Slipstream duck race: A race full of surprises in town!
On May 28, 2025, a unique event will take place in Rohrbach: the slipstream duck run. This event, which is becoming increasingly popular in the region, not only brings fun but also a large number of visitors to a location that impresses with its picturesque surroundings. According to [meinkreis.at](https://www.meinbezirk.at/rohrbach/imagepost/wind Schatten-entenlauf_i798068), preparations are in full swing as participants look forward to an exciting experience.
The slipstream duck run offers a platform where young and old can laugh and celebrate together. In Rohrbach, the organizers have set themselves the goal of promoting an atmosphere of community and cohesion, which is underlined by the participation of many local families and clubs. The mud race, in which each participant can send their own little duck into the race, will mark the day and provide many unforgettable moments.
The Press Council and the media ethics discussion
In a different context, the Austrian Press Council is currently dealing with the labeling of content on platforms such as ots.at. Senate 3 of the Press Council examined an article about false-positive PCR test results that was published on August 11, 2020. It turned out that the distinction between journalistic factual reports and outside opinions was not sufficiently marked.
The accusation is that the author disseminated contradictory and incorrectly relevant information about the error rate of PCR tests. Despite the clear rules of the code of honor for the Austrian press, the broadcaster was unable to adequately prove that the content could be correctly classified by readers. The debate shows how important clear labeling is in today's media landscape.
Regionaut Contribution Guidelines
The Press Council has pointed out the insufficient visual demarcation of “Regionauten” content from editorial contributions. The Senate also criticized the insufficient research and the incorrect assumption of a high false positive rate. Data from AGES at this point had shown that the positive rate was well over 1%, significantly weakening the author's argument. The media owner then received a request to label future contributions better and report the ethics violation.
The discussion about media ethical responsibility reflects the challenges that journalists have to face in a time of increasing flood of information. This also applies to local events such as the Slipstream Duck Run, where reliable information and clear communication are crucial for the success of an event.
In this sense, the Slipstream Duck Run is not only a sporting event, but also an important part of the local community that unites people through fun and journalistic integrity.
