(Jewish Group) Independent probe finds no evidence of structural antisemitism at DW
The probe assessed allegations that some DW employees posted antisemitic comments online. The experts found no evidence of structural antisemitism, but called for clearer guidelines for staff and broadcasting partners.
A team of independent experts presented their findings on Monday following reports in German media about antisemitic and anti-Israel remarks made by some employees at Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany's international broadcaster.
The investigation examined remarks by DW employees made on their personal social media profiles as well as comments published in outside media.
The probe also examined DW's partner broadcasters in the Middle East and North African region (MENA region) following German press reports that found antisemitic content published by these broadcasters.
The investigation concluded that there is not a structural antisemitism issue in DW, but that measures in training and recruitment must be taken to avoid further individual cases.
