Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing appears largely neutral. The summaries highlight both challenges and positive aspects of the journalists' work, presenting a balanced picture of their experiences. The use of words like "roemruchte" (illustrious/famous) might subtly favor a positive framing but this is mitigated by also including descriptions of dangerous and challenging situations.
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral and descriptive. While terms like "roemruchte" (illustrious/famous) and "disco" (great/exciting) are used, they don't significantly skew the overall tone. The summaries successfully avoid overly emotional or charged language.
Sustainable Development Goals
The podcast discusses the work of journalists in conflict zones and during sensitive events like trials for serious crimes. Journalists reporting on such events contribute to public awareness, accountability, and potentially contribute to justice and strong institutions. The reporting itself may not directly impact the legal process but keeps the public informed, a crucial element of a well-functioning justice system.
