Media Market: Bösel to Lead SWR's New 'Knowledge and Dialogue' Department
The Südwestrundfunk (SWR) is restructuring with a reduction from four to three program directorates. A new directorate 'Wissen, Gesellschaft und Rheinland-Pfalz' will be established, under which a new main department 'Wissen und Dialog' will consolidate several previously separate areas, including science and education, media literacy, religion and life, and a new Dialogue Unit. Sebastian Bösel, currently head of Multimedia Current Affairs in Rhineland-Palatinate, will take over leadership of this new main department as of December 1. His previous experience includes roles at SWF3, the ARD political magazine 'Report Mainz', and as head of the staff unit in the Multimedia Editorial Office. Ulla Fiebig, current SWR state studio director for Rhineland-Palatinate, will become the program director of the new directorate.
Relevant to the media industry but not directly to AdTech/MarTech; a personnel change at a public broadcaster.
