Ce mercredi 15 mai débutait un cycle de conférences sur les médias. Medialux dévoilait les prérésultats de son enquête sur le paysage médiatique luxembourgeois et les habitudes de consommation des médias par le public.

Wednesday 15 May 2024, the first in a series of conferences about the planned reform of the Electronic Media Law in the Grand Duchy took place at Casino Luxembourg.This new conference series looks at possible changes to the Electronic Media Law, which has undergone several revisions but has not been globally reassessed since its entry into force 1991, noted the organisers on their website. To face new challenges, there appears to be a need for an in-depth reassessment of media legislation to ensure effective regulation adapted to current and future realities. These public conferences, organised by Luxembourg’s Department of Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy (SMC) in collaboration with the University of Luxembourg, form part of this process

Denn immer wieder schaden diese der Gesundheit junger Menschen und führen gar zu Suiziden, zuletzt bei zwei 15-jährigen Mädchen in Frankreich. Stéphanie Lukasik und Matthias Böhm von der Uni Luxemburg über die Gefahren von TikTok. Interview Télécran Luxemburg

Historically in German and Luxembourgish, the country’s media have been able to adapt to demographic changes. French became the language of choice in the early 2000s, followed by English, with an increasing number of media aimed at native speakers and immigrants with English as a second language. Should the media address everyone in their language of origin or in a common language? What is the best way to integrate, and what role do the local media play in this? We explored these issues in a fascinating discussion with Cordula Schnuer, recently appointed editor-in-chief of the Luxembourg Times, which caters for the country’s English-speaking community. And Lisa McLean, director of Radio Ara, which provides news in English as well as programmes for the country’s different communities. Sérgio Ferreira, Political Director of ASTI and a former journalist, gave us some ideas on how to improve integration in Luxembourg, and finally Stéphanie Lukasik, a researcher at the University of Luxembourg, gave us the Media Monitor figures to help us better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Luxembourg media landscape.
