The Constructive Explorers
To Peter, it is more important than ever that journalism fulfil its role as moderator of public conversations. “At Constructive Institute, we are trying to find examples from all over the world of dialogue formats and best practice examples that help to push back polarisation.” That also means, finding out how journalists could be moderators of public conversations, and finding formats that inspire the media branch and bring them forward. How journalism remains relevant and attractive in the future is also something Peter is deeply committed to: “Journalism has to be relevant in the future, and to be relevant in the future means developing further and strengthening the dialogue. Political and social polarisation puts democracies worldwide under stress. In many places the media are part of the problem, but they can also be part of the solution: For instance, if journalists act as intermediaries who organise and moderate constructive discourse.”
