“Süddeutsche Zeitung” editor-in-chief regrets the review of its own editorial team. Krach had - in coordination with the works council - had the email and telephone connections checked for contacts to the “Medieninsider” portal.

“Back then, we acted out of the moment and out of outrage that someone had listened to the heart of our editorial team,” Krach says. ‘We didn't pay enough attention to the fact that, as an investigative medium, we can be accused of applying double standards,' he adds.
