PR agencies like to claim to “place issues,” we just take space. For example, at the pond of big fish. As soon as you sit there you get into conversation with the other anglers. E.g. the professional fishermen from Ulmen.TV. Since Near the Water is quiet, we’re shifting communications to the TV Producers blog starting next week. René Walter, operator of the blog Nerdcore, can be found there as of today as an editor and guest commentator. Petri Heil!
Addendum dated March 24, 2026:
Dear readers, we have decided not to delete older posts regarding our collaboration with the production company ulmen.tv. Removing them from the web would run counter to what we should all be striving for: visibility. Much has already been said about this complex and multilayered issue. We could not put it more aptly than Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre has done: Link to ZEIT article. From here on, it is in our hands as a society. Let’s work to make change happen—preferably through legislation, but even more so through our personal attitudes.
#NotAllMen, but always men.
