    • 2017 October 4, Hadmut Danisch, “Warum das ZDF kein gutes Fernsehen (mehr) macht”, in Danisch.de:
      Dieser Vortrag hat für mich schon den Besuch gelohnt, nicht weil ich ihn so gut fand, sondern weil er mir zeigte, was das Problem ist. Und weil er eigentlich sein eigenes Vortragsthema verfehlte [] . Ich musste nämlich direkt an eine Managementschulung denken, an der ich vor 17 Jahren mal teilgenommen habe. Darin hieß es auch: Was ist eine Rechtfertigung? Eine Antwort auf eine Frage, die keiner gestellt hat.
      That speech already paid off the visit for me, not because I found it to be good, but because it showed me what the problem is. And because it actually missed its own point . For I was instantly made to think about some management training which I had attended some 17 years ago. In it had been stated: What is a justification? An answer to a question nobody asked.
