This is a personal book, the workshop report of a long-time journalist who shares her experiences, mistakes, and doubts. Charlotte Wiedemann takes her readers on a challenging journey through cultures and continents, from Iran to Africa to New Guinea, while providing a behind-the-scenes look at the work of a foreign correspondent. How is our worldview formed? What can journalists truly understand about the "foreign," the "other"? And how accurate is their portrayal of reality? The attempt to write without a Eurocentric perspective: This is the quest for a view of the world that frees itself from the confines of Eurocentrism. It is a plea for a journalism of respect—respect also for the media user, who is more dulled than enlightened by the daily onslaught of contextless news.
