Steady as she goes
This event is in German.
Changing consumer habits and falling advertising revenues are fundamentally reshaping the media landscape. In response, many sectors of the news media have resorted to hyperbole, scandal, and sensationalism. Roger de Weck fears the role of the fourth estate is under threat. His response is steady as she goes, resorting to the traditional values of thorough research, a balanced view and staying true to yourself. In doing so he shows how to revitalize journalism. ‘An essay well worth reading.’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
