It's such a thing with the political attitudes of journalists.
Which parties they vote for - they shouldn't be party members - is one thing.
Whether and how this political preference flows into their work is another matter.
Political attitudes are inevitably incorporated into comments - but what about supposedly objective-neutral contributions, the selection of interlocutors or perspectives?
For the media researcher Christian Hoffmann, professor of communication management in Leipzig, the thesis that journalists in Germany are on average slightly left of center is nothing new.
This has been proven several times in studies.
The journalistic “output” provided by the media, however, has not yet been very well researched.
Hoffmann is convinced that the input from journalists also has an impact on their work, but intensive content analyzes are required.

Hoffmann sees evidence of his assumption, for example, in the fact that there are more high-quality journalistic offers for left-of-center citizens on the German media market than for citizens who are politically more right-of-center.
It is therefore desirable if a greater “viewpoint diversity” can be created on the media market, but also within editorial offices, that is, a greater variety of perspectives.
In this edition of the podcast “Die Medien-Woche” Christian Hoffmann talks about his research and the question of how left German journalism is.
In addition, in this issue of “Media Week” we talk about the interview Oprah Winfrey conducted with Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry.
And we think about why RTL and "Pop-Titan" Dieter Bohlen will go their separate ways in the future.
