Now visible: full text decisions of the German press council

A big step for transparency in the German media landscape! The German press council has now introduced a groundbreaking innovation, which all makes you listen: From now on, the decisions of this important institute can be viewed in full text. From now on, anyone who wants to complain the resolutions that were submitted from 2024 can read in full length on the official website of the press council.

"We want to make our work more accessible to the general public," explains Manfred Protze, the spokesman for the press council, full of conviction. This is a huge step that not only gives people access to the decisions, but also enables a deep insight into the processes and considerations of the committees.

full text decisions: A look behind the scenes

The previous summaries belong to the past! With the new full text decisions, citizens and journalists receive a detailed insight into all important aspects of the symptoms: from the statements of the editorial offices concerned to the considerable considerations of the complaint committees. This information is not only interesting, they are also important for anyone who wants to understand the quality and integrity of journalism in Germany.

Another aspect of publication is the protection of the privacy of those involved. Even if the decision -making texts are now published, they remain anonymous to maintain confidentiality. It is a balancing act between transparency and the protection of individuals, which is masterfully mastered here. From now on, users can view the decisions on the press council's website - but be careful: only the cases with the new file number, i.e. from 2024, can be viewed in the full text!
