Media Mapping and Dealing with the Past

Getoarbë Mulliqi-Bojaj, Abit Hoxha, Milan Spirovski

forum ZFD Kosovo & North Macedonia (2023), 23 pp.

"Despite their differences, both Kosovo and North Macedonia have shared challenges with regards to reporting about the past. Problems with violence and trust building in the communities is a field of reporting that does not often go beyond borders of ethnicity and political landscape. Reaching acros ... s the ethnic lines and political division, puts journalists in a dichotomous role between reporting on own community and revealing the truth which jeopardizes the true nature of journalism and the use of objective methodology in choosing sources. This media landscape report for Kosovo and North Macedonia also includes an overview of the self-perception of role of journalists in the society as it pertains to dealing with the past. Journalists stand in the center of journalistic concepts of professional ideology of independence, neutral reporting, and eye-witness accounting in one hand and their duty to accompany nation building processes, deal with crimes, scrutinize former officials of prior political structure and keep current political leaders accountable. This puts journalists in a particular position of being public defenders of the state, nation, and society building but also of development in post-conflict which is part of a wider political agenda. Hence, media actors are almost exclusively part of the political landscape. They argue that media and politics go hand in hand, both in Kosovo and North Macedonia. This, in itself, is challenging. Such interdependence of politics and media make is difficult for media to keep political actors accountable and jeopardizes the role of media in society. The media landscape in Kosovo and North Macedonia incorporates both expert views and empirical research findings that can help structural interventions to continue enhancing the professionalism of journalists with regards to making ethical choices in reporting on dealing with the past. It also guides them to care more about sensitive cases where privacy, the rights of families and victims, and their dignity take the spotlight while leaving sensationalist and celebritization of news reporting for other news beats. Arguing for a bottom-up and conflict-sensitive reporting in dealing with the past, Kosovo and North Macedonian journalists will build themselves pathways of dealing with the past through content that cares about the about truth and dignity while respecting human rights and the rights of victims of conflicts. This enables peace and reconciliation among communities serving the general interests of the people first." (About the project, page 7) more

Education Agenda: NS-Injustice

Sophie Ziegler, Katrin Kowark, Hanna Komornitzyk, Emilie Buchheister (eds.)

Berlin: Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ) (2023), 44 pp.

"The Education Agenda NS-Injustice started in autumn 2021 with two certainties: Firstly, the survivors are passing away; there are few chances today to meet eyewitnesses who can tell us first-hand about the atrocities committed by the National Socialists. Secondly, we are increasingly entering conte ... xts in which boundaries between fiction and fact are blurred. Under these conditions, we are dependent on new ways of learning and innovative forms of conveyance in our critical examination of National Socialist injustice and in historical-political educational work. But what are these innovative forms of conveyance? Certainly they are more than mere apps and VR glasses. Digitality is an important factor, but by no means the only one. That is why our projects also work in an analog and participatory way: whether through a play, a research project or the curation of an exhibition. By involving people with different biographies, we strengthen knowledge about the history of National Socialism and its continuing effects in the here and now. Victim-centered, diversity-sensitive, and interdisciplinary: these are other criteria that make the projects of the Education Agenda NS-Injustice so special. Our MEMO Youth Study, published in spring 2023, clearly shows that young people are aware of current societal challenges. They are interested in Nationalist Socialist history and see points of reference to today’s social issues and conflicts. But with the passage of time, knowledge about Nationalist Socialist history and the Holocaust is declining. At the same time, a large number of young people want to participate in educational offerings on Nationalist Socialist history — to acquire knowledge, to visit historical sites, and to understand the links between past and present. The EVZ Foundation and its funded projects are committed to this mission — also and especially with the Education Agenda NS-Injustice, which focuses on young, working people, and those interested in history. For today, educational biographies do not end with a high school or college degree. One example of ongoing education is the initiative of the EVZ Foundation “Informed, Courageous, Committed!” This three-fold objective not only describes the ingredients for effective educational work; it also stands for a project of the Education Agenda NS-Injustice that commences where thousands of people meet every day: the workplace. A multimedia blended learning format with both classroom and e-learning trains employees of German companies, whether apprentices or managers, to deal sensitively with antisemitism and imparts intervention skills. For more than two years now, the projects of this multidimensional funding program have been in full swing. In this first issue, we are pleased to present groundbreaking projects and current discourses on the culture of remembrance and education about National Socialist injustice." (Welcome, page 4) more
