People up close is a multiple award-winning broadcast format of the WDR , which reports on people and their life stories. The series went on air in 1996 and was initially directed by Gert Monheim . Ulrike Schweitzer has been editor-in-chief since 2000 .

Criticism of three episodes

As part of three episodes by the author Katharina Wulff-Bräutigam - Heimliche Liebe (2014), love without a future? Secret affairs and their consequences (2016) and Ehe aus Vernunft (2019) - it turned out that protagonists were won over to the internet platform “Komparse.de” for the depiction. In addition, some of the true stories described differed from one another in terms of presentation and statements. The broadcaster then ended its collaboration with Wulff-Bräutigam and announced that the editorial team would expand the application of the four-eyes principle and counter research and specify their criteria for the search for protagonists. Wulff-Bräutigam told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that she did not know that one should not look for protagonists via a call to “Komparse.de”. You do not see yourself alone, but also the editorial staff of the WDR is responsible. The editor-in-chief of television of the WDR, Ellen Ehni , saw editorial failures in the editor, who had overseen all three of Wulff-Bräutigam's objectionable articles, but wanted to hold on to her.

The broadcaster is offering the film Love Without a Future? Secret affairs and their consequences in his media library with an explanatory note on the ongoing examination. The film Marriage from Reason - Is It Really Possible Without Love? has been removed from the media library, but is available to interested journalists.

Awards (selection)

The series received numerous prizes and awards.
