Rudolf Augstein (1923 - 2002) was a brilliant journalist and also highly successful as the publisher of Der Spiegel. The guiding principle of his journalistic work, "Saying what is," reads today like a call for consistent objectivity. However, Augstein was always a strong commentator as well. How can this statement be understood today and in the future? How should media and reporting be structured to help preserve a free society? Should journalism engage against war and climate change? If so, how? In this anthology, prominent journalists and scholars express their views. Contributors include Sonia Mikich, Nicole Diekmann, Melanie Amann, Armin Wolf, Christian Stöcker, Albrecht von Lucke, and many others.
