Schon der beste Kommentar bei Birrers Tagi-Kommentar zur Halbierungsinitiative.

The SRG is saved—for now The halving initiative has failed, and public broadcasting has been saved. But the battle is already moving into the next round.

Yesterday, Switzerland voted to keep its strong public broadcasting. But the far-right efforts to destroy it continues.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

The Lost Paul McCartney Interview In 2012, I had the opportunity to interview Paul McCartney on the phone. When I formatted my hard drive a few years later, I thought I lost the recording forever. Until today.

For more than 10 years, our editor thought to have lost the recording of his Paul McCartney interview forever.

Today, it turned up again.

Heute hingegen… 🎉

So wie es Monsen durch die Netze geschnetzelt hat, kann das wohl leider passieren.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Halbierungsinitiative: Deshalb leisten Journalist:innen keinen Widerstand Die Halbierungsinitiative würde das gesamte Mediensystem schwächen. Während sich Politik, Verbände und Initianten zur Halbierungsinitiative äussern, schweigt eine Gruppe: die Journalist:innen selbst.

Journalist:innen bei der #SRG dürfen nichts sagen, Journalist:innen bei den Medienkonzernen – jetzt oder potenziell – wollen nichts sagen … 🙄
