Freedom of Expression: Ethics and Law Angela Merkel breast-feeding the Kazcynski brothers – a study case 9th of November 2007

 Presentation of the case  Statement of the chief editor  Reactions in Germany  Ethical discussion: FoX vs. Human Right of Dignity Caricature vs. Defamation/Provocation Drawing vs. Photographic Montage  Discussion

The background of the picture  EU summit in Brussels  Wprost: “Germany's post-colonial reflexes" "the Germans still aren't able to treat Poles like partners.“ >> What was the magazine trying to say?

The editor's defensive argument  The photo isn't only critical of Merkel  Kaczynskis as children  relationship threatened by nationalistic points of view, clearly not working

Reactions in Germany  German Media ”predictably shrill”?  German Population used to it?  German Government downplaying?

Ethical discussion  FoX vs. Human Right of Dignity  Caricature vs. Defamation/Provocation  Drawing vs. Photographic Montage

FoXvs. Human Dignity  Independence of the press  Protection of journalist's sources  Individually  Relgious, ethnic and social minorities „Everyone has inherent dignity and the right to have their dignity respected and protected.“ (Constitution of the Republic of South Africa)

Is this picture a caricature? Definition of „caricature“  satirical, critical  commenting on a recent topic of general interest  „grain of truth“  journalistically analysed and presented

An absurd discussion?  the step mother is a very sexy and positive cliché character in Poland  trouble to find an adequate body-model - a 23 year old, that’s not too thin >> Are we still talking politics here?

An ambivalent situation  WWII and the nazi’s reference are touchy subjects  Poland’s fear of a german-russian alliance  ”You can laugh at everything but not with everybody”? – Wprost often comments harshly

Discussion I  To what extent is this picture the expression of a free press or an offense of the human right of dignity? (also take into account that Merkel is considered a person in public – different priciples apply)  Is the picture a caricature or rather a mere provocation?

Discussion II  Do we have to adapt to a new way of ”seeing”? Why would the picture been much less of a scandal as a drawing?  What role do the Media play in this?
