Glasgow / Berlin – In the middle of the live broadcast, the ARD reporter suddenly grabs the cell phone: ARD reporter Annette Dirt recently attracted a lot of attention in front of millions of “Tagesschau” viewers — now she’s given an explanation for this strange moment. She was searching for keywords on the phone, the 58-year-old explained Monday night on Twitter.
When Dirt reported at the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow on Sunday night, she suddenly said “sorry,” picked up a cell phone and put on her glasses. “I’m sorry, but I have such a squabble on my ear here,” Dieter said at last—and then continued to report. What happened there? The newspaper “Tageschau” on Twitter later posted a statement to the reporter.
“No, I have not been contacted nor have I checked any emails or Twitter between them,” said the director of ARD studio in London. “I just got a crazy bang on this ear piece, what I got here is with a power switch, so I just walked out.” She quickly checked her cell phone again for bullet points. “Since unfortunately I need my glasses because I’m an old woman, it just took a little longer.” One Twitter user wrote: “Very cool TV moment.”
