Alexander Sängerlaub leads the think & do tank futur eins for the future of digital publics spheres. He has been working on digital public spheres for a long time and prefers to do so holistically.

His study Quelle: Internet?, published with Anna-Katharina Meßmer and Leonie Schulz, won 2022 the Hans-Bausch-Mediapreis of SWR and Uni Tübingen. In 2014, he founded the utopian political magazine Kater Demos – the first German constructive journalism magazine – and was head of editorial & creation.
