What does it take to build trust in journalism today? For RTL Deutschland journalist Liv von Boetticher, the answer starts with reporting reality – even when it is uncomfortable: “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 – 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱.” We spoke to Liv about how a recent reporting assignment on violence at railway stations sparked a wider debate about press freedom and editorial responsibility. She shares her views on reporting politically sensitive topics, the importance of balancing context with clarity, and why journalism should inform rather than tell people what to think. She also reflects on the increasing hostility journalists face while doing their jobs, why press freedom should never be taken for granted, and what gives her hope for the future of independent journalism.
