About us

We are the first review editorial team at the University of Kassel with one thing in common: We love reading books, watching series and movies. But more importantly, we love writing about them.

What did we particularly like about the latest Netflix series? Which book could we not put down? What background or special features should you definitely know? Can we recommend the movie to you or not?

We want to share all this and much more with you at MEDIEN|KRITIK. Whether oldies or new releases, thrillers or fantasy, absolute favorite books or never-ending hate films, we set ourselves no limits and want to give you a diverse insight into the world of media that we ourselves consume. And who knows, maybe we can even inspire you in this way or encourage you to think further.

Want to take part?

If you like it and you don't just want to read our reviews, but would rather write them yourself, you're more than welcome to do so! You can take part in our regular editorial meetings as a permanent member at any time or send us your own reviews as a freelance writer to the e-mail address below. We look forward to reading your texts and giving you editorial and conceptual advice.
