About:
Cologne-based WDR station’s programme MONITOR has been one of German television’s classical political talk shows for more than 39 years.
MONITOR’s trademark is serious information combined with a careful background analysis. The objective, sensible and critical coverage without a hint of sensational journalism continues to be in demand.
Implementation:
The goal is to release MONITOR with the highest possible precision online just in time. For this, the complete episode is transcripted word-for-word. The texts are then put online in both HTML and PDF versions. Each article is also offered as a video.
Our work begins after the programme at around 10.30pm, and ends at around 4pm the next day.
Technique / components:
Own CMS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Flash, films (streams), content, graphics
forum, newsletter, articles
Maintained several times a month.
