KoWi Salzburg X AAI Salzburg

Cooperation between KoWi Salzburg and the AAI in the exhibition: “Forgotten Worlds and Blind Spots”

In cooperation with the Afro-Asian Institute Salzburg, a joint visit by PLUS students on the course “Global Communication, Media and Power” and international AAI scholarship students will take place on April 17th from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Unipark Nonntal. Following the exhibition ” Forgotten Worlds and Blind Spots “, Prof. Dr. Hanan Badr, Head of the Unit of Public Spheres and Inequalities, will lead an open discussion with the students at AAI to critically reflect on biases in global communication and foreign media coverage, with a particular focus on the media neglect of the Global South.

The exhibition “Forgotten Worlds and Blind Spots ” presents the findings of a long-term study by Dr. Ladislaus Ludescher at the Karl Ruprecht University of Heidelberg, in which examined over 5,100 broadcasts of the Tagesschau and other leading German media. Findings prove the neglect of the Global South in the media as „blind spots” in reporting. The exhibition provides an opportunity to draw attention to the need for more balanced reporting and to bring the “forgotten worlds” into public attention.
