About this conversation
Borris Brandt hosts Stefan Magnet, Lars Mährholz, Gerhard Wisnewski and Frank Höfer for a discussion about cooperation across a diverse media landscape. They ask how to reach people beyond their existing audiences and when joint appeals make sense. Mährholz looks back at the 2014 Berlin peace vigils, reflects on a past mistake and argues for shared peace initiatives while retaining independent media formats. Other contributions address careers in journalism, printed books as lasting records and the value of meeting in person. A later debate explores belief, role models and visualisation. Mährholz connects self-acceptance and human connection with his approach to peace work. The participants share some aims but hold different religious and philosophical positions. The closing round offers political expectations from the time of recording. The video documents personal viewpoints and disagreement, rather than a single position held by everyone.
