According to a report published in the Tagesspiegel on 19 April 2024, the German government is considering setting up a citizens' assembly to review COVID-19 policy. "As a first step, we are proposing a citizens' assembly in which randomly selected people can describe their experiences and make recommendations for the future," Katja Mast, First Parliamentary Secretary of the SPD-Bundestagsfraktion in the Bundestag, told the Tagesspiegel. According to the report, the BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN and FDP Freie Demokraten are also open to the idea. "For us Greens, it is crucial that we clarify quickly and, if possible, in consensus with the other democratic parliamentary groups how we can come to terms with the COVID-19 period," Irene Mihalic, First Parliamentary Secretary of the Greens, told the newspaper. Several instruments are conceivable for this, in addition to a commission of enquiry in parliament, this also includes the idea of a citizens' assembly. The Liberals were also in favour of the idea of a Citizens' Assembly, but they maintained their wish for the establishment of a commission of enquiry. This would be the "gold standard for having highly complex legal and scientific issues analysed by independent experts", said Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus, Parliamentary Secretary and health expert for the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag. However, her party is open to "further bodies such as a citizens' assembly". „A citizens' assembly and a newly created commission offer the opportunity to hold these debates without foaming at the mouth," SPD parliamentary group leader Mast told the Tagesspiegel newspaper. In this way, the rifts caused by the pandemic could be overcome. According to the report, the parliamentary group leaders want to agree on a common approach in the coming week. According to the "Tagesspiegel", the CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion is sceptical about a reappraisal.

And of course they blame the media...They? The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) which scored close to 30% in Sunday's election in Brandenburg, a state close to Berlin, with its capital Potsdam. A huge score but just behind the centre-left SPD. "AfD leaders blamed the media for their second-place finish, pointing in particular to what they regarded as skewed coverage by Germany’s powerful public broadcasters", writes POLITICO Europe. I was in Potsdam last week for the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium, the annual top gathering in Germany on journalism and democracy. Among the workshops I chose the one discussing a crucial dilemma: "journalism or activism?" How should journalists cover anti-democratic parties like the AfD, without compromising their professional norms of truth-seeking and independence? This is the same dilemma the press is facing in most democratic countries in a context characterized by a constant media bashing from extremist parties.

It was an interesting conference. Last week, I went to the #GoogleMarketingLive at the tech giant's new Bay View campus in Mountain View. 5,000 employees work here on a good 100,000 square meters, primarily on the ad business, Google's most important revenue stream. And thus on nothing less than the #internet of the future. There, AIs will soon be tracking users incessantly. Advertisers are delighted, data protectionists alarmed ... 💡 "We are all going through another transformative moment together today, perhaps the most transformative to date," said Google SVP Philipp Schindler on the big stage. "Of course I'm talking about the new #AI era." 💡 The "Marketing Live" takes place a week after the I/O developer conference, at which CEO Sundar Pichai presented the company's new achievements in AI. While I/O is the conference for the headlines, "Marketing Live" is for business. Google has invited hundreds of its closest customers: Advertising and creative agencies, large corporations and family businesses. All of them earn their money with and around Google's advertisements, which generated around 62 billion dollars for the tech giant last quarter. 💡 Now, Google wants to fundamentally transform the online advertising world. Three developments make this possible: 1. The end of cookies 2. AI-generated advertising is becoming omnipresent 3 AI predicts user behavior Full story in Handelsblatt including insights from Brendon Kraham, Karen Stocks, Sebastian Küpers, Daniel Ives and Nader Henein:

UN-POLLUTE will be part of the exhibition The Air We Share (Luft, Eine für alle), at Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden, Germany, Nov. 9, 2024 – Aug. 10, 2025. #TheAirWeShare #Air #LuftEinefüralle #Luft #UnPollute #ZlatkoCosic #DeutschesHygieneMuseum  https://lnkd.in/g6Sisx2a Invitation to hold your breath and take a deep breath Air is omnipresent and yet elusive. It is always in motion and connects living beings - across ecosystems and geological eras. We humans also live in and through the air: we breathe it in and out around 20,000 times a day. And yet we behave as if we are not dependent on it. Through our actions, we change the air and thus increasingly also our living conditions. The exhibition takes these changes as an opportunity to examine not only the physical properties of air but also its social impact - both locally and globally. Follow the movements of air through different ecosystems and geological eras and across national borders. At the beginning of the exhibition tour, an air archive brings together personal air and perceptions of air. Fog catchers, which are used to filter water out of the air in places with low precipitation, capture air movements and air phenomena for visitors in the exhibition. A giant air conditioning pipe tells of the attempts to bring the air under control. Numerous works of art and interactive stations are integrated into the exhibition, inviting visitors to discuss global environmental issues related to the state of the air. With an “emissions memory”, for example, the often abstract dimensions of CO2 emissions can be revealed.

How to lower CO2-Emissions of the Transportation Sector   „Innovation instead of instruments of torture against car users” is the title of my editorial on the German debate on CO2 emissions of the transportation sector. https://lnkd.in/ec8sGv7g For many weeks, the liberal German Transport Minister Volker Wissing has been criticized for not reaching the targets for lowering CO2-emissions by the transportation sector.   The Public German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) presented a report on “Getting the Transportation Sector on Course” (Report 59/2024) with suggestions for lowering the emissions of the transportation sector. These seem like a list of torture instruments for individual transport, car users and freight transport by lorry: Speed limits would be only a minor thing. What is asked for would be a tax called “Malus for combustion engines”, to be paid with the road tax of the first year. From 2025 onwards, for a simple Volkswagen Golf with a petrol engine of 150 horsepowers (110 kW), there would be an additional tax of 2760 Euro, from 2030 onwards a tax of 30.240 Euro, then mercifully reduced to half of the price of the car. On top, for all private cars, there is the request of a tax on every kilometer covered, initially 1,3 Eurocent, later more than 7 Eurocent per kilometer. Thus, individual transport should be cut by one quarter. Also freight transport should pay more, with tolls for all lorries and roads, which should be drastically increased.   The reason for these drastic measures should be the inability of the transport minister to increase the number of electric cars on the roads. But it is not his fault that there are not enough possibilities to charge cars at home or at work or that there is not enough green energy to charge the cars. This is the responsibility of the Green Minister for the Economy and Climate, Robert Habeck.   The general problem of German climate activists is that they want to make an example of Germany, forgetting the rest of the world. In Germany, in general, CO2-emissions have shrunk by 37 per cent from 1990 to 2022, in the EU by 27 per cent, while they have risen by 62 for the whole world, in China by 285 per cent. During the same period, the emissions of the German transportation sector have shrunk by 10 per cent, while they rose by 19 per cent in the EU, globally by 72 per cent.   Lowering the German contribution to the World CO2 emissions – 1,4 per cent in general and 0,27 per cent for the German transportation sector – will not save the climate. While German climate activists seem to desire the end of the local car industry, the opposite would be necessary: Innovations of the car industry, clever regulation, and openness of consumers for change would offer the chance for a contribution to lower global emissions.

Journalists like to focus on things that are not going well. And rightly so. But at the same time, it's also valuable to highlight positive examples and recognize those who contribute to improving the world. That's exactly what Handelsblatt is doing with our current "Zukunftsausgabe" ("Future Edition"). Sebastian Matthes came up with the idea for a special issue that focus on "places of the future" – on companies, pioneers and communities that show what can be done if we stop complaining and start building. One sector that I find especially fascinating is #biotech. Nowhere else does technology improve our lives so directly. The oldest biotech company of the world is Genentech in South San Francisco, so right on my doorstep. It was exciting to visit the Roche subsidiaries' labs, to talk to CEO Ashley Magargee, lab chief Lluc Mosteiro and many others... The two founders (see picture below) could not have been more different: Robert Swanson was a venture capitalist; Herbert Boyer was a biochemist. In 1973, he was the first to show that #enzymes can be used as a kind of "scissors" to cut out and replace #DNA fragments: gene therapy was born. In the following decades, Genentech changed medicine with new procedures. And it has found a way to remain #innovative even after almost 50 years and with over 12,000 employees. How? Take a look at #Handelsblatt! And read the other stories of the "Future Edition", curated by Christian Rickens, too! Link in the comments.

The Media Leadership Masterclass 2024 was organized by Journalismus Lab der Landesanstalt für Medien NRW and Media Lab Bayern, empowering  leaders in local and regional media organizations - and Better Leaders Lab was selected as the program partner delivering classes and coaching 💪. Key Course Highlights: ✅ Strategic Direction: The course is based on Michael Porter’s well-known strategy framework. It examined how companies adjust their strategies to thrive in a constantly evolving and competitive environment. Without strategy, there is no innovation, and without innovation, no transformation. ✅ Digital Transformation and Monetization: The media industry is undergoing significant disruption due to digital technologies. Using the latest Digital News Report, trends and changes in business models were analyzed. Various monetization models, such as advertising, subscriptions, and memberships, were discussed using current examples and best practices. ✅ Product Strategy and User-Centricity: Successful product development today must be clearly user-centered. The course covered the concept of product thinking, a strategic approach to creating products tailored specifically to the needs of particular target groups. This aspect is essential for the competitiveness of modern media companies. ✅ Leadership Competence: Modern leadership requires reflecting on one's leadership strengths. The Gallup Strengths Finder was used in the course to identify and build upon individual strengths. Participants discussed the importance of strengths-based leadership and why it is relevant in today's work environment. ✅ AI and the Media Industry: Another focus was the integration of artificial intelligence into the media industry. Strategic approaches to managing AI-driven changes were discussed, along with ethical and social considerations. ✅ Goal-Oriented Leadership: The course taught the application of the OKR method for setting goals and measuring success in teams and projects. Strategies for successful goal implementation and concrete methods were shared to optimize the performance of media organizations. 👉🏻 More information (in German): https://lnkd.in/d5EExvaY Thank you to everyone who was part of this extraordinary first cohort Sabine Eriksen Bianca Lütz-Holoch Christina Fischer Michael Koch Anne Krum Marcel Bohnensteffen Gudrun Bayer Lea Thies Veit Ellerbrock Christian Schwermer Dominic Grzbielok Alexander Winkens and our fantastic project leads, Hanna Jo vom Hofe and Pia Maria Lexa 🚀

While I agree that AfD is dangerous and goes against democratic and European values, I don't understand why we are so blind. In Brandenburg, we face a strong AfD with 27% of votes. More than a quarter of voters either support racist and anti-democratic views, or at least they don't care. You cannot forbid peoples’ views of life. If you forbid AfD, you still have 27% of voters who want people with a migration background to leave the country. We need a political system and education that takes those views seriously and starts changing people’s minds by positively impacting their lives. Stop taking the easy way out. It didn't work with NPD and won't work with AfD. And the next is growing rapidly, the BSW.
