But it is not at all a problem, assess Mads Brügger, who is kanalchef on Radio24syv.

‘The Short Radioavis’ is an autonomous, anarchic editing. How they have intercepted, what is in the recording, Ghita Nørby, I simply do not, but they have content in their programs, which is inspired by the conversations, the meetings on the radio. And so they have made some satire about it – I don’t see the big drama in it, he explains to Extra Bladet.

According to Radio24syv was Ghita Nørby been made aware that the programme would be sent to and when, which is the ordinary course of business. But she knew, according to Brügger not to its role in the satireprogrammet.

– I think It’s frankly not that she has ever known. But, as I said, I do not see any problem in that a satireredaktion doing satire on a documentary.

Even though it had not yet been sent?

– Oh, it’s same-same but different,, he says.

– it Is not a confusion of facts and fiction, to a serious interview appear in The Short Radioavis before it has been sent?

‘The Short Radioavis’ is a satireprogram. They have been inspired by reality, but it is fiction. It has nothing with journalism to do.

– So, you are saying that there is no coincidence?

– It is possible, but I will have to maintain that ‘The Short Radioavis’ is a satireprogram.

Danish celebrity – 13. mar. 2019 – at. 22:06 Ghita after the disastrous interview: – Away, goodbye

Lars Cable, who is an associate professor and media researcher at the Danish school of journalism, finds it rather objectionable.

– It is largely a problem, to an interview, which has been made into a documentary, are being used in such a significant a satireprogram as ‘The Short Radioavis’, he makes it clear to Ekstra Bladet.

– Credible journalism living among other things, through the contract, which will be made between the source and the medium or the journalist. The contract may not be broken, but it is highly problematic that it does not include that the interview can be used in other contexts, he adds.

He emphasises that the problem is not that you make satire of a significant interview, but that The Short Radioavis’ editorial staff have had access to it before it was sent.

Lars Cable doesn’t give much for Brüggers explanation.

– It is a classic gadedrengeagtigt answer. If you go out of the track, so you end up in some problematic positions, he says.

Ghita Nørby has refused to talk with Ekstra Bladet on the matter. Over for dr.dk has she accused Radio24syv to exploit the situation.
