Backstage spoke with its Managing Director Michael Wulf about news and the technology behind it. Michael Wulf Germany - 1 July 2010 Info Network was founded in February 2008, and is one of Mediengruppe RTL Deutsch- land’s biggest subsidiaries. Created from the news and magazine teams of the individual channels, Info Network bundles their collec- tive experience, expertise and infrastructure to be able to produce news more effectively. “We deliberately chose a construct that didn’t yet exist in this form in the market,” explains Michael Wulf, Managing Director of Info Network. “We’ve learned from problems encountered in the past and therefore attach great importance to leveraging synergies without watering down the individual channels and programmes so that we don’t forfeit the brands’ identity and creativity.” One of the biggest Info Network projects so far was the coverage Overarching activities that are equally needed of the US Elections with Peter Kloeppel and Christoph Teuner (right) in 2008 by all editorial teams include planning, schedul- ing as well as rights and license trading.
