The »Top Ten Forgotten News of 2023«: Topics That Have Been Neglected by the Media

Journalism Research, volume 6, issue 1 (2023), pp. 111-115
"Every year, the NGO »Initiative Nachrichtenaufklärung« (INA) partners with the Deutschlandfunk editorial office to present a list of ten topics that have been neglected by the media. The objective is to make journalists aware of gaps in media coverage. For journalists, picking up such topics might even be an opportunity to land an exclusive scoop. Since major issues, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine have been dominating news coverage for some time now, it is more important than ever to seek out »forgotten news«."
