One last interview and then it’s over. Judka Strittmatter has already led it, like so many for geo season, but the magazine will soon be gone. Now just type and edit, settle a final fee, “that will be my departure,” she says. She completed her training as an editor in Hamburg at the Henri Nannen School – “those were great years”. As a freelance journalist, Strittmatter has a lot in common with Gruner + Jahr. “I feel connected to the publisher and the people,” she says, “I know that good people work there.” The clear cut that Bertelsmann and RTL are currently carrying out is all the more painful.
