The new public service genre “Broadcast on our own behalf” has one more contribution: In the NDR media magazine Zapp said on Wednesday the executives from the Landesfunkhaus Kiel, who are criticized after an internal report by the editorial committee became known and two of whom – the former political chief Julia Stein and the former editor-in-chief Norbert Lorentzen – are now being transferred. A report prepared by two NDR journalists from other broadcasting houses, found no demonstrable political influence in Kiel during their test period, but a disturbed climate. As with the gladiators, the meetings were said to be in the Zapp article. “If one or the other form of criticism reached one or the other employee in a form that he or she found too harsh, then I’m really sorry, that was never my intention,” says Lorentzen in the post. When asked why there was not enough reaction to the report by the editorial committee, which raised complaints in December 2021, Zapp is hardly self-critical Confessions of director Joachim Knuth and Funkhauschef Volker Thormählen, they should have taken a closer look.
