Debate: Merkel or Schulz – who will win?

 euro|topics

SPD chancellor candidate Martin Schulz has called Germany’s Agenda 2010 reforms into question: his campaign will focus on corrections to the social reforms introduced under the SPD-Green Party government between 2003 to 2005. Among other things Schulz plans to extend unemployment benefits. Can he beat Chancellor Merkel with this strategy? And what role will refugee policy play in the campaigning?

The Martin Schulz bounce

 Jon Worth by Jon  /

What is going on in German politics, just 7 months ahead of the 24th September Bundestag election? How can a party, the SPD – that was consistently 10 points behind the CDU in the polls – suddenly be running neck and neck with Angela Merkel’s party? This graph from Wikipedia maps the state of the polls:

The sharp upturn in support for the SPD of course comes after it was announced on 24th January that Sigmar Gabriel, the SPD’s long-term leader, would not run as the party’s Spitzenkandidat in the September election, and that Martin Schulz should run instead. But what is going on here, and what is actually due to Schulz and what is due to other factors in German politics?

EU- Turkey Summit- Turkey [of course] Makes [more] Demands

http://ift.tt/1nrsPET

EU to lift visa regime by June, double financial aid to Turkey: Draft agreement

Turkey and the European Union apparently reach a deal on refugees under which Ankara will receive 3 billion more euros in aid

Resettling Syrians, aid and visa changes on table at EU-Turkey migration summit

World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk by Jennifer Rankin in Brussels

Draft of summit conclusions says EU ready to double aid to €6bn, as leaders discuss plan to resettle one Syrian refugee in Europe for every Syrian returned to Turkey from Greek islands

A proposal to exchange Syrian refugees has been debated at an emergency EU-Turkey summit in Brussels, as Ankara demanded an extra €3bn to help manage Europe’s migration crisis.

Erdogan critical of EU handling of migrant crisis – video

 World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk

Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan criticises the European Union for its handling of the migrant and refugee crisis on Monday. The Turkish head of state said he hoped Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu would return from the meeting in Brussels with three billion euros in aid, promised to Turkey to tackle the refugee emergency

 

Refugee crisis requires a humanitarian response | Letters

World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk

We have been teaching a university short course on “life stories” in the Calais “Jungle”. We have not found the “economic migrants” of whom French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve speaks. Students have had traumatic experiences far exceeding those defining a “refugee”. Fluent and educated in English, they want to use those skills. Many have relatives in the UK; some are minors. A number worked for UK or US forces and were consequently attacked.

Plan to Slow Flow of Refugees to Europe Stalls After Turkey Makes Demands

NYT > Turkey by By JAMES KANTER

Turkish leaders asked for more money to deal with the millions of Syrian refugees and sought progress on their effort to join the European Union.

One in, one out – the EU’s simplistic answer to the refugee crisis

World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk by Patrick Kingsley Migration correspondent

The proposal that Europe will resettle every Syrian Turkey allows in from Greece is morally and legally complex

One in, one out. That was the unexpected compromise occupying EU and Turkish leaders in Brussels as they sought a means of managing Europe’s refugee crisis.

The Guardian view on the EU-Turkey migration summit: human values on the line | Editorial

 World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk

A lot was hanging on the Brussels summit, both for the EU and for Turkey. In the end, though, the important judgment will be on how it deals with suffering human beingsThere has been no more important European Union summit for years than the one that took place in Brussels on Monday on the migration crisis. Coping properly with the refugees who streamed into Europe in 2015 remains unfinished business. But preventing 2016 turning into a second, and possibly bigger, version of 2015 is now at least as pressing. By comparison, Britain’s arguments with the EU are second-order problems at best.

The German chancellor can save her open-door policy, but she’ll have to spend billions on a pay-offLast summer Angela Merkel swung open her country’s gates to the largest migration since the war. By year’s end, 1.1 million people had streamed into Germany from the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans: in January it was another 100,000.

Can a Turkey sliding into despotism and censorship still join the EU? The answer must be no | Paul Mason

 World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk by Paul Mason

The sight of Europe’s leaders kowtowing to the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was sickening

It is waging war on an ethnic minority, its riot police just stormed the offices of a major newspaper, its secret service faces allegations of arming Isis, its military shot down a Russian bomber – and yet Turkey wants to join the European Union. The country’s swift descent into despotism poses yet another existential problem for the west.

Turkey made an application to join the EU in 1987 but its progress has been met with conflict within the body

Turkey faces criticism on press freedom at EU summit

Turkey has faced criticism from EU officials and politicians over the seizure of the Zaman media group at a Brussels summit as part of efforts to implement a joint action plan on illegal migrants, while critics accuse the EU of turning a blind eye to Turkey’s worsening press record to procure its support in curbing the flow of migrants

The Guardian view on the Turkish crackdown on the media: unjustified and undemocratic | Editorial

 World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk

The press in Turkey is under attack from a government that can’t cope with criticismTurkey is a country at the mercy of one man’s bad temper. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s response to any challenge or criticism has long been combative, but it is becoming ever more excessive and vindictive. The latest victim of his anger is the country’s biggest-selling newspaper, Zaman, which wastaken over by the authorities last week virtually at gunpoint.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has held a six-hour meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and EU term president Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in Brussels, ahead of a March 7 summit to implement a joint action plan on illegal migrants

Erdoğan is a problematic partner but EU needs Turkey’s help

World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk by Simon Tisdall

Takeover of opposition newspaper was Erdoğan giving Brussels the finger on eve of summit, and other issues have gone largely unchallenged too

Europe’s Faustian pact with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to curtail migration into the EU may carry a devilishly high price tag. Turkey’s authoritarian president has proved an unreliable and problematic partner since the Syrian crisis erupted five years ago. But the EU’s urgent need for his help currently outweighs its deep misgivings. As Faust discovered, the reckoning comes later.

Donald Tusk’s migration magic trick undermined by flawed logic

World news: Turkey | guardian.co.uk by Patrick Kingsley Migration correspondent

Turkey’s compliance is not a foregone conclusion, and it is unlikely that the Balkans can be sealed off from Greece

“With that,” said Donald Tusk, president of the European council, with all the confidence of a magician at a circus, “we will close the western Balkans route.” It is a hubristic claim – but one that nevertheless reflects the new hardline agenda that much of Europe’s top brass hopes to push through during the migration summit between European and Turkish leaders.

Journalism agenda: “How to find breaking news on Twitter…”How can journalists use Whatsapp for newsgathering

http://ift.tt/21RPQUH

How to find breaking news on Twitter

firstdraftnews.com by Alastair Reid

By its very nature, breaking news happens unexpectedly. Simply waiting for something to start trending on Twitter is not an option for journalists – you’ll have to actively seek it out.

The most important rule is to switch perspectives with the eyewitness and ask yourself, “What would I tweet if I were an eyewitness to an accident or disaster?”

WhatsApp at 1 billion: How can journalists use the chat app for newsgathering?

 firstdraftnews.com by First Draft

As of early February, WhatsApp is in the pockets of over one billion people worldwide – one in seven of every man, woman and child on the planet.

The messaging app’s potential as a broadcast platform was quickly seized upon by news organisations eager to tap into the user base, whether to deliver top stories and traffic news to readers on their commute, give an audience updates to an ongoing story, or act as a platform for public service announcements in times of national crisis.

How The Washington Post built its tool to “re-engage” the attention of distracted readers on mobile

Nieman Journalism Lab by Shan Wang

The Washington Post is trying to identify reader boredom and recapture distracted readers by directing them to other Post stories they might find more interesting.

Its new Re-Engage feature, currently for mobile web, observes how long a reader remains completely idle on a story page or how quickly a reader begins swiping the screen to scroll to the bottom of a story, and then offers a small pop-up suggesting other Post stories.

The who, what, when, where, and why of news products for the future

Nieman Journalism Lab by Shan Wang

“How many people are still seeking clarification about what all this ‘product’ talk is?” Heather Chaplin, director of the Journalism + Design program at the New School, asked the crowd gathered last night to hear BuzzFeed’s Stacy-Marie Ishmael, The Guardian’s Aron Pilhofer, and Vox Media’s Trei Brundrett tackle that very question.

So what is “product” in the news context, and what do product managers do exactly? Ishmael offered one useful way to think about it:

Newsonomics: The financialization of news is dimming the lights of the local press

 Nieman Journalism Lab by Ken Doctor

There’s a nice scene in Hail, Caesar!, the Coen brothers’ latest movie, in which one Hollywood character astutely observes: “We’re not talking about money — we’re talking about economics.”

Indeed. This year’s crazy-making U.S. presidential election further illuminates and blurs that divide. Many of my fellow Americans buy into the twin “we’re being ripped off” sentiments of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The Big Shortonly animates the same emotions. There’s a relationship between the national anti-financial movements we’re seeing and what’s going on with our local newspapers.

Breaking news, not breaking people: News outlets need to cooperate on vicarious trauma

firstdraftnews.com by Eyewitness Media Hub  /

News is traumatic. When there are enough smartphones and social media accounts for everyone on the planet, pictures of newsworthy images spread fast – posted to YouTube, to Twitter, to Facebook, Instagram and more. Footage of air strikes, war crimes, protests, plane crashes, police shootings, bombings and massacres need to be verified and filtered by journalists before they reach the public. This can affect journalists in different ways.

The majority of the many questions we received when we launched our research report highlighting the issue of vicarious trauma in newsrooms asked  “what can I do about it?”, “how do I make sure I look after myself?”. These are good questions. It pushed us to write tips on this site that emerged from the research. We listed some of the most common coping mechanisms we encountered. We hope they have been useful for social media journalists who view distressing eyewitness media in their work.

Nieman Journalism Lab by Madeline Welsh

It was a dramatic night at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. CJ, a three-year-old German shorthaired pointer, pulled off an upset to steal Best in Show from Rumor, a German shepherd and the presumed heir apparent to the title.

And that was just on stage. Bryan Armen Graham, deputy sports editor of The Guardian U.S., was there in the benching area below the stage, where hebroadcast a pre-show on Periscope and Facebook Live for viewers at home. His reports showed a backstage area packed with hundreds of dogs, dog aficionados, dog handlers, and owners, plus a surprising amount of pizza.

Another year, another Warren Buffett shareholder letter without much mention of his newspapers

Nieman Journalism Lab by Joshua Benton

If capitalism ever gets its own American national holiday (and Black Friday is for some reason unavailable), let me suggest a late February date, to coincide with the annual release of Warren Buffett’s letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. The Nebraska billionaire each year writes about the performance of Berkshire’s various companies, yes, but also wraps in astute observations about the broader economy, politics, and the comparative merits of flying into Omaha or Kansas City. It’s always a good read. (The now-retired Fortune editor Carol Loomis has helped give the letters their clear-eyed prose for decades.)
