Bettermann stated that the signing of this cooperative agreement is an important step on the way to forming a Master’s program. He also thanked the partners for their constructive cooperation. During the signing, Krzeminski stressed the uniqueness of this offer. He said that even though there are many programs for media studies in Germany, there are none that connect the media to development work in this form, while also accounting for global media developments. Winiger emphasized the meaning behind the cooperation between the two education institutions and Deutsche Welle. He said that everyone involved can only benefit from this arrangement: The new program focuses on journalism, media and development, media and education, communication and media science, media management and politics and society.
