Ultimately, this also illustrates what professional journalism can achieve in an open society with a high degree of media freedom: namely, showing the whole picture, finding out how something really is or is changing. Media in Germany (or Switzerland) can show reality without having to fear being thrown in prison as is the case in Turkey.
But at some point the venerable Swiss Press turkey rcs data Association became a new construct that I never understood and left early on. Legal notice! Cartoonists, cameramen, directors (!) and many more were now allowed to be on the BR, the professional register. It may be that some people were happy about that - for me it was the beginning of the end. BR - highest seal of quality for all contacts in the everyday life of a journalist.
With more than 5,000 members today, the former association of Swiss journalists has become a mass product. And now they need money. The manageable association, as I knew it, would have received it or had it. It's a shame, but I'm not surprised.
