Claudia Schubert: New editor -in -chief of ORF Lower Austria!
A new wind blows through the ORF state studio in Lower Austria! Claudia Schubert was appointed as the new editor -in -chief and will take over the fortunes of the house from this Thursday. At the age of 46, she has already brought an impressive career on ORF, which she has shaped in St. Pölten since 2007. The appointment was announced on November 1, 2023, when Schubert led the editorial team interim. Her predecessor, Benedikt Fuchs, is retiring, and now Schubert is ready to take over the rudder and to bring a breath of fresh air to regional reporting.
Schubert is no unknown in the world of journalism. She was previously deputy editor -in -chief and has worked for many years as head of service for the daily television program "Lower Austria today". ORF general director Roland Weißmann emphasizes Schubert's professionalism and tireless efforts for independent quality journalism. State director Alexander Hofer also praises her experience and competence, which she arms for the new challenges.
a media local supplier
at a time when journalism is subject to constant change, Claudia Schubert sees ORF Lower Austria as an essential media local man. "We have to take people's concerns seriously in the largest state," said Schubert. Your understanding of the regional concerns is exactly what the ORF needs to continue to be a voice for the population.
Journalism in Austria has developed since the 16th century and knows both ups and downs through its history. Regardless of whether it is about the beginnings with the "Hofmär from the Netherlands" in 1488 or the challenges in modernity - the development of a strong voice for citizens is a central point. The ORF has a monopoly position in the TV area and has become an indispensable source of information for many Austrians. Schubert wants to use this influence to further strengthen reporting.
The future of journalism
Particularly noteworthy in the current situation of journalism in Austria is the increasing proportion of women among the young journalists, which is 58 %. Nevertheless, the proportion of women in higher positions is still low. Here Claudia Schubert, as one of the leading personalities, could take on a pioneering role and show that women in the media world can also be in charge. The journalistic training in Austria is also diverse and helps to ensure that there is enough offspring that can continue the tradition.
Claudia Schubert has also significantly shaped the entire ORF sector in the past by its various positions. With a sharp look for details and a good hand for topics that really move people, she will certainly do good business for the ORF Lower Austria. Your previous successes and commitment vote confidently for the upcoming challenges.
The path that Claudia Schubert takes, could be crucial to further improve the quality of journalism in Austria and respond to the needs of the population. With her new role as editor -in -chief of the ORF NÖ, an exciting time of change is accompanied by curiosity and hope.
