Germany’s best-known virologist Christian Drosten, together with his colleague Sandra Ciesek, says goodbye to the “Coronavirus Update”, the NDR podcast in which the scientists informed about the development of the pandemic. Episode 113 was called “So long” – see you then.

The Ethics Council has just published a kind of inventory of how the corona pandemic is being dealt with. It also notes that there was a lack of a critical examination of the measures in the mass media, especially in the early days. And what does Drosten say, who has also practiced as a media critic in the meantime? We heard the last episode of the podcast.

In this issue of “Media Week” we also talk about the new development in the Gil Ofarim case – the Leipzig public prosecutor’s office has filed a complaint with the district court on suspicion of defamation and false suspicion against the singer. Ofarim had said that he had been insulted anti-Semitically in a Leipzig hotel. The media reported extensively on the case.

And in this edition of our media podcast, we also deal with the war in Ukraine. Rarely has military strategy been in such high demand in editorial offices as it has been in recent weeks. The audience learns a great deal about the war, but the lack of knowledge about elementary issues is just as great.
