Day 5 – CM

5-16-13

 

Today we visited Axel Springer, a media company in Berlin that not only produces media but trains journalists at the Axel Springer Academy.  The group met students from the program, and an editor of one of Axel Springer’s papers Die Welt.  I enjoyed learning about this paper because as opposed to trying to keep papers in print, Die Welt is embracing technology and having success with digital circulation.  It will be interesting to see how Die Welt continues to adapt to new technologies, and if other papers will follow their lead.

 

Tomorrow we leave for Munich.  It’s been gnarly Berlin! I’ll be back again someday.
