At the 2012 conference of the Swiss Media Criticism Association on November 14th in the packed auditorium of the University of Education, experts examined the tension between media freedom and the limitations of this freedom. Media freedom cannot mean unlimited arbitrariness. As is well known, there are laws, the journalist code and licensing regulations that restrict this freedom. The speakers made it clear that the idea of freedom in satire, cartoons, entertainment and south africa rcs data advertising is not always clear and unambiguous. This vagueness can be used to influence attitudes, ideas and opinions. The insightful conference made clear the consequences of non-information formats for public discourse in a democracy. Few are aware that ideologies are often conveyed - even in apparently apolitical entertainment programs and films. Media expert Prof. Dr. Christian Doelker from the University of Zurich once again made a surprising play on words in his introduction. Just as he compared the "screen with the image" and the "family gathered in front of the TV" with a "fireplace situation" in his lectures and books, he also points out the middle four letters of the verb verBREIten in the sentence "information is spread" and thus shows that much of what the media conveys is often a meaningless MASH (my interpretation: ideologies are often wrapped up in entertainment mush). At this instructive conference I anchored another sentence that I remember so well: "Education is what remains when we look back on a
educational event have forgotten everything."In this case, this conference is one of the more valuable educational events for me. Because I have not only remembered these two statements.
