Technical-literary society

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Technical-Literary Society (TELI) is a journalists' association for technical-scientific journalism . The registered association based in Berlin is committed to the dissemination of scientific and technical reporting in a factual form.

TELI is also a founding member of the European Union of Science Journalists 'Associations EUSJA (European Union of Science Journalists' Associations), which was established in 1971.

On January 11, 1929, 32 technology journalists from newspaper editors and from the literary departments of Siemens, AEG and Telefunken founded the “Technisch-Literarisches Gesellschaft” in Berlin. The founding members included Siegfried Hartmann, the actual spiritus rector of TELI, at that time a technical journalist for the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (DAZ), and Hans Dominik , pioneer of technical reporting and author of widely read utopian novels. The aim of this group was to professionalize the technical reporting in the daily newspapers and make it more independent of the advertising part. Most of the TELI members were graduates of the TH; there were joint events with experts from the university. After the war, TELI was re-established in 1952 from widely dispersed members. She cultivated institutional and personal relationships with the TU Berlin . Many important technology journalists emerged from it. After 1990, the association of technology journalists from East and West ensured a new bloom for TELI in Berlin. The TELI is now one of many professional associations within science journalism .

The purpose of the company is to contribute to the development and dissemination of independent technical and scientific journalism to the public and thus to the promotion of science, research and education. TELI includes journalists who work full-time for media of all kinds as editors or generally as authors.
