Week of the decision on the financing of the state radio. The “Krone” got the opinion of 1200 Austrians …

State radio also has a bad hand when it comes to independence from political interests and reporting in general: 75 percent see party affinity, two-thirds list news.
Incidentally, the ORF state studios fare much better in evaluating the program than the headquarters in Vienna. The answer to the question of which keywords people associate with the Küniglberg is interesting: friendliness comes first, followed by political influence.

Expensive privileges can be found in the old contracts, such as 3 years of severance pay and – despite good earnings – housing assistance. . .
