Media magazine scandal

On Thursday, May 1, 2014, the SWR3 program hosted its annual barbecue party, which was also broadcast live on SWR television . For the issue of the SWRinfo media magazine, which was to be broadcast on May 3, 2014, a conversation with the SWR television presenter Lena Ganschow was planned, in which she was to take stock of this year's SWR3 barbecue. Inadvertently, however, the corresponding edition of the media magazine was made available in the SWR podcast on the evening of April 30th , which made it clear that the corresponding conversation, which claimed to have been recorded after the barbecue party, was actually recorded before the event was, so the reports of the two moderators were fictitious. The incident was made public by media journalist Stefan Niggemeier , who had received a tip from a reader of his blog. The incident caused horror among expert observers. As a result, the SWRinfo editorial team apologized and spoke of a “journalistic no-go”, SWR editor-in-chief Arthur Landwehr called the incident a “serious violation of our basic professional rules”. However, Landwehr emphasized that it was an isolated individual case. SWR employees, on the other hand, reported structural causes and numerous similar incidents in the past.

reception

SWRinfo was as a live stream on the Internet, via the digital radio DAB (in Rhineland-Palatinate since April 25, 2014 via DAB + ), over the cable network ( Unity Media in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Vodafone cable Germany in Rhineland-Palatinate), a mobile app on the smartphone and via satellite. In addition, the program could be heard in downtown Stuttgart over the FM frequency 91.5 MHz.

As long stretches of SWRinfo were taken over by the SR station Antenne Saar , a large part of the program could still be received via the medium-wave transmitter Heusweiler, at least in Saarland and in bordering parts of Rhineland-Palatinate until it was switched off on January 1, 2016 alternating with the French-language program Actualités et magazine from Radio France Internationale .
