Policy Statement by Max Sturm, Creative Director of Radio Lear

As the Creative Director of Radio Lear, I am dedicated to fostering an environment that promotes creative freedom, artistic expression, and the responsible use of fictionalized content. At Radio Lear, we understand the power of storytelling, the allure of imagination, and the blurred lines between real and virtual production. It is our commitment to ensure that these elements are harnessed responsibly and held accountable within our creative endeavours.

Creative Freedom:
We strongly believe in the power of creative freedom as a driving force behind innovation and artistic expression. At Radio Lear, we encourage our team and contributors to explore new ideas, push boundaries, and challenge conventional norms. We recognize that creative freedom allows us to create thought-provoking content that resonates with our audience. However, we also understand the importance of responsible creative expression, respecting legal and ethical boundaries, and ensuring that the content we produce aligns with our values and mission.

Artistic Expression:
Artistic expression lies at the heart of Radio Lear’s endeavours. We celebrate the diverse perspectives and voices that contribute to our creative landscape. Through our platform, we encourage artists, writers, producers, and performers to share their unique visions and explore the depths of their creativity. We recognize the role of artistic expression in challenging societal norms, sparking conversations, and inspiring change. However, we also emphasize the responsibility that comes with artistic expression, ensuring that our content is respectful, inclusive, and sensitive to the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our audience.

Use of Fictionalized Content:
Fictionalized content can be a powerful tool for storytelling and engaging our audience’s imagination. It allows us to explore alternative narratives, delve into complex themes, and shed light on societal issues. At Radio Lear, we embrace the use of fictionalized content, understanding that it can spark discussions and evoke emotions. However, we are mindful of the potential impact of such content. We take care to ensure that fictional elements are clearly distinguished from factual information, and we communicate transparently when presenting fictionalized content to our audience.

Blurring Boundaries between Real and Virtual Production:
In the realm of radio and digital media, the boundaries between real and virtual production can be blurred. As the Creative Director, I am committed to harnessing this blurring of boundaries responsibly. We employ technologies such as sound design, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence to enhance the listening experience and create immersive storytelling. However, we prioritize transparency and the protection of our audience’s trust. When employing these technologies, we make it clear to our audience what is real and what is virtual, ensuring that they can fully engage with the content while maintaining a sense of accountability and authenticity.

Accountability and Responsibility:
At Radio Lear, we recognize our responsibility to our audience and the wider community. We hold ourselves accountable for the content we produce and the impact it may have. We actively seek feedback, engage in open dialogue, and address concerns or criticisms with integrity. We strive to create a safe and inclusive space where creative freedom can thrive while maintaining a strong ethical framework.

As the Creative Director of Radio Lear, I am committed to fostering an environment that upholds creative freedom, promotes artistic expression, responsibly uses fictionalized content, and navigates the blurred boundaries between real and virtual production. We understand the power of storytelling and the responsibility that comes with it. Together, we will continue to push boundaries, provoke thought, and inspire change while remaining accountable and sensitive to our audience’s needs and the wider impact of our work.
