Wolf Heckmann
Wolf "Hecki" Heckmann (10 February 1929 – 13 December 2006) was a German journalist. Biography Heckmann came to prominence in 1969 when he was appointed to edit the ''Hamburger Morgenpost'', at that time a mass-market daily newspaper which had been founded ten years earlier by the powerful Hamburg branch of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). The newspaper market at the time was changing, however, as the relentless growth in circulation by less didactically political titles – headed up by Bild – challenged the various newspapers established by the SPD after the war. In 1972, after not quite three years, he resigned the editorship of ''Morgenpost'' amid recriminations about falling circulation, missed opportunities and ill-considered strategy. Afterwards Heckmann commented ruefully, "I had the feeling I was wading in thick mud". He returned to ''Morgenpost'' in 1989, working with Ernst Fischer as a member of the editorial team. Three years after that, when Fischer moved ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hamburger Morgenpost
The ''Hamburger Morgenpost'' (Hamburg Morning Post) (also known as Mopo) is a daily German newspaper published in Hamburg in tabloid format. As of 2006 the ''Hamburger Morgenpost'' was the second-largest newspaper in Hamburg after '' Bild Zeitung''. History and profile The ''Hamburger Morgenpost'' was founded in 1949 by the Hamburg section of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) with a circulation of 6,000 copies. Until the late 1950s, the circulation increased to 450,000 copies. When '' Bild Zeitung'' was brought out by the Axel Springer publishing house as a second tabloid serving Hamburg, the circulation of the ''Hamburger Morgenpost'' declined steadily. Due to the existing competition with other newspapers, such as the 1948 re-founded ''Hamburger Abendblatt'', there was a decline in interest in political party-owned newspapers in Hamburg. The SPD sold the newspaper following financial problems in the mid-1970s. After having several owners, the Gruner + Jahr publishing company ...

Brigitte Klump
Brigitte Klump (23 January 1935 – 10 July 2023) was a German author and campaigner. She was born into a relatively poor farming family, originally of Huguenot provenance. She grew up, between 1949 and 1957, in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) where she trained as a journalist, before undertaking an internship at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin. Here she was mentored by Brecht's widow, the actress-director Helene Weigel. Klump escaped to West Berlin in 1957. Subsequently, invoking United Nations resolution 1503, she was able to help approximately 4,000 East German citizens escape to West Germany, thereby reuniting families divided by the political division of Germany. She later stated that this was, in part, a conscious atonement for the failings of a distant ancestor who had been a noted lawyer in Arles. During a period of religious persecution, he had enabled thousands of Waldensians to escape abroad by successfully delaying a trial, but 4,000 ha ...
