In a new episode of its video podcast on the future of media, Campus Radio at the University of Liechtenstein engages in dialogue with leading experts to discuss the current challenges facing the media landscape. Key topics include media diversity, the use of artificial intelligence, and the role of journalism in an increasingly digital society.

Jnes Rampone-Wanger, President of the Liechtenstein Media Commission, highlighted the importance of regional reporting: “There are many stories in this country that can only be told here. Local journalism strengthens a sense of identity and fosters mutual understanding within the population.”

Christian Frommelt, Rector of the University of Liechtenstein, pointed to the specific dynamics of small states: “Political communication works differently here. Visibility can have great impact with relatively few resources—but it requires precise timing and compelling personalities.”

Carmen Dahl, President of the International Liechtenstein Press Club, expressed concern over the growing use of AI-generated voices in everyday media: “Technology cannot replace the human element. Especially in journalism, the interpersonal dimension must not be underestimated—it’s about trust and presence.”

“At a time when media diversity is under pressure in our country, this open exchange was particularly important. I thank all participants for their constructive and honest contributions—as well as the University of Liechtenstein for its ongoing support. This episode also serves as thematic preparation for the International Radio Days in St. Pölten,” said Andreas Krättli.
 

The production was created in collaboration between AK Digital Media and Campus Radio at the University of Liechtenstein. The episode is available on campusradio.li, podcasthus.li, SoundCloud, and via live stream at campusradioli.airtime.pro.
