The Declining German Press And The Coup d'Editorial Boards
- 5 years ago
The talk gives an overview over the German print media, its sales and its mutual ties. Did you know who owns Random House/Penguin or the Business insider today? What are the major publications and what segment of society do they reach? What are their strategic roles? And what does the Social Democratic Party to do with the supposedly independent press? What is a "research compound" of public broadcasters and newspapers? Who is the last SED party before its first renaming that is now a regular columnist for Burda magazine Superillu? Did a streamlining of the editorial boards facilitate the rise of the radical left? The case study of Wirtschaftswoche (wiwo), a weekly manager and econcomics magazine, may give an idea of what happened behind the doors of the big publishers somewhat between 2014 and 2016.

Correction: I said that I would link up the article with the Madsack article and until recently I found it either on waybackmachine or on archive.is. For whatever reason, I'm not so lucky now. So here is the dead URL. Leave me a comment if you know some archive where it still can be found.
