On Thursday, SRF presented selected program highlights for 2021 in a virtual media conference ( persoenlich.com reported ). Technically, everything worked perfectly. Dramaturgically, the event was about as exciting as a math lesson in primary school. "My face is falling asleep," a journalist from another medium emailed me. And anyone hoping for intimate insights into the rooms of the program creators was disappointed.
At least SRF seems to have learned its lesson. At austria rcs data the beginning of October, there was a telephone conference about the planned job cuts . " It was a telephone conference of the kind you normally only have with work colleagues," wrote the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper at the time. "Chaos for an hour." Disruptions, heckling, coughing, background noise.
On Thursday, everything was clearly structured. First, there was a video livestream - so interruptions were impossible. Stefan Wyss, head of the SRF media office, welcomed the 20 or so media professionals and, after a few technical instructions, handed over the floor to his boss. SRF director Nathalie Wappler, for her part, was pleased "that so many people turned up"; in front of her was a water glass with a Valser print (a subtle product placement - or can SRF not afford unprinted glasses?). Wappler regretted that she and Wyss were alone in the studio - a consequence of Corona. The program highlights were then presented by members of the management, connected via webcam.
