The editorial team of www.e-politik.de sees itself as politically neutral and tries to show that politics consists of more than just election campaigns , speeches, party programs and members of parliament . The editorial offices want to find political opinions, moods and trends in all areas of public life, whether in literature , film , music , manners, fashion trends or party programs . The focus of the reporting is not only on current events, but also on long-term trends and topics beyond the prevailing news situation. The authors always try to show a special point of view or a new perspective. In this way, new perspectives and views on a topic that have been ignored by other mass media are combined with background information in order to contribute to the formation of political opinion with a new approach. Important topics are summarized in dossiers and continuously updated.
