The quip “Socialism, that means oysters for everyone” comes from Daniel Cohn-Bendit. This week, in turn, came the realization that the sentence also applies to German journalism in a way. At least if you don’t understand oysters in the sense of an obscenely large tub full of slurpable mussels. But as a substantive verb to describe a social media phenomenon. The fact that the great writer Paul Auster died this week was also found out indirectly through various self-presentation channels, on which almost all journalists in the country not only linked obituaries, but also aggressively circulated photos: Me and Paul Auster during the interview , me and Paul Auster in the car, me and Paul Auster on my bookshelf.
