Among other things, the series sheds light on the causes and consequences of the loss of quality in the information media. The aim is to clarify what is changing for those affected, for the audience, for journalists and also for democracy when there is talk of media change and a decline in quality. The series also discusses the value of alternative electronic offerings, as well as new journalistic offerings that have emerged in the wake of media change. And it asks about the importance and value of good journalism.

It was a disaster for the tabloid Österreich that the Sunday evening edition had already been printed at the time of the accident. Nevertheless, the paper reported extensively on the show, on guests and performances, as if the program had been followed closely. There was no mention of the accident or the cancellation. Around 30,000 copies that were printed too early were affected. However, around 90 percent of all readers received the corrected edition on Sunday morning, the publisher defends itself. Writing reports in advance and hoping that everything will turn out as planned can work 100 times. And it certainly doesn't help credibility the 101st time.

Anyone who does not register with the newspaper automatically remains a subscriber. The unusual procedure has met with criticism. The publisher explained to "Schweiz aktuell" that it was not possible in terms of personnel to process more than 1,000 cancellations in just a few days. A pragmatic approach was therefore sought. It is hoped that this approach will lead to a higher recovery rate, it continues: "You have to allow us that much egoism." Of the more than 1000 unsubscribers contacted, 70 are said to have already contacted the publisher by Friday: They want to stick to their termination.
