#1: Florian Klenk über Demokratie, die Linke in Österreich und autoritäre Medienpolitik (1/2)

Editor's Note: A false statement was removed from the original video, and the episode has been re-uploaded to the channel. What holds our democracy together, and what threatens to shake it? In the first episode of STREITWERT, Stephan Zöchling speaks with Florian Klenk, editor-in-chief of the Falter newspaper, about journalism, power, political responsibility, and the increasing polarization in Austria. Klenk is considered one of the country's most prominent—and controversial—journalists. For some, he is an inconvenient whistleblower; for others, a provocateur. This conversation isn't about headlines, but about fundamental principles. This episode is the first part of a two-part discussion about democratic rules, the role of the state, attacks on independent media, journalistic responsibility, and the fine line between holding power accountable and eroding trust in politics and the media. STREITWERT is the podcast about topics that are too important not to debate: democracy, social cohesion, and economic common sense. For all those who value Austria too much to leave to the extremists.
