Danish Broadcast Journalist Elected President of ONO

Jacob Mollerup, the Listeners and Viewers Editor at DR (the Danish Broadcasting Corp.), has been selected as the next president of the Organization of News Ombudsmen.

The head of DR's ethics and complaints was elected at ONO's annual conference last month in Oxford, England, and it is the first time the association's will be led by a television and radio journalist. (DR Presse.)

Correction:
The first press release from The Danish Broadcasting Corp. (DR) claimed, that I am the first broadcaster to become president of ONO. That’s not correct. I am the third.
The mistake has now been corrected by DR. Nobody’s perfect, it seems.
Kind regards, Jacob Mollerup

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
