Stefan Niggemeier (born December 15, 1969 in Harderberg near Osnabrück) is a German media journalist . Until March 2006 he was the responsible media editor for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung . He is the founder and publisher of two media-critical watch blogs : the picture blog launched in 2004 and the online portal Übermedien, launched around the turn of 2015/2016 .

Life

Stefan Niggemeier was born in Harderberg, now a district of Georgsmarienhütte in the Osnabrück district. He grew up in Lechtingen and Rulle and attended the Carolinum grammar school in Osnabrück . After graduating from high school in 1989, he studied at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and for a year in Birmingham (England), where he graduated as a journalist.

After graduating from high school, he gained his first professional experience as a permanent freelancer for the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung in his home region. From 1991 to 1995 he attended the German School of Journalism in Munich as a member of the 30th teaching editorial team. In 1996 and 1997 he worked as an editor for electronic media at Werben & Sell , a specialist magazine for the communications industry. From 1997 to 1999, again as a regular customer , he wrote regular reports for the media site for the Süddeutsche Zeitung and was also the Hamburg correspondent for kressreport , the magazine of the specialist media publisher kress verlag GmbH. From 2001 to the beginning of 2006 he was the media editor in charge of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung .

In June 2004, together with media journalist Christoph Schultheis , he founded the watch blog Bildblog , which has received multiple journalists' awards and which has primarily commented on the work of Bild from the publishing house Axel Springer SE , but since April 2009 also other magazines and newspapers. In January 2010 he handed over the operation of the picture blog to Lukas Heinser and initially acted as its editor . From October 2011 to the end of May 2013, Niggemeier was the author of the news magazine Der Spiegel . From 2014 to June 2015 he was an author for the online magazine Krautreporter .

On his website stefan-niggemeier.de , Niggemeier ran a largely, but not exclusively, media journalistic blog until 2018 . In the late autumn of 2010, conspicuous comments in Niggemeier's blog, which are said to have come from Konstantin Neven DuMont , and a critical contribution that Niggemeiers wrote were the main trigger for an affair that led to Neven DuMont's departure from his family's publishing house.

Niggemeier is a member of Freischreiber , the professional association of freelance journalists. In January 2016, together with Boris Rosenkranz , he started the Übermedien project , a media-critical online portal that was nominated for the Grimme Online Award in 2018 .

Since 2017 he has been discussing TV formats with Sarah Kuttner in the podcast Das kleine Fernsehballett . The broadcast takes place via the streaming service Deezer .
