| Summary: | The Protestant Press Service (epd) with its central editorship in Frankfurt would not exist without church financing. But is this "epd" to be seen as a function of the ecclesiastical bureaucracy, as itself proclaims, or as an agency sui generis? This article, by a journalist who has served in the editorial department for thirty years, takes up this question and leaves it open. On the one hand, the idea of acting as providing a voice for the underdog, or serving those without a voice, as a kind of "public service" conflicts with the evident need to act as a representative organ for the church as a whole. But the author believes that "a protestant press service needs to be only as protestant as the Christian Democratic Union party needs to be christian or democratic". In a parallel way we need to ask how the 'epd' relates to the 'separated brethren' in the Catholic News Service (KNA), and how the 'competition' from the more evangelical 'Information Service' is to be evaluated. |
