The filmmaker Ina Knobloch, who was already mentioned at this point as an independent candidate for the director's office in Hessischer Rundfunk, has again made her application accessible to the selection committee of the Broadcasting Council.
After “extensive consultation and intensive discussions”, the commission proposed HR operations director Stephanie Weber and deputy ARD program director Florian Hager as candidates for election as artistic director on October 29th.

“After the unexpectedly large, encouraging response” to the announcement of her application, Ina Knobloch said at the request of the FAZ that she hopes to be accepted back into the group of applicants.
There is "no question that the search committee, Florian Hager and Stephanie Weber, is sending two highly qualified applicants into the race".
But it would be nice if your input was not ignored, said the doctor of biology, bestselling author and filmmaker, who received the Hessian Film Prize in 2018 for “The Oppenheimer Files - The Dark Legacy of Anti-Semitic Fake News”.
Her candidacy was known in Hessischer Rundfunk, as was her “constructive will to reform”.
She wants to prove this with the station's “many great employees”.
