The month of fasting for Muslims is an important part of the Islamic calendar and affects many millions of people around the world every year, including in Germany. How does the media portray this in this country? In addition, how do they generally report on Islam and Muslims? SZ journalist Nils Minkmar talks about this in the current episode of “quoted. der medienpodcast”.
Guest: Fabian Goldmann, Islamic scholar, journalist and media critic, blog operator “Shantal and Sharia”. For a long time he has been concerned with the question of how Islam is portrayed on television, radio, newspapers and online formats. How does Muslim life take place in the German media? Where do clichés and stereotypes obstruct an appropriate representation? What examples of an unprejudiced, differentiated approach are there?
“quoted. the media podcast” is a cooperation between the Civis Media Foundation for Integration and Cultural Diversity in Europe and the Süddeutsche Zeitung, funded by the Mercator Foundation.
