Chancellor and Media: Chef and Waiter
Chancellor and Media: Chef and Waiter
On the pages of the Herbert-Quandt-Stiftung, Bodo Hombach - in what is easily one of the best articles available about the role of journalists in the modern world - presents us with his superb article entitled "Media as the agent and instrument of politics" (Medien als Akteur und Instrument der Politik), Gedanken zur Zukunft 11 (Thoughts on the Future), Berlin, 27. November 2003).
In addition to bringing many brilliant insights on journalism, he points out that the German Chancellor compared his role to the media as that of a chef to a waiter - which reveals a true glimpse about how Schroeder views the world and his role in it.
Hombach quotes Kurt Tucholsky in the following observation:
"The major writer Kurt Tucholsky claimed: 'You don't have to bribe a journalist, you just have to give him an invitation, treat him like someone with power'."
