Abstract
My viewpoint is that of a professional meteorologist and journalist. I have been working in the weather-department of ZDF German Television for 10 years broadcasting weather on TV and I am also chairperson of the International Association of Broadcast Meteorology (IABM). ZDF is a national TV station with the governmental mandate of distributing the whole spectrum of information — from cultural aspects to political news to the public.
