Opinions

An attack on Fritz von Weizsäcker, the son of former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker, made numerous headlines and media reports on the night of November 19th to 20th, 2019. The Tagesschau initially reported very cautiously about the crime. Bornheim said later: "The editors of the Tagesschau are always cautious when it comes to violent crimes, as long as the background is not clarified and it does not result in a socio-political dimension. ..." [4]

Up from of 2023, the Tagesschau introduced a “correction page” on which it corrects errors in content. Bornheim is clearly in favor of this transparency in his own work. [5]
