50 years celebrations of public media: DEUTSCHLANDFUNK - The Place of the Political in a Digital Mediaworld

German Radio celebrates 50th anniverary, teaming up with the bpb soon celebrating its 60th. So a "seasoned" exercise with lots of "expertiose" around and with a very timely theme !! - The Place of the Political in a Digital Mediaworld

But, too bad, heavy storm over Germany and no way to get this morning early 6+ hours to Cologne. Instead I hope to get most out of the Podcasts and Radio deliveries, check the tweets, and instead of F2F link to some people later. So please excuse my "2nd hand reporting" this time - but I feel that not only the title is soo exciting, but the topic as this was dear to me already long ago, so here a little "expertise" to check from where I am speaking: and some details at [More] below:

I could be weeping... Seeing it from today I feel: Nobody was in Charge (and typically is for larger topics), too few followed up and developed further what was there before the Internet so a lot was lost from ((not BC) but before BI (Before the Internet) so much was done in the mid 90ies from scratch, without "roots and wings" in mind, without a lot of available Sources, Concepts and Directions....!
So who is in charge now !? The People? in a Demosophia? or at Rio 20 ??
So can we respond to something we can not see or tough? Our Senses and reasoning is based on the tangible and "obvious", so what do we do with distant issues, issues which are intangible, virtual, or only distant so we can not check and compare with our "eperience"? Political Sciences call it the Problem of the levels or magnitudes, but they also have problems with other cultures, times, domains, sectors, ... So what can we do if we do not want to ignore what is political for us a local or global "community"? I can only invite to check: "GLOCAL", see what we worked on in the Konrad Lorenz Institute Konrad Lorenz Institute, or this Interview for EuropesWorld?

The matter of today is very close to me (so excuse emotions), not only the subject from yesterday about mindsets and mental models or the Internet and Society Institute so I felt alerted and make an extra day/night to cover the podcasts and TWITTER worlds as well. What I heard in the podium discussions so far was that much is "fiddling or crying in the dark" with too little Backgrounds, Ideas, Visions, Means and Approaches already there.....
At the podium they urge for example for a sorting by "relevance" but which cultures and receivers relevance?, who & where in space and time !?? They speak about the experienced living world want to arrange and classify (EIN-ORDNEN) and allot and assign (ZU-ORDNEN) without valid and transparent (embodied/concrete) order or schema ORDNUNG ! Speak PlastikWords, intangible, exchangeable, meaningless - lots of empty words without concrete ways, tools and ideas ! They speak about setting meaning - and I only think about the entry about Robert Jungks for NEW ENCYCLOPEDISTs and or DROPPING KNOWLEDGE "experiences" we had to make here in Berlin... Check it out in the links above and come back.

Chinas Mikroblogger

Das Internet ist zwar schon seit Jahren eine wichtige Plattform für chinesische Regierungskritiker - doch erst seitdem Mikrobloggs wie Weibo zu einem Massenphänomen geworden sind, hat es massiv an Einfluss gewonnen. Doch auch die Regierung nutzt die Blogs inzwischen gezielt für ihre Zwecke.
