Publisher & Media Coverage Market: CH Media: Behind the World Cup Scenes
CH Media reporter Sebastian Wendel was the sole correspondent for CH Media at the FIFA World Cup in North America. In the podcast “Hinter der Schlagzeile” he revealed the six-week assignment cost roughly 20,000 CHF, logged nearly 13,000 flight kilometres across six matches, and faced a nine-hour time difference. CH Media sent only one reporter while other Swiss outlets deployed larger delegations. Wendel described advantages and limits of reporting alone, off-the-record rules when speaking with players and staff, and moments of emotional proximity to the team. The piece was published on persoenlich.com on 2026-07-21.
Operational/behind-the-scenes reporting about a single publisher's World Cup coverage and costs; of limited broader AdTech industry impact beyond publisher staffing and content production considerations.
