The media battle over Lützerath
Lützerath has become a symbol for the fight of climate activists – also with the help of media reports. In this issue of our media podcast, we talk about the question of how much staging there was in Lützi.

The protests in Lützerath were also a media spectacle. Every movement of the activists, but also every movement of the police, was registered and disseminated by the media. Seen in this way, the protest and the reaction to the protest is always to be understood as a staging – regardless of one’s position on the actions themselves. And the media just can’t not report.
That’s why we talk about Lützerath and the media in this edition of our podcast “Die Medien-Woche”. And we talk about talker Anne Will’s show on the topic – and Will’s announced farewell on Sunday at the end of the year. What is her balance sheet – and who could follow her?
We also read the parting words of Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht, who, after numerous mishaps, insisted on citing the “media focus” on her as the reason for her resignation. What to think of it now?
Last but not least, we pay tribute to the “pop titan” Dieter Bohlen, who dominates the 20th and supposedly final season of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” as head of the jury. RTL brought Bohlen back after the broadcaster had previously dumped him because they wanted to give themselves a more family-friendly look. But “DSDS” without planks didn’t work. What the RTL bosses could have guessed.
