During a De Nieuws BV broadcast, Kee spoke about the situation while still working for Pauw & Witteman. The editors of the two programs sat next to each other in the Amsterdam studio. “People at DWDD either dropped out or dropped out and then came to us,” says Kee.
According to Kee, Pauw & Witteman’s later editors then asked questions in the final editorial consultation, why so many people dropped out of DWDD. “That said something about the working atmosphere.”
“Battles Heated”
There was “an atmosphere of competition” between the two editors, Kee says. According to him, “heated battles” took place for the guests. “The proportions were pretty sharp.”
It is unclear when exactly the meeting took place. But that must have been before May 2014, as Pauw & Witteman stopped then.
Last week, the Volkskrant came out with an investigation into transgressive behavior at DWDD. The former employees of the program spoke, among other things, about the angry outbursts of the presenter Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.
