Deutsche Welle Podcasting German Election Coverage

"Internet users and radio listeners can now put together a personal program and listen to selected DW-RADIO reports whenever and wherever they want to," says Guido Baumhauer, Editor-in-Chief of DW's online editorial department.

DW is planning to expand podcasting services in the weeks to come. Uta Thofern, Editor-in-Chief of DW-RADIO, states, "The new podcasting service is the result of collaboration between DW-WORLD.DE and DW-RADIO. We are certain that new listener groups will become interested in our radio programming."

Podcasting has been integrated into the international broadcaster's coverage of the German elections. This includes DW-TV and DW-RADIO reports.

DW-WORLD.DE has been providing Internet users and radio listeners downloadable MP3 files for a long time. One of the most popular services has always been "Slowly spoken news reports," a program specifically tailored for the German language course offering.
