Cologne (dpa-AfX)-The industry service “DWDL.de” becomes the new partner of the online magazine “over-media”. According to its own statements, the GmbH from Cologne participates with 50 percent in Berliner Übermedien GmbH.
The leading media magazines in German -speaking countries that would be operated by independent media journalists moved together, it said. The remaining 50 percent of over-media GmbH continues to hold over-media founders Boris Rosenkranz.
Nothing changes for the readers of both magazines because the two editors exchanged content, but also worked independently in the future. The two different financing models have also been preserved: “Over media” are financed by his subscribers, “dwdl.de” remains advertising.
Co -founder Stefan Niggemeier leaves out as a partner. “I give my responsibility as a partner because I would like to have the opportunity to try things out of over media and beyond media criticism,” he said. “But I am” over -media “not only abstractly, but remain very specific as an author.”
The journalistic idea that Rosenkranz and he had had almost ten years ago had become a solid company with excellent employees and great free authors. “For me this is a good time to give up my shares, and at” dwdl.de “I know them in the best hands.”
DWDL founder and majority shareholder Thomas Lückerath said that it was about the end of two offers that combine in a very range and quality, but are complementary in positioning and financing model ./cd/dp/nas
