Scandal, scandal, I'll call you!

The media landscape in 2007 seems at first glance so modern, so forschrittlich and would really like to make the leap and the Web 2.0, but sometimes I wonder whether this is not just about castles in the air, which are built around a medieval ideas around?

The scandal around the two women in the media Anne Will and Miriam Meckel - the so good it may be - no nunmal scandal - is ausgebläht with all the sensationalistic effort and exploited. It used to be old interviews to show how difficult it is today's woman, if she wants to prove himself in a man's needs. But primarily the barriers and difficulties but by the reporting medium itself built, reinforced and riveted.

Where there is no media coverage because there is no scandal?

I say yes. For if such non-mail would not be covered by the media, then this message would make it just in the Bavarian countryside still a scandal. But as the nation sits in front of their television sets and stares at it as illustrated in a message without images, colorful and entertaining common border elements are composed of a collage and redesigned. Brave new world of television? - Well then good night!

    So Mr. Media Mirror I am appalled to sit with so sensationalistic topics in the first place apart. Why do you even comment on such a headline. It is in this day and age anyway shocking enough that the reporters have to skip over the sexual orientation / preference of celebrities and depict it as if it were similarly significant as the first flight to the moon. I think this message, it needs no further messages.

    Hi Pooh. Because I disagree. It is social issues - they may be constructed and still so bloated - Do not leave through collective silence just like that. This attitude would be the social upheaval of the last century and we would not have been possible for the future, only the stop. Since I'm doing with that!
    But as a protest against this non-issue, there are no links in the article :-)

    So I see this as a successful cross-marketing campaign of some tabloid media has once again hit the mark. As long as there are stupid enough to read such messages or look otherwise, it will give these messages again and again, no matter how annoying they are.
    As such it will continue to go again and again! pass by the appropriate agencies and newspaper papers.

    Regards,
