When journalists are harsh

Last Monday, Roger Schawinski and neo-publisher Markus Somm dueled on Radio 1 about Biden, Putin, Trump and – Jonas Projer. They disagreed, except on the reporting on the latter , who was surprisingly appointed editor-in-chief of the NZZ am Sonntag ( persoenlich.com reported ).
"Awful, scathing journalism," ranted the media pioneer. His target was the Projer-critical article by Kurt W. Zimmermann in the Weltwoche and that by Michèle Binswanger in the Tagi, both of asia rcs data which questioned Projer's character (disloyalty to the employer and difficulties in working together). Conversely, Zimmermann in this newspaper castigated the negative reviews of Somm's Nebelspalter as "colleague envy," while Binswanger expressed skepticism on the Internet about the letter of protest from her "Tagi" editorial colleagues .
It may sound cynical, but it is comforting: as long as journalists criticize journalists, journalism lives on. Recently, there has almost been the false impression that the SRG digital strategy or the quickest route to state money triggers more emotions than people and content. It is only when the media is no longer an issue for the general public that things are really bad. Fortunately, this is not the case here. Only in subsidized agriculture does it make no difference whether cowbells ring or not.
