"A long time full of exciting stories, important journalistic work, and unforgettable live moments," said Claudia Reiterer in a statement about her time at ORF. Most recently, she acted as the moderator and deputy editor-in-chief of the discussion program "Im Zentrum".

Claudia Reiterer to Devote Herself to New Tasks After Leaving ORF

For eight years and 274 broadcasts, she was in the spotlight on Sunday evenings, but at the beginning of the year, she had to make way for the successor program "Das Gespräch" with Susanne Schnabl. With her departure, which according to the statement is at her own request to devote herself to new tasks in the media field, ORF loses "not only an outstanding journalist and influential personality but an authority in political reporting, whose incorruptible view of the facts and uncompromising precision in questioning have strengthened the foundation of our democratic discourse culture," noted ORF Director General Roland Weißmann.

Reiterer began her ORF career in 1998 at the regional studio in Styria. A year later, she joined the "ZiB1" team as a domestic politics journalist. Subsequently, she moderated numerous formats such as "Betrifft", "Report", "Hohes Haus", "konkret", "Bürgerforum", "Pressestunde", and "Runder Tisch". Among her 2,000 moderated broadcasts are election campaign confrontations and "Elefantenrunden". In 2023, she unsuccessfully applied for the editor-in-chief position for the program and platform teams in the multimedia ORF newsroom.
