Report on conservative and right wing Europe 20th March, 2021 GERMANY 1. jungefreiheit.de (translated, original by jungefreiheit.de, 18.03.2021) "New German media makers" Migrant organization calls for more “diversity” among journalists media BERLIN. The migrant organization “New German Media Makers” (NdM) has reiterated its demand that editorial offices should become “more diverse”. To this end, the association presented a “Diversity Guide” on Wednesday under the title “How German Media Create More Diversity”. According to excerpts on the NdM website, it says, among other things: “German society has changed, it has become more colorful. That should be reflected in the reporting. ”The manual explains which terms journalists should and should not use in which context. 2 When reporting on criminal offenses, “the prejudice still prevails that refugees or people with an international history are more likely to commit criminal offenses than biographically Germans and that their origin is causally related to it”. Collect "diversity data" and introduce "soft quotas" Especially now, when the media are losing sales, there is a crisis of confidence and more competition, “diversity” is important. "More diversity brings new target groups, new customers and, above all, better, more successful journalism." The more “diverse” editorial offices are, the more it is possible “to take up issues of society without prejudice”, the published excerpts continue to say. “And just as we can no longer imagine a purely male editorial office today, we should also no longer be able to imagine white editorial offices. Precisely because of the special constitutional mandate of the media, the question of fair access and the representation of all population groups in journalism is also a question of democracy.

There were scarcely any leaks in advance about the structure of the new Commission and the allocation of dossiers which indicates that the new Commission President-elect will run a very tight ship. All the Commission candidates will need approval from the European Parliament in formal hearings before they can take up their posts on 1 November. Von der Leyen herself won confirmation in July and the Spanish Commissioner Josep Borrell had already been confirmed as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Policy and Security Policy.

  • The New European Commission – What Happens Next?
    THE NEW EUROPEAN COMMISSION – WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The new European Commission is taking shape, following last week’s announcement of the full line-up of new Commissioners and their portfolios. President-elect Ursula von der Leyen has achieved the gender parity she sought, with 13 of the 27 Commission posts taken by women. The portfolios have been carefully allocated, taking into account the previous experience of the nominees, as well as the size and relative influence of each Member State. The Commissioners-designate will now be vetted by the European Parliament Committees before a plenary vote on the full college of Commissioners next month. The hearings are an opportunity for MEPs to win political points and media attention. Given the frustration over the rejection of the Spitzenkandidat process, we can expect the Parliament to assert itself during the vetting process through threatening to withhold its approval from poorly performing nominees. As von der Leyen will be eager to ensure a straightforward vote in plenary, she is likely to listen seriously to the Parliament’s concerns. Below we set out what to expect from the hearing process and key dates ahead of the new Commission taking office on 1 November. TIMELINE: 30 SEPT - 8 OCT Hearings of Commissioners-designate. 19 SEPTEMBER October 2: Didier Reynders (Justice) and 23 OCTOBER 1 NOVEMBER Decision on which Committee Sylvie Goulard (Internal Market); European Parliament plenary New Commission takes office. will interrogate each nominee; October 3: Margaritis Schinas (VP - vote on the full College of European way of life); October 8: Margrethe Committees issue written questions Vestager (VP – tech and digital), Valdis Commissioners.
