Former "Tagesschau" boss Heiner Hug criticizes SF
Former «Tagesschau» director Heiner Hug makes some explosive claims in his book *Fernsehen ohne Zuschauer* (Television Without Viewers). The TV magazines *Tele* and *TV-Star* have already published exclusive excerpts in advance.
The statements made by former "Tagesschau" boss Heiner Hug in his book "Fernsehen ohne Zuschauer" are explosive. The TV magazines Tele and TV-Star have already printed exclusive excerpts in advance. For example, Hug's assessment of the "Tagesschau": It is "the biggest senior citizens' club in the country" because it no longer reaches young viewers. The entire industry is suffering from this problem and the cause is homemade. Hug continued: "Everything is adjusted and balanced, everything is officially powdered. [...] Young people like this court reporting less and less. It bores them and so they dive into the Internet with its fast and free reports." A problem that, as Hug writes, is exacerbated by politicians. They still have a tense relationship with television today. Hug recalls how a female politician said to a "Tagesschau" reporter: "Standing in front of a camera is like prostitution. And I'm not a prostitute."
