Content

edit

In Presseclub, four to five journalists discuss current topics. In contrast to its predecessor show, Presseclub is more related to topics in Germany, foreign journalists are rarely invited. The audience then has 15 minutes to ask questions by telephone. This interactive part of the show called "Presseclub Nachgefragt" ("Presseclub Asked") is only aired on Phoenix and WDR 5. The program is generally characterized by a calm, conversational atmosphere.

History

edit

Presseclub was first aired on December 27, 1987 on Das Erste.[1]

On November 12, 1989, Presseclub was broadcast live from East Berlin on the subject of the topic "DDR – Land zwischen Aufbruch und Umbruch" ("GDR - Land between New Beginnings and Upheaval"), making it the first West German television program from the GDR.

Since October 2002, if Presseclub on Das Erste is canceled due to a direct sports broadcast, a new edition of the international morning pint has been running every Sunday afternoon on Phoenix under the direction of various Phoenix moderators.[2]

A total of 150 Presseclub episodes were produced, 141 of which include the Presseclub Nachgefragt part.[1]
