We almost believed that the letter to a viewer of ARD who was astonished by the gender language and that was mentioned at this point yesterday was a personal one - polite in tone, tortuous in the statement, but noticeably different from the shot in front of them Bug that the gender critic got earlier.
But then the first reaction was received from a reader who had also turned to ARD on the same matter and - lo and behold - had a reply whose formulations seem very familiar to us.
Something like: “With regard to gender-sensitive language” there is “no ARD standard.
At the same time, all of the editorial offices deal with this topic and exchange ideas.
An exciting discussion in which we find the whole range of opinions both in our houses and in our audience. ”Or:“ In the knowledge that our language is on the one hand lively and constantly changing and, on the other hand, its permanence is to be protected we ways to meet everyone's needs.
It is important to us to respect journalistic freedom.
With this in mind, the editors decide how to deal with this topic in their respective context. "
This time without inland I
Given the multitude of reactions that ARD and ZDF are likely to respond to gender language, it would indeed be a bit presumptuous to assume that each and every one would receive a very personal answer.
The one quoted here at least gets by without internal I.
And, yes, not only on ARD, but also on ZDF.
The “heute” news was right at the front with the now retired Petra Gerster, in “heute journal” Claus Kleber continued with it until his last day as a presenter.
And also the private broadcasters, unlike at this point in the interview with RTL program director Henning Tewes, may seem a while ago, on broken language.
So it says in the press release for the new program "#VOXStimme", show "attitude".
Monday to Friday at prime time, “someone else with a special and very personal concern appears in front of the camera”.
“The time in front of an audience of millions” could “be used by the speaker as he or she would like”.
The "speakers: inside" spoke "in the shortest VOX format of all time, always straightforward, opinionated and very personally directly to the audience".
Does that mean someone doesn't feel addressed?
A reader (or was it a reader?) Asked whether it will soon also be called “Mensch: in”.
With Vox, we would say, it was almost time.
Anyone who wants to witness the progress of the debate only has to switch on the television or radio or see whether there is any official letter in the mailbox.
