2.1.1984, 5:27 pm. A midwife and nurses gather in an operat-ing theatre. After a few minutes, they deliver a small television set with the »RTL plus« logo flickering on the screen. The »child«, who was often teased during its early years and spent its youth getting into all sorts of bother and provoking scandal, has, meanwhile, grown into a guarantee for success. Today, the commercial broadcaster has been broadcasting for 25 years and has really shaken up the German television market.

To be able to, just once, produce your own contribution for a well known radio station – no problem with Deutschlandradio Kultur! In the station’s »Blogspiel«, radio listeners have the opportunity to upload their audio comments and radio contributions and put them up for discussion.

Alongside notebooks, netbooks and classic mobiles, it is precisely the new-style smartphones which are offering the perfect hardware for the use of mobile data services. Every tenth mobile phone worldwide is, meanwhile, a smartphone with satellite navigation, internet and e-mail access. Sixteen per cent of Germans use the benefits of mobile internet and 41 per cent of smartphone owners even surf the Web daily with their phones. In this way, the all-rounders, a combination of mobile phone and personal digital assistant, are ensuring lucrative business.

Service

• A Class of its Own - Funding initiatives pave the way for media innovations in NRW
• Exemplary Journalism
• Enjoy a Happy End Thanks to the Right Media Insurance
• The Perfection of the Moment

To save the world with Daniel Craig, in the role of James Bond, in a fully photo realistic environment – the »Articy« game technology will soon make this possible. This combines 3D images with filmed actors and photo realistic laser scans to form a harmonious virtual world in which you are able to move freely. The development from Bochum-based »Nevigo« is one of twelve projects which have been awarded funding, as part of the funding initiative »Medien.NRW« from the EU and the state of NRW. It is thanks to such discoveries that the media belong to the federal state’s most promising industries for the future – but also those with the greatest competition. Funding initiatives, whether from the federal or state government, or associations or communes, play a decisive role in strengthening the innovative strength of creative talents and network development.
