August Scherl Verlag: Difference between revisions

Generalanzeiger was the name given to current daily newspapers with a large circulation that presented themselves as politically and religiously independent. The credo of such mass-circulation newspapers can be roughly summarized as follows:<blockquote>"News is more important than commentary - entertainment and, to a certain extent, instruction rather than opinion-forming."</blockquote>Nevertheless, the ''„[[Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger]]“'' was said to have a close relationship with the Prussian ruling family, because [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Scherl August Scherl], like his father, was a convinced monarchist. From August 1914 until the end of the First World War, the [[Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger]] also published the ''„[[Deutsche Kriegszeitung]]“, a weekly illustrated paper.''

Other newspapers and magazines published by Scherl were the ''„[[Berliner Abendzeitung]]“'' (1889), ''„[[Neueste Berliner Handels- und Börsennachrichten]]“'' (1894), the first German sports magazine ''„[[Sport im Bild]]“'' (1895), then ''„[[Die Woche - Moderne Illustrierte Zeitung]]“'' or the sports newspaper ''„[[Sport im Wort]]“'' (both 1899) and one year later the daily newspaper ''„[[Der Tag]]“.''

After [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Scherl Scherls] death in 1921, the publishing house was taken over by various owners, including [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hugenberg Alfred Hugenberg] and later [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Amann_(Politiker) Max Amann].
