'The public sphere’ with Julia Reuschenbach

In the first episode of this season, re:publicast host Jonas Ross talks to political scientist and #rp26 speaker Julia Reuschenbach about how public opinion is formed in Germany, who shapes it, and why media and journalism play such a crucial – yet increasingly challenging – role in this process. The discussion centres on the fine line between criticising those in power and taking a constructive approach – and on what would actually happen if all opinion polls were suspended for half a year.
