A mattress, a desk, a chair and some clothes. Is that really enough to live a happy life? For some people, the so-called Minimalists, it is! They only need a few chosen things in their lives, and even widen this concept to food and relationships.
Human stupidity is infinite. Almost weekly, we hear news about animals which died in vain because of ‘accidents’ whilst in human interaction.Shooting selfies with wild animals is the new shooting trophies - but not less dangerous for the animals (and humans too).
The tale of projectcensored.org
I recently stumbled across a website called projectcensored.org . It’s slogan is “The news that didn’t make the news”. And by the motto ‘what you see is what you get’ they give you news that didn’t make the cut…
I guess by now everyone has seen at least one video, a picture or a phrase regarding Jogi Löw and what he does with his hands. At this point there is no comment needed about how disgusting and unappropriate his behaviour in front of the cameras is, we all know that.
I am a black, mother of four young beautiful children, growing up in an outskirt of a middle-sized city in Germany. I came here WILLINGLY 18yrs ago because I fell in love with a lovely, young German man, whom I met in Switzerland. So I understand and resonate VERY well with your views
I was already quite interested in news and news criticism before this semester’s seminar named “Inside the News Media”. I was regularly looking for the newest updates of a bunch of newspapers on facebook, watching…

Being able to write about uni topics in a more or less non-formal way and especially publishing my thoughts online for…

Our seminar indeed made me think about my consume of and the behaviour with News Media. To be honest, I did not change very much about it, but at least I am more conscious of it. I guess I am still kind of ignorant when it comes to certain topics, but I realized that this is the way I want it to be. I just…
Reflections ………
As a news junkie, this class was no surprise for me as it confirms my appetite all the more for news item. Has my opinion of the news changed ? I would say NO and a tiny wee YES! I have always been critical of the news, which is why it is important for me to watch the same news content from different…
