Clear cut at RTL and Gruner + Jahr: Interview with Gregor Peter Schmitz – Medien

In his office on Hamburg’s Baumwall, the heat is still high. starEditor-in-chief Gregor Peter Schmitz looks out over the harbor from there. But not for long. At the beginning of the year, RTL and the parent company Bertelsmann ordered a clear cut at the traditional publisher Gruner + Jahr. 500 jobs will be cut – and numerous magazine titles. By 2025, the remaining editorial offices should be smaller. An incision that leaves traces.
