DW cuts hundreds of jobs, keeps SW only for Africa target.
Man wird wohl auch die DWL mit DLR/DLF in Koelle/Bonn zusammenwerfen,
betreffs deutscher Nachrichten und Wortprogramme, - ausser dem DWL TV
Programm, das sich sehr an die ARD-1 / Phoenix TV anlehnen wird.
Gruss Wolfgang. (wb)
"Far-reaching reforms" will be done at Deutsche Welle "due to the Internet
and heavy financial pressure". Job positions "rather in the three-digit
range" will be eliminated until 2014.
This is the basic outcome of a closed meeting of the DW directors earlier
this week, where a bechmark paper has been developed. During the next
months proposals are to be made how to create as much synergies as
possible.
epd gathers from the paper also that shortwave will be kept only for
Africa. Elsewhere DW will rely on the Internet and local rebroadcasting
partners instead.
DW's presence in Latin America and Russia will be strengthened while
southeastern Europe no longer belongs to the "core regions". The existing
30 language services are supposed to stay.
The current division between the different media will disappear. In future
the editorial offices will prepare their content for TV, radio and online
seamlessly.
DW expects a shrinking budget for the next years. Even an unchanged budget
of 273 million Euri per year would until 2014 result in a deficit of
23 million Euro due to increasing costs.
The epd report is reproduced here:
