Don’t moderators have a chance with the MDR “Mittagsmagazin” because they are not East German? The broadcaster says that’s not true.
Nadia Kailouli and Aimen Abdulaziz-Said are moderators of the Lunch magazines (Mima), so what you call well-known TV faces. The two who are currently still producing it from RBB Mima present, have now posted word-identical tweets that raise questions about personnel selection in the ARD. “As you know,” they write there, “ARD-MIMA is moving to Leipzig in 2024. Unfortunately, I will no longer moderate the show.” Because, they write: “According to the MDR editor-in-chief, the future moderation should have an East German background. I have to accept that.”
