Impactful Storytelling

Fornoff's departure is a loss for ZDF. He is one of the most experienced and respected journalists in the country. He has been the host of the ZDF Politbarometer, one of the most important political talk shows in Germany, for many years. In addition, he has moderated numerous special broadcasts and documentaries.

Fornoff's departure is also a sign of the changing times at ZDF. The public broadcaster is facing increasing competition from private broadcasters and online media.
