Overview

  • The second episode of NDR's pilot series 'Klar' was originally scheduled to air on May 22 but was replaced with a rerun without prior public explanation.
  • NDR later announced the episode is rescheduled for June 11, attributing the delay to time demands from handling press inquiries after the pilot episode.
  • The series, hosted by Julia Ruhs, examines Germany's migration policies and has faced criticism for allegedly perpetuating harmful stereotypes about migrant communities.
  • An open letter from journalists called for the series’ cancellation, warning it sends a problematic message amidst rising right-wing violence in Germany.
  • NDR has reaffirmed its commitment to the pilot-phase concept and plans to evaluate the series after the pilot phase concludes.
