The protection of Internet users is the most urgent task for the future President of the Bavarian State Center for New Media (BLM), Thorsten Schmiege. The net is a driver for freedom of expression and democracy.
But that should not also become their greatest danger, warned Schmiege on Thursday at his inauguration in Munich.
“User protection is more important to me than ever,” emphasized the new BLM boss. “We want and we also have to work much more broadly.” The 47-year-old lawyer Schmiege succeeds Siegfried Schneider at the head of BLM. The 65-year-old had not run for a third term after ten years as president.
The BLM is one of 14 state media authorities nationwide. It supervises and promotes more than 100 local and regional radio and TV programs in Bavaria – from Berchtesgaden to Aschaffenburg and from Hof to Lindau. The institution under public law is financed primarily through income from the license fee, and it also awards public funding.
