Can Dündar about the Turkey election

17 May 2023. There was a certain disappointment in Can Dündar’s and his wife Dilek’s face, when the first predictions of the Turkish election were published last Sunday: No landslide victory for Erdoğan’s challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, no immediate removal of Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from office. If the opposition had won, Dündar and his wife would have returned to Turkey immediately. Now they have to stay here indefinitely.
It’s not that they don’t like it here, they tell us on election day in the garden of the Maxim Gorki Theatre, from where Dündar commented live on the election. But they miss their home, their families, their house (confiscated by the AKP), and both of them has seen their old and sick parents for years.
A large part of this result is due to the fact that two-thirds of the 1.5 million Turks eligible to vote in Germany once again voted for the increasingly autocratic Erdoğan without even living in Turkey, says Dündar: “I have been observing and trying to understand this for 20 years.”

AHG is partner of the M100 Media Forum in Tbilisi and the M100 SC in Potsdam

15 May 2023. We are very much looking forward to working with the Alfred Herrhausen Society at the M100 Media Forum in Tbilisi and the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium in Potsdam!

The M100 Media Forum will take place on 22 June under the M100 annual title “Between Ambition and Disarray: The Future of Democracy” in the Georgian capital. It is jointly organised by the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium, the Institute for Media and Communication Policy (IfM) and the Alfred Herrhausen Society. Cooperation partners are Radio Free Europe and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

Tbilisi is the capital of a young, emerging democracy that is under enormous pressure. Since the Russian invasion in 2008, Georgia has not only had to contend with a constant security threat from Russia, but also with the concrete consequences of the war in Ukraine in the form of tens of thousands of refugees. It is a country with an impressively vibrant civil society and committed journalists who need our support. The conference will bring together media professionals, NGOs, policy makers and the interested public to discuss the future of democracy in an international perspective.

HOW TO RUN A JOURNALISM START-UP?

25 April 2023. Have you ever thought about creating your own media start-up? But you don’t know how to get started, how to survive in an information jungle that is getting denser by the day, where and how to reach your target audience and – last but not least – how to make money? Or have you already started and want to know what other people’s experiences are with their journalistic business model?
To answer these questions, we invited the founders of three very different young media start-ups to talk about their motivation, their first steps, their set-up, their financing, but also about their doubts and problems:
Julius O. Fintelmann, co-founder of “The European Correspondent“, which was only launched at the end of November 2022;
Florian Vitello, co-founder and Viktoria Franke, editor-in-chief of “Good News Magazin“, which aims to counteract the daily overload of bad and threatening news;
Marvin Schade, founder of the online magazine “Medieninsider” in 2020.

Our free Q&A session will be moderated by Sabine Sasse, head of programme of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium.
The event will take place on Thursday 25 May 2023 from 18:00 – 19:00 hrs (CET) in English on Zoom.
To register, please write an email to events(at)m100potsdam.org.

We look forward to your registration and to an interesting, exciting discussion!
