Life

Robin Meyer-Lucht studied economics, social and media sciences in Hamburg, London and Berlin. He received the Erwin Stephan Prize for his thesis on collaborative filters at the TU Berlin .

The doctorate with Peter Glotz at the Institute for Media and Communication Management at the University of St. Gallen on the competitive strategies of news sites was followed by the foundation of the Berlin Institute in early 2007 .

In 2010 Meyer-Lucht initiated an online petition at the German Bundestag for "open, duty-free and non-discriminatory access to online offers" ( net neutrality ).

In mid-September 2011, a message was spread on social networks that Robin Meyer-Lucht was missing, combined with a request to provide details of his whereabouts. The news of his discovery and of his death, which had occurred several days earlier, was first spread on September 21, 2011 via social networks (by bloggers Christoph Kappes and Mario Sixtus ). There was no further information on the cause of death.

In his obituary, Andreas Griess wrote that Meyer-Lucht had “mostly” represented positions “with which a large part of German Internet activists could identify. However, he was never your typical blogger, even if he got a lot of attention in the scene. His texts were often rather well-founded essays. With a witty language and a clear opinion, Robin Meyer-Lucht managed to play an important role in the German-speaking blogosphere anyway, or perhaps because of it . ”Christoph Kappes pointed out that his author's blog Carta has repeatedly set topics and“ as a hinge between the media genres and as a discourse platform ”. Thierry Chervel wrote, “There was no careerist behind the elegant facade. Robin was a nonconformist. "
