Barbara Salesch: The TV business is harder than the judiciary
TV judge Barbara Salesch got to know two worlds in her career: the world of dishes and that of the television stations. Her judgment, where a rougher wind blows, is relatively clear.
TV judge Barbara Salesch has noticed big differences between the television industry and the German judiciary system. “I tend to say: The television business is tougher than the judiciary,” said the 75-year-old of the German Press Agency. “Fortunately, there is a certain security in the German judiciary system.” The state guarantees that judges and prosecutors could work well and unaffected, Salesch continues. This also leads to a serenity.
More pressure in the media world
On the other hand, a sharper wind is sometimes blowing on TV. “Television – at least private television – has to make money. That is just that,” said Salesch. “And this quickly raises the thumb or lowered.”
The 75-year-old, born in Ettlingen near Karlsruhe, knows both worlds very well. Before her television job, she was a lawyer at the Hamburg Regional Court. At the end of the 1990s, she then triggered the big boom of court shows with the show “Judge Barbara Salesch” (Sat.1). In the meantime, Salesch, who lives on a courtyard in East Westphalia, is in use for RTL. The broadcaster is currently running “Barbara Salesch – the Criminal Court” in the afternoon.
Primetime special planned in June
A prime time special will soon be added. “Barbara Salesch – the greatest process of her life: the dead in the Rhine” runs on June 10th at 8:15 p.m.
