raise a glass to his memory. #vänskap #SverigesRadio #fotboll (translated)
Apollo News reported that Correctiv had access to sensitive editorial data from Nius and used it for its own research. According to Nius, the data came from an illegal hacking attack. Correctiv denied having been involved in obtaining the data set. https://t.co/E9nlJCZfSg #Journalismus #Datenschutz #Hacking (translated)
Key Pousttchi wrote that it is naive to believe in coincidences. He claimed that the editorial systems of Apollo News and NIUS had been hacked and that the material had subsequently ended up with Correctiv. He referred to parts of the left-green NGO sector as a state-supported criminal organization. #Zufall #Medien #Korruption (translated)
The author described the morning as a moment when an editorial office becomes the "crime scene." Correctiv admitted to NIUS that it had access to a comprehensive dataset from the NIUS.de system. #Journalismus #Recherche #Datenjournalismus #DE (translated)
Zara Riffler expressed surprise that a government-funded platform, according to her description, searched hacked data from another newsroom known for its criticism of the government. #Datenschutz #Regierungskritik #Privatsphäre (translated)
The author wrote that Correctiv was in the NIUS editorial office and had material from a hacked NIUS system. He asked who had opened the door for Correctiv and described the early morning as a moment when an editorial office had become a crime scene. (translated)
The author accused the publicly funded Correctiv of having searched the NIUS editorial system with allegedly stolen access credentials and having looked for sources instead of reporting the crime. He did not call it a fact-check, but rather an attack on press freedom, and asked when Joachim Steinhöfel would take over the case. #Pressefreiheit #Faktencheck #Journalismus (translated)
Kasper Støvring wrote that when 80 percent of journalists were left-leaning, it required strong editorial control to ensure that conservative media remained conservative. #journalistik #medier #venstreorienteret (translated)
"It is a creeping normalization of the right-wing extremist land grab that we are experiencing here once again - and not only, as announced, through the members of the BSW," said co-party chairman Felix Banaszak to the editorial network Germany. #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #Bundespolitik (translated)
Peter Rasmussen wrote that several employees at B.T. had sent a so-called "concern letter" to editor-in-chief Simon Richard Nielsen because they believed, according to his presentation, that the newspaper's editorial line was too right-leaning. He described it as a showdown between the newspaper's line and left-leaning journalists. Rasmussen believed that B.T. lacked enough value-politically right-leaning journalists to run the newspaper without such a showdown. He also wrote that the newspaper was under pressure to moderate its line but claimed that the Danish population lay significantly to the right of the media. According to him, B.T. therefore filled a gap in the media landscape that no other media covered. He urged Simon Richard Nielsen to maintain the editorial line and wrote that a change could make B.T. unnecessary. #dkmedier https://t.co/IZEtDErAVd #dkmedier #journalistik #venstreorienteret (translated)
