Many new trends emerge from startups, and they try out all kinds of solutions to problems \u2013 a truly inspiring environment!<\/p>\n<p>So here are some new startups from the field of journalism and news:<\/p>\n<p>In the area of media and journalism, the <a href=\"https:\/\/re-publica.de\/16\/session\/miz-rapid-fire-pitch-innovationen-unter-strom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\u201cMIZ rapid fire pitch\u201d<\/a> featured several startups from the Medieninnovationszentrum Babelsberg (MIZ), an accelerator program on the theme of rethinking broadcasting. I found the following 5 ideas (out of 8 in total) interesting and timely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/de.yallahdeutschland.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Yallah Deutschland<\/a> \u2013 an interactive portal for\/with\/by refugees, with videos about life in Germany.<\/li>\n<li>How do you reach 17- to 19-year-olds and get them interested in current political affairs? There\u2019s now an ARD-for-WhatsApp <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miz-babelsberg.de\/ard-kurznachrichtenzentrale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">editorial project<\/a>. The test phase has apparently gotten off to a very good start, and WhatsApp as a medium is working well \u2013 but how things can continue, and with which business model (including with WhatsApp), still needs to be worked out.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miz-babelsberg.de\/scape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Scape<\/a> \u2013 augmented audio reality = 3D hearing. An example: I move around a historical site, and depending on where I look, relevant texts with information or an audio drama are played to me. I can walk through history, so to speak, and actively decide what I hear and what I hear about \u2013 thanks to gamification, I can \u201chunt\u201d stories. The whole thing is GPS-based (and possibly also supported by markers at the sites).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediasteak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Mediasteak<\/a> \u2013 finding the public broadcasters\u2019 information landscape too confusing? How do you find the juicy cuts in the jumble of media libraries? This is where Mediasteak helps \u2013 initially a blog with daily tips on documentaries and good films in the public broadcasters\u2019 media libraries, whose app is now entering beta testing.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miz-babelsberg.de\/catch#web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Catch<\/a> \u2013 does radio know its listeners? Not as well as it could. With catch, radio listeners can quickly find out which song is playing, who wrote the report, and where to find more information on the topic \u2013 all centralized in one app. In return, radio makers can learn more about their listeners, their interests, and preferences.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sensor-live-reportage.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Sensor live reportage<\/a> &#8211; was certainly the creepiest idea \u2013 but has surely already been put into practice by our intelligence services and every smartphone manufacturer. Do we want to know what people do and say when they feel unobserved? Then let\u2019s hide audio sensors in everyday objects and collect live material for reportage that way. What are our kids up to in their room? No problem \u2013 Barbie\u2019s head is hollow anyway. How do I feel while assembling IKEA wardrobes? A sensor in the cordless screwdriver will surely answer that question. Even if the possibilities of this project are certainly very exciting for science and investigative journalism (it isn\u2019t fully developed yet &#8211; a box with software is the goal), it still leaves an uneasy feeling\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, I saw so much more &#8211; come to re:publica 11 next year and see the bustle for yourself.
