Christine Strobl at OMR
We are living in the midst of a political turning point. Globally, with a war in Ukraine that has now been going on for over three years, a customs dispute that is turning global trade upside down and climate change that almost seems to be forgotten with new news every day. Nationally, with a political power shift to the right and a huge debt package. The role of the media is also constantly shifting in this mixed situation. But where to? What can and must established media brands do? With which formats and on which platforms do they contribute to democratic opinion-forming? On the Blue Stage, Christine Strobl, Dr. Florian Kumb, Stephan Schmitter and Markus Breitenecker will discuss these questions, among others, from the perspective of the major TV stations.
