No criticism at all!

Under the title Bloß keine Kritik! (Don't criticise!), I will be talking to Susanne Hermanski and Katja Kraft about the loss of importance of the arts in difficult times and the complex role of cultural journalism in the struggle for the survival of cultural offerings as we know them. Both renowned and experienced journalists have experienced how cultural journalism in print, radio, TV and the programme departments of the major public broadcasters is increasingly being manoeuvred to the sidelines, and not just since the pandemic and the comparison of culture with "brothels and zoos". This is a trend that I already experienced as a ZDF cultural journalist in the capital city studio in Berlin in the 1990s. What does culture itself have to do to remain relevant and generate an audience?
