The ZDF capital correspondents on YouTube

Who will be the new CDU leader? Why is Asia managing the corona crisis better than Germany? And why is Andreas Scheuer still in office?

Answers to these questions can be found in “Inside PolitiX”, the new format on the YouTube channel of the “ZDFheute” news.

ZDF capital correspondents provide insider information from the government district and put a topic into context beyond what can be covered in a short news broadcast.

The journalists report on their conversations behind the camera and make well-founded forecasts - each in around ten-minute videos on the "ZDFheute" news YouTube channel and in the ZDFmediathek. All users are invited to join in the discussion.

In the first three episodes of “Inside PolitiX”, ZDF capital correspondent Florian Neuhann, among others, checks out the three candidates for the CDU chairmanship and highlights their respective strengths and weaknesses.
