17: Demokratien unter Druck: Medien und Populismus
Unterstützt von Stiftung Mercator

Hauptschule
Breakout
/
in englischer SpracheSind Medien mitverantwortlich für das Aufkommen des Populismus in Europa? Und wenn Ja: Warum? Bilden sie die Komplexität des Alltags nicht ausreichend ab? Polarisieren sie nur und verstärken somit radikale Diskurse? Oder reden sie gar alles zu schön und gehen auf die Sorgen der LeserInnen nicht ein? Diskutieren Sie gemeinsam mit MedienmacherInnen und -wissenschaftlerInnen, wie man heutzutage konstruktive Medienarbeit vorantreiben kann!
Weitere Inputs zum Thema erhalten Sie im Plenum „Demokratien unter Druck“ und in der Breakout Session 7 „Zivilgesellschaft und Populismus“.
