Peter Welchering proposed to immediately suspend all broadcasts of Jan Böhmermann and task the television council with appointing an external commission to clarify the entire Böhmermann case, including the economic entanglements of ZDF subsidiaries. According to his proposal, the chair should be taken by Anne Mücke, Alex Teske, or himself. Additionally, the program director and the director general should resign immediately and apologize. ZDF should be liquidated. #ZDF #Medienpolitik #Fernsehen (translated)

Peter Welchering wrote that he had been asked for a media-ethical and media-methodological assessment of the opening sequence of ZDF Magazin Royale from October 2, 2026. He only showed a neutral still image of the clip because he did not want to disseminate the representation published by ZDF. According to Welchering, the segment showed a truck repeatedly running over a moped rider and also reversing over him. He asserted that the scene violated ZDF's programming mandate and the relevant state treaties. It was neither satire nor journalism and breached the applicable standards. In his view, it was not an exaggerated portrayal, but rather the visualization of a violent fantasy. Welchering called on the director general, the programming team, and the television council of ZDF to censure the segment, remove it from the media library, and hold the responsible employees accountable. In his opinion, the segment should not have been approved. #Medienethik #ZDF #Gewaltprävention (translated)
