WILFRIED RÜTTEN (1952-2022)

Media Expert & Consultant

Wilfried was a highly valued consultant to Lie Detectors. He brought a wealth of experience of European journalism and academia and conducted important work on international news verification projects. He was the director of the European Journalism Centre from 2005-2016. He headed the school of digital television at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg, Austria until 2005 and worked in German public and private broadcasting as a reporter and producer (ARD, RTL-Group). He is sorely missed.
