Left-Green opinion power

Julia Ruhs was always convinced that she held perfectly normal opinions – until she became a journalist. As a trainee at ARD, she spoke out against gender-neutral language and later, in a "Tagesthemen" commentary, warned against illegal immigration. She addressed topics that concern many people in the country factually and thoughtfully. But suddenly, she was an outsider in her profession. The reaction was a left-wing "shitstorm," unfortunately a normality nowadays.

Political journalist Julia Ruhs is a reporter for Bayerischer Rundfunk and a columnist for Focus Online. This book is her plea for an open debate culture, in which critical and uncomfortable opinions must also be heard. Especially as a journalist, she questions the prevailing zeitgeist, which apparently only allows one direction. And she clarifies why some opinions are loud and others are quiet, why conservatives are rare in journalism, why journalists consider themselves particularly courageous, yet still prefer to go with the flow. And she documents how a profession that preaches neutrality increasingly polarizes.
