In his yesterday's broadcast reported ZAPP - the media magazine of the NDR television - on a study entitled "Journalism in Germany II", created under direction of Prof. Dr. Siegfried Weischenberg at the Institute of Journalism and Communication, University of Hamburg and in book form, one has been published . Among the findings gathered in it belongs, for example, that the German research journalism suffers from weakness and have lost the search time dramatically. The author of the article concluded, visibly impressed by this finding, with the vague admonition that this should be better. Earlier in this broadcast had Zapp under the arch-ironic headline "Research of the week" found shocked that the topic of "slush funds at Siemens," but actually not even a number of German newspapers researched, but cheeky with Klaus Ott, editor of the "Süddeutsche newspaper, "have written off. ZAPP it turned the "Handelsblatt", the "Daily Mirror", the "Taz" and the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" in the pillory.
So far, so good. After the reminder, then, that would improve this, Zapp was not yet reached the end. Now the Ableserin announced a contribution of Immoblilienfonds fraud, in which "our colleagues from Report Mainz [...] periodicals that dealt exclusively with money issues under the microscope" two had. Specifically, it was a question of our colleagues Daniel Hechler. So to clarify: ZAPP criticized that too much will be written off and immediately afterwards brings their own contribution, which is not equal to one and all on their own dung, but on the SWR. Who's stupid to keep rare, is certainly not alone. Apart from this post was on 12/06/2006 erstausgestrahlt, almost half a year ago. ZAPP has neither researched nor was the contribution itself fresh. Zapp says that it if it spreads over its editorial director Haberbusch Kuno, "no one is safe from his research"? Mr. Busch has since let Haber play about his contacts in the southern German homeland and former colleagues in the cabinet with the finished articles "research"?
Because of old colleagues may well be more out of the question, but it is definitely still present to colleagues. Finally, Kuno Haberbusch board member of the Network Research Association, whose chairman is a certain Thomas Leif. This is again full-time at Südwestrundfunk (SWR) as chief reporter for the national broadcasters operate in Mainz, which produces the television program Report Mainz hinwieder. Thank God works in this magazine now Schober, who - oddly enough - Board Member of the network's research and thus the first hinge on the path of Hechler's contribution to the mission Zapp. Then surely rather than search network?
At yesterday's broadcast also in the ZAPP vermeldeten fact that the news magazine "Der Spiegel" at the top of the list of most-cited media in Germany was (before and after SZ FAZ that is in second place), ZAPP has definitely helped himself. When the show was still aired Sunday night that is, it often seemed nothing more than a preliminary edition of the "mirror" to be in the form of television. If it was not said: "The news magazine Der Spiegel reported in its morning edition," then you could find most of the show but the next day in the "mirror". By no means something because a lot of their own research could be felt. That "The Mirror" would have served at "Zapp" (mind games are in order here, even if they still seem so far-fetched), is probably impossible, since "Der Spiegel", delivered on Saturday and advance to an online version available stands, Zapp his research fruits but only just brought on Sunday evening to the people.
Should be careful with ZAPP is that one does not rest on the Otto Brenner Prize 2006, which the magazine under the headline: "Critical journalism - thorough research rather than appointed truths" hidden for the post, "hidden, forbidden - Surreptitious public relations and the media "on 8 November in Berlin has been awarded. By the way, ZAPP landed in third place behind the "Daily Mirror", the ZAPP of copying the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" accused.
Thus, the arc closes the circle, it should finally have noted the following piquancy: In charge of the award of the Otto Brenner Prize jury sits an old acquaintance of the chief editor of the excellent program ZAPP: Thomas Leif. It is an essential feature of networks that you smear it on each other and also from Suck up, so as to generate artificial, seemingly independent of publicity that will help you be transported to professional advancement dubious way. Who voted for Mr. Leif is, of course secret. One could increase the credibility of such awards in other enormously and take womöglichen nepotism-allegations of the wind from the sails by simply in specific individual situations a jury member who is in known to be closely related to one of the winning candidates, in this case by one of each suspected free club member exceptionally replaced.
