Vice and Buzzfeed rely on social media, now they’re at the end – but what about funk, the social media program from ARD and ZDF?
Would that be a start for one Wireless-Reportage, I, the reporter, Philipp Bovermann, with short-shaven hair, would stand in front of a camera and first tell me about myself. How I felt about researching this story. What I’ve heard about the subject: that in the young digital offerings of ARD and ZFD, wearers of hipster glasses trundled through German cities to take part in vulva workshops, while other topics were left behind, “voyeurism instead of journalism” (RND), public service mandate ? lol. “Is social journalism on Youtube and Instagram real journalism?” I would ask. “Is it up-to-date, and” – eyebrows raised – “for how much longer?”.
