SRG Programming Commission: Summer series of regional journals evaluated
Die gemeinsame Sommerserie aller Regionaljournale von Schweizer Radio DRS 1 war informativ und unterhaltend sowie kreativ und abwechslungsreich in der Themenauswahl: Zu dieser Beurteilung kommt die Programmkommission der SRG Bern Freiburg Wallis. Der Live-Charakter der täglichen Sendungen liess jedoch oft den Tiefgang und Hintergründiges etwas vermissen.
This year, the six regional journals of Swiss Radio SR DRS 1 produced a joint summer series. Under the title "Next Exit: Regional Journal," the focus was on the Swiss national road network. From July 19 to August 6, four-man regional teams went to each location every day and produced a live broadcast of around 15 minutes for the evening edition, which was broadcast by all regional journals at 5:40 pm. In the preceding ten minutes of broadcasting, the regional news was distributed in each region.
Overall, the program commission came to a positive assessment. The programs were informative and entertaining at the same time; the choice of topics was varied, creative and sometimes surprising. The juxtaposition of regional news at the beginning of the evening regional journal and information in the live broadcast from somewhere in Switzerland was skillfully combined into a whole with the moderated transitions. The majority of the Regi teams received good marks for their journalistic craftsmanship. However, the chosen form of the live interviews sometimes seemed a bit unattractive and the original radiophonic sounds were often missing. In addition, background and depth fell somewhat by the wayside and live interviews occasionally drifted into triviality.
