Nudism Misrepresented by Media: A Response

English Yellow Press published original article from German newspaper without making clear distinction between nudism and swinging.

In the middle of May, an article was published in several German newspapers about a ‘political education trip to Cap d'Agde’ organised by a local politician. According to the organiser of this trip, the participants were offered an ‘unforgettable naturist swingers holiday with an interesting political programme’.

The journalists had adopted this absolutely false mixture of naturism/nudism with pornography/swinging in their articles without questioning or researching.

GetNakedGermany.de, the German Nudist Federation (DFK.org) and several naturist clubs wrote to the editors and demanded a correction. Numerous naturists/nudists had commented on the articles online, endeavouring to have them clarified.

The newspaper in which the article first appeared has reacted to the letters and published a clarification. On top of that, the editor responsible will accept an invitation from a naturist club to visit its premises and be ‘educated’ about naturism/nudism.

That at least is a good start and shows that intervention can be worthwhile.

Now, with a time delay, the English Yellow Press has taken up the original article and published it. Unfortunately (or intentionally?) without making a clear distinction between naturism/nudism and pornography/swinging.
