With a public event on October 1, 2009 at Munich’s ARRI Kino, the Macromedia University of Media and Communication (MHMK) begins the 2009/10 winter semester.
As guest speakers, Hans Werner Kilz, editor-in-chief of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, and York von Heimburg, Executive Board member of IDG Communications Media AG, welcome MHMK’s students, faculty and guests. Kilz addresses the question of “Quality in Newspaper Journalism.” York von Heimburg devotes himself to the topic: “The Publishing Industry Before the Paradigm Shift – How the Internet Will Influence Publishers in the Future.”
