LFK

The LfK based in Stuttgart has existed since 1986 with the beginning of private television in Baden-Württemberg. For the past 35 years we advocate for a diverse media landscape in Baden-Württemberg. With our team of 30 staffmembers we shape the conditions for a diverse range of private radio and TV formats in Baden-Württemberg. We plan the distribution areas and take care of the observance of media laws offline as well as online. Furthermore it is our special goal to support journalist structures in Baden-Württemberg and to keep our most vulnerable users – children and adolescents – safe and teach them and also senior citizens a safe way of using digital media. Our goals haven’t changed much in the past 35 years. We need to secure the freedom of speech and a multitude of different opinions. To continually reach these goals, we rearrange our priorities over and over.
