ZDFzoom

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ZDFzoom is a documentary and reportage format of the Second German Television , which has been broadcast since May 11, 2011 mostly weekly, every Wednesday at 10:45 p.m. according to the international journal .

The series started as part of a comprehensive program reform in 2011 by ZDF and replaced the ZDF.reporter format . The premiere ran under the title "Geronimo Secret Operation". Other programs included “The Law of the Stronger” with Günter Wallraff and “The Fukushima Lie” by Johannes Hano . According to the industry service kress , 44 consignments were initially commissioned. According to the editor-in-chief, Christian Dezer, it is an "underground information module" with " investigative approaches ", with an "acting author" as the "link between viewer and topic". Almost "all topics - from political to social, from economic to environmental" would be addressed. According to ZDF, the costs vary between 90,000 euros and 130,000 euros per issue, depending on the length of the approx. 35 annual productions.

reception

DocumentaryFilm.info called the “new documentary report format” a “prestige program of the new editor-in-chief Peter Frey ”, who hoped for “a leap in the quota for information topics.” When the broadcast started, “a solid reportage piece on the death of Osama bin Laden” was offered. In addition, they reacted quickly and temporarily suspended theGünter Wallraff report, The Power of the Stronger, which was actually planned for the start. However, the investigation was only temporary, although the use of “ re-enactments ” was due to the “need to replace missing original material”. That is not reprehensible either, “but for reports that are not under such time pressure, this stylistic device should be reduced.” The line “between documentation , docu-fiction and, in the worst case, docu-soap ” is thin. Although the premiere is a "good debut for ZDFzoom", it remains to be seen whether "the format can really stand out from the competition in the long run."

In March 2012, Spiegel Online praised the extensive research of the documentation Mister Karstadt about Nicolas Berggruen by Lutz Ackermann and Christian Esser . It is “the great achievement of the makers to pursue these supposedly social and ecological investments with considerable energy, which so far have not been questioned in critical reports about Berggruen.” The taz , on the other hand, called the format “pseudoinvestigative”: In the film According to the speaker, “critical questions” would be asked, “but the viewer hardly hears any of them. This signal word, like the many 'renewed inquiries', is part of the pseudo-investigative gesture of a format that degrades the authors to vicarious agents, to journalist actors. "
