MDR guide in easy language – television simply explained

“Dresden spricht…” Workshops, guided tours, writing and printing workshops under the motto “Language and writing. Dresden speaks many languages”

Guided tour of the MDR State Broadcasting Centre Saxony

How is news made, how are reports told? What goes into a news item, what goes into a report? And is something perhaps even concealed? Or even added to it? And above all: Who makes all this news, who selects it, who makes sure that viewers hear about it at all?

At Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, or more precisely at the Dresden regional broadcasting centre, many people in different professions work to ensure that news is broadcast day after day, evening after evening. Who are these people, the journalists, editors and cameramen? And what drives them? Why do they want to tell others about life in Saxony and elsewhere? How do they know about the countless appointments in the Free State? Who invites them to press conferences or to workshops, businesses, museums and castles?

Questions upon questions to which there are answers.

Adina Rieckmann, a long-standing editor at the MDR State Broadcasting Centre in Saxony, guides us through a working world that few of us know.

Our guided tours and round trips to inclusive locations

The tours and excursions take you to places where language plays an important role in conveying information and knowledge. Experts explain the challenges of communicating in an integrative and inclusive way, where this is already successful and where obstacles to communication and understanding repeatedly arise in everyday public spaces.

Das Projekt “Dresden spricht…” wird gefördert durch das Staatsministerium für Soziales und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Diese Maßnahme wird mitfinanziert mit Steuermitteln auf Grundlage des vom Sächsischen Landtag beschlossenen Haushaltes im Rahmen des Landesprogrammes Integrative Maßnahmen.
