Davids Medienkritik: Promoting Outstanding German-Language Blogs

Here is a list of outstanding German-language blogs for all of our German-language readers. The German-language blogosphere needs more readers and supporters. So please bookmark and check out as many of these sites as regularly as you can. Be sure to let as many other German-speakers as possible know about these blogs as well:

If you know of a good German-language blog not on this list, be sure to let us know in the comments section. The most remarkable aspect of this is that two years ago, when Davids Medienkritik first went online, most of these blogs did not even exist! Let's keep the German-language blogosphere growing! It is badly needed.

Update: From now on, we will permanently list these German-language blogs in a blogroll labeled "GERMAN-LANGUAGE BLOGS" on our sidebar for the convenience and reference of our readers.

I can confirm that EuroNeuzeit is a great German blog. I highly recommend it.

[Ray D.]

@ Trafo,

Thanks! There are so many great blogs out there, there are likely even more we still don't know about. If anyone knows a great German-language blog we are missing, please tell us!

Hi David, hi Ray,
thank you so much for the compliment! Very kind of you indeed. Karin

[Mario]

Hi,
this is also a very good website:

http://brushfiresoffreedom.blogspot.com/

[Trafo]

@Mario
Brushfires of Freedom is indeed a good blog but ... it is already in the list :-)

[Antti]

Excellent, Ray. I'll better start brushing up my high-school German (short course). I tried Karin's blog and I'll think I manage (eventually).

I'll be glad when online translation tools become more sophisticated. Google's word-by-word translation of German websites into Googlish is mostly good for laughs.

Until then, I certainly appreciate all the fine folks here at Dave's!

[blub]

"when online translation tools become more sophisticated."

This maybe never happens. Language is so complex and has so many exceptions, a tool able to cover all of them would require a person programming all possible cases. Maybe with artificial intelligence it is possible.

[Dragutin]

This is one of my favorite Teutonic blogs, a must for your list: http://neweuropean.grabinski.ch/

[Radiodays - Radiotage]

Sehr guter Radio-Blogg

(1) Die Behauptung, CAMPO-Autor Schikora (von "G. W" als "Schickora" tituliert) sei "Mitglied einer serbisch-faschistischen Kriegsverbrecherpartei", ist unwahr. Sie sei an dieser Stelle lediglich dahingehend kontrastiert, daß der bezichtigte Autor sich als Mitglied der Deutsch-Israelischen Gesellschaft, des RCDS und der CDU wohl kaum eine Mitgliedschaft in einer "faschistischen" oder gar "kriegsverbrecherischen" Organisation leisten könnte.

(2) Wenn "G. W" die Gesamtheit der von ihm aufs Korn genommenen Autoren als "fanatische Amerikahasser" tituliert, sei darauf hingewiesen, daß insbesondere Frau Krienen und Herr Roth vielfach antiamerikanische Tendenzen in der deutschen und europäischen Öffentlichkeit scharf anprangerten und die US-Administration gegenüber der Anschuldigung, den Irak grundlos besetzt und Kriegsverbrechen an irakischen Gefangenen angeordnet zu haben, in Schutz nahmen. Ist dies ein Ausdruck fanatischen Amerikahasses? Um wenigstens einen einzelnen Repräsentanten eines tatsächlich amerikafeindlichen Milieus dem CAMPO-Projekt zurechnen zu können, führt der Anonymus "G. W" Detlef Nolde an, der freilich an den Veröffentlichungen im CAMPO-NewsBlog praktisch nicht beteiligt ist.

Ich bitte den geneigten Leser hiermit ausdrücklich, sich wenigstens auszugsweise die Veröffentlichungen der (politisch und weltanschaulich recht verschiedenen) Autoren Krienen, Roth und Schikora zu Gemüte zu führen, um sich von der Abwegigkeit der Ausführungen von "G. W" selbst zu überzeugen.

Ha-Ha. Reading Krienen is real torture. She schould be shipped to Den Haag.

Check it out, too!

Some of these links appear to be nonexistent sites.

[Olaf Petersen]

Please delete AMIGOBOOM, I've merged it into Extrablog.

[Roncesvalles]

I have lost the Editor's Office domain together with all the blog's content. My new attempt at blogging is hosted at http://editrixblog.blogspot.com. I've called it "Roncesvalles".
