Telepolis editorial change
Until 2020, under Rötzer, Telepolis, owned by the media conglomerate Heise Medien, covered a number of deep politics topics with relative freedom. According to Rötzer Telepolis was a "grey area in which the discourses of the majority can meet those of the minority, in which there is no exclusion, but integration, in which there is no information war, but a playful competition of opinions, which could also be called a discourse free of domination, as long as the truth is not prescribed, but sought. There can be missteps, there are false paths, perhaps even outlandish thoughts are promoted: it is the productive life of the agora, the foundation of democracy before any decision-making."[2]
On January 1, 2024, Telepolis put a disclaimer on older articles before January 1, 2021. The articles were now introduced with a preamble: "This is an older post. The views, opinions and other statements expressed in this text may not correspond or no longer correspond to the current journalistic principles of Heise Medien and the Telepolis editorial team. For reasons of transparency, we will nevertheless leave the following article online. Further information on the work of Telepolis and the principles of our work can be found in our mission statement."[2]
