ROV Pilots in Germany & Austria - Murky Water Visibility Tips

Looking for ROV pilots in Germany and Austria: how do you deal with murky water? Hi everyone, I’m Kenny from Germany. I run a small German-language magazine and forum about underwater drones (ROVs) and I’m working on a practical guide about the most annoying topic of all: visibility in murky water. In our lakes and ponds it’s often over after half a meter, and more light just makes backscatter worse. I’ve read the theory. What I’m after now is real-world experience: What did you change on your setup (camera, lights, light position, tether, settings) that actually helped? Is there anything that improves the live video feed while you’re driving, rather than editing afterwards? What did you try that made no difference at all? I’m also looking for ROV pilots in Germany and Austria. If you operate in our lakes, quarries or rivers, I’d love to hear from you and would be happy to have you as a named contributor to the guide, if you want that. Any tips are very welcome, and before/after footage would be gold. Thanks! Kenny

Parents of Under-18s in EU - EU KIDS Act Social Media Rules

I'm looking for parents of under-18s from an EU country to interview! 👋 The new EU KIDS Act and its regulations on children's social media use have sparked a lot of debate. I'm working on a story about it for Phoenix Weekly, a Chinese-language news magazine under Phoenix TV and I'd love to hear from parents who are willing to share their views. Whether you welcome the new rules, have doubts about them, or feel somewhere in between, all perspectives are welcome. I'm especially interested in how you handle social media at home and what influence of social media do you see in children . The interview can be a short call or written answers, whichever suits you best. If you'd like to take part, feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Thank you, and sharing this post with parents in your network would help a lot! 🙏 #EUKIDSAct #SocialMedia #Parenting #DigitalWellbeing #Journalism

Vienna Social Entrepreneurs - In-Person Podcast Changemaker Journeys

I’m looking for interview guests based in Vienna for my flagship podcast #impact - hashtagimpact.com And here's the story behind it... When I launched #impact in Hong Kong back in 2017, I recorded EVERY conversation in person. It was my rule. My non-negotiable. Then I moved to the Hong Kong suburbs, had my second kid and recording in person became trickier. Then Covid hit, I had my third kid and recording in person was now impossible. So after that, I stuck to recording online and I appreciate what that has made possible SO MUCH. It made the podcast much easier to produce and meant I could talk to people all over the world. I will definitely continue recording online as well. But I’ve been missing the magic of sitting across from another human being, putting the microphones on the table and having a proper conversation in person SO MUCH. So I’d love to bring some of that in-person audio magic back. I’m looking for guests who are: * Based in Vienna (or willing to meet me in Vienna) * Running, building or working for a social impact business, social enterprise, an NGO, or a social impact initiative * Comfortable speaking English * Open to meeting me in person, either at your workplace or your favourite café * Open to going beyond the usual interview questions and reflecting on what your own changemaker journey actually means to you: the hard moments, the doubts, the lessons, and the reason why you keep going. What do you get? A conversation on a top 5% globally ranking podcast that has been advocating for and celebrating voices for social good since 2017. A space to tell your story, in your words, in your voice, and to share not just what you do, but what it actually means to you. Here’s what a few past guests have said: “𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸.” “𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦𝘳 #𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘴, 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰.

And yes, you can absolutely nominate yourself. :) Who should I be talking to? ++++++++++++++++++++ 📷 Photo credit: WLAB | Club Wheelock x The DO - one of my favourite live podcast recordings we got to do for #impact in Hong Kong.

Chefs in German Fine-Dining & Michelin Kitchens - Working Conditions

[Mod-approved] German public broadcaster (ARD) researching working conditions in fine-dining & Michelin-star kitchens – looking to hear from chefs Hi r/Chefit, I spoke with the mod team beforehand and they kindly made an exception to the no-research rule for this post – thanks to them for that. I'm Hannah, a journalist working for ARD, Germany's public broadcaster. We're researching working conditions in German fine-dining and Michelin-level kitchens: hours, pay, hierarchy and the culture on the pass, the "passion as payment" trade-off, and where the line between hard work and abuse gets crossed. Even though the focus is Germany, I know many chefs here have worked across borders or have a clear read on the industry, so I'd genuinely value hearing from you – whether you've worked in German kitchens or want to share your experience from neighbouring countries (Austria, Switzerland etc). What I'm looking for: people who've worked in fine-dining/Michelin star kitchens and are willing to share their experience: on the record, on background, or fully anonymous, whatever you're comfortable with. No obligation to appear on camera. How to reach me: share your experiences here in the comments or contact me privately at [email redacted]. I'm happy to verify who I am first and send you a copy of my press card or an email from my official editorial address. Source protection is taken seriously, and nothing gets used without your consent.
