WDR Currently on tour: Exciting insights into Warburg's news world!

As part of the exciting initiative "WDR Aktuell-Experience News Live", reporters, moderators and editors of the WDR have visited various locations in North Rhine-Westphalia in recent weeks. This tour, which took place in three cities, gave the citizens the opportunity to look behind the scenes of the news business and to actively immerse themselves in discussions.

The tour began on September 24th in Ennigerloh, followed by another stop on September 26th in Hückeswagen and finally ended in Warburg on October 1st. During these visits, the locals had the opportunity to exchange ideas about current topics and to learn more about the processes behind the reporting. The reporters dealt intensively with the special features of the respective cities and integrated local perspectives into their reporting.

A Highlight of the tour was the opportunity for the audience to experience the news in real time. Numerous platforms were available, including the WDR App, various television programs and radion news. Innovative formats such as podcasts and the Tikok channel Nicetoknow were also used to achieve younger target groups and to promote interaction.

Especially in Warburg, where the WDR-Cube was set up directly at the fairground, the response was great. The historic Hanseatic city with its charming flair offered the perfect setting for this last stop. Visitors had the opportunity to find out how messages are produced and what effort is to gain relevant information.

The glass radio studio in the WDR-Cube attracted special attention, since news was sent here every hour. The spectators could not only look over the shoulder of the radio presenters, but also ask questions about the current program and experience the dynamics live. The television teams were also active on site and gave exciting insights into local reporting.

The organizers emphasized how important personal contact with the audience is to create a better understanding of the content and the way of working of media. The citizens from Warburg and the surrounding area took the opportunity to ask questions and to bring in their suggestions.

Such a format that promotes direct interaction and illuminates media consumption in a modern way shows how the WDR tries to get closer to the people of NRW. These measures and events are not only information platforms, but also an opportunity for the WDR to question and improve its reporting by listening to the voice of the population.

For all interested parties, WDR continues to offer various formats and channels that enable not only to consume messages, but also to actively participate. If you want to learn more about this, you can look at the corresponding content on the digital platforms of the WDR.
