Report:
"Media Workshop" by Jo-Marie van Zyl
For the first time in
my life I was really excited to attend a media workshop presented
by Mr Stephan Anders because I knew that I was not going to be disappointed.
All the other events we already attended were so excellent and therefor
I also knew this lecture is going to be even more interesting!!!!
Firstly Mr Anders started the media workshop by giving us examples
of what the German media is about. Later on the class talked about
certain pictures and the influence they have. We also talked about
the circulation of selected newspapers, general magazines and news
magazines in Germany.
During the two hours of class we also learned
about the Southwest Publishing House (Südwest Presse) which is situated
in ULM. Interesting facts about the Südwest Presse we learned were
for example that 18 publishing houses joined together in order to
cooperate, that they have about 900 000 daily readers and that the
most read regional newspaper on a daily basis in Baden-Württemberg,
is more than 345 000 papers a day.
We ended the conversation by
having a debate on what freedom of expression really means and the
consequences it have.
This media workshop made me realised that
no matter where you are in this world of ours, no person can live
without any form of media - thank you "Tübingen South Africa program
2010" for making me realise that!!!
