I'm now a Medienkritiker

Well, not really. But Davids Medienkritik did just post a plea to help translate posts into English, and I'll be helping out now and again (once a week or so).

Why, espcially considering that David's views are, um, somewhat to the right of mine? Because it's a good blog, and it starts good conversations. Even if Germans and Americans tend to disagree, at Medienkritik they're at least talking to one another. As a bilingual expat, one thing I can offer to the community is to translate things that are interesting, and David's points are always interesting and worth considering.

Translation is hard work and I am by no means a profressional translator, but at least the first post was fun. I felt like I was behind enemy lines, writing headlines for the Bild-Zeiting.
