Politics & we: RBB starts the first political Twitch format - information about broadcast date and content
On January 30th, the Bundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) starts the first political talk format on Twitch with "Politics & We-The Community Talk". This format should enable users to go into direct exchange with politically responsible persons and to discuss current topics with them. The first show is entitled "Overloaded general practitioners: How do I get an appointment?" In this context, moderator Franziska Hoppen would like to discuss what should change with the guests and the community to improve the situation. The special thing about the format is that the community can ask and comment on the chat, or can switch on live via video and thus actively participate in the discussion.
The hosts of these streams are Franziska Hoppen, Pune Djalilevand and Florian Prokop. They ensure that people can get involved, order questions and answers journalistically and check. In order to map the diversity of the debate and to talk to different perspectives with each other, those responsible from politics, those affected and experts are invited.
In Berlin, too, there is great interest in political discourse, especially among younger people. The possibility of being able to participate directly in discussions is an important factor. Twitch as a digital platform for live streaming and interaction offers an ideal platform for political discussion format such as "politics & we". With the possibility of exchanging directly with the community, the RBB can respond to the interests and concerns of the citizens in Berlin and the surrounding area.
In the current program reform of the RBB, according to RBB editor-in-chief David Biesinger, part of a new era of public service broadcaster is part of dealing with current sociopolitical topics.
The three hosts of the format, Franziska Hoppen, Pune Djalilevand and Florian Prokop, bring diverse experiences from journalism and moderation. This variety also reflects the range of discussions that are to be conducted in the new format.
The introduction of "Politics & We" on Twitch is an important step of the RBB to step into dialogue with the younger target group and to bring the political discussion on an innovative platform.
