history

Until the 1980s, there were individual authors and small series in German television documentarism that were close to the form of reportage. "But it was left to ZDF to create a permanent reportage space in the evening program with REPORTAGE AM MONTAG in 1984. At the time, the defining editorial directors were Rudolf Blank (editor. Social policy) and Dieter Zimmer (editor. Interior policy). In a concept paper, those involved Editors said that viewers should have the chance to put politics and its consequences in a comprehensible context with their everyday life. [...] The series has been renamed, [...] changes in broadcasting times and cuts from 43 minutes to 29 minutes [...] With this program, ZDF set a trend. In 1993, ARD followed suit with its own series of reports, entitled "ARD-EXCLUSIV".

Until the beginning of the millennium, three ZDF editorial offices were jointly responsible for the reportage slot, as well as foreign policy in addition to those mentioned in the quote . The editorial offices developed an authentic reporting style , close to Direct Cinema , which was described programmatically in the book Die Fernsehreportage by the two reporters Bodo Witzke and Ulli Rothaus.

The ZDF.Reportage started (under different names) as a prime-time program, initially on Mondays at 8.15 p.m., later on Fridays at 9.15 p.m. for many years. From the beginning of the millennium, the longer report formats were displaced from the evening programs of the public broadcasters, the ZDF.Reportage moved to an evening before Sunday. The editorial responsibility for the ZDF.reportage was combined in an editorial department headed by Harald Lüders. From 2015 to April 2020 Heike Schnaar was the editor-in-chief. Bettina Warken has been the editor-in-chief since April 2020.
