What does an editor or manager, if you notify him in writing that the Xxxtag held a press conference and he and / or. his publishers are not invited? The question does not expect only one answer ... Oberputzig is the projection, because it is unloaded at the editorial office which is the only relevant newspaper. As one might already knocking the legs ...! To the point: The Serbske Nowiny - only (evening) daily newspaper in the Sorbian language - should be a press conference of the Foundation for the Sorbian People on 25 March 2010, not approved. The sole reason: "... a njewecowne tendenciozne rozprawnistwo zaslych dnjow ..." (the unprofessional and biased coverage of recent days). The projection was somehow and at some point withdrawn. Training and probably also re-invitation is Marko Suchy, director of the Foundation for the Sorbian people. He otherwise has obviously still a lot worse "enemy": Internecy.

letter to the Director of the Foundation for the Sorbian people, Marko Suchy, from the director of the Domowina-Verlag GmbH, Maria Matschie 22 March 2010
first We condemn the violation of § § 3 and 4 of the Saxon press law on public service and the right to information the press, and Article 5 of the Basic Law and the proposed restrictions on press freedom by the Foundation Director, Mr. Marko Suchy, when the journalists of the Serbske Nowiny the press conference on the results of the meeting of the Council of the Foundation for the Sorbian People on 25 March 2010 unloads in Cottbus.
second The cause for the actions of the Foundation's Director is not the effort of his "unprofessional and biased coverage of recent days", but are critical to the journalistic amounts under the Foundation for the Sorbian People opaque-driven "modernization of the existing structures" institutional funds the primacy of money as well as the relationship between staff and edited funding of the Foundation with similar cultural institutions.
third On behalf of the Foundation for the Sorbian people will once again exerted pressure on editors to intimidate and to prevent a public critical debate on the functioning of the Foundation. Back in 2004, Foundation Director Mark Suchy recommended before the Federal Board of Domowina to consider the replacement of the chief editor of Serbske Nowiny. 2006 accused the former Foundation President-Christian Baumgartel before the editor in chief, he let "are his own opinions" only.
4th Meanwhile, the Board takes Functions of the Foundation for the Sorbian people as a shareholder of the publisher Domowina true. Still, think seriously about finding a publisher for the independent shareholders, which can not be influenced by the federal government funders, the Free State of Saxony and Brandenburg.
