16 VOR was a local online newspaper from Trier that appeared exclusively on the Internet from March 2007 to April 2014 and was financed by advertising . It was founded by two journalists friends, Marcus Stölb and Christian Jöricke. After Stölb's departure in mid-April 2014, Jöricke published the print magazine 16 VOR - Das Trier City Magazine from May 2014 to June 2015 .

Online newspaper

Most of the time, new messages were put into the sections Politics , City & People , Culture & Media , Sport & Games , School & Campus , as well as the News section . The articles appeared at different time intervals. Together with its media partner, the online city ​​magazine hundredtausend.de , which primarily publishes regional events and classifieds , 16vor met the criteria for a local newspaper . According to their own information, the editorial team tried to give up-to-date and well-founded reports on what is happening in the city of Trier, true to the motto “less is more” , while concentrating on key issues. Due to the focus on local and regional reporting, 16vor was not dependent on agency reports .

distribution

The private area of 16vor based on the Open Source - Blog - software WordPress in conjunction with inline frames . Readers could comment on all reports in the weblog. However, new comments were not immediately published automatically by the system, but only after approval by the 16vor editorial team. Since this happened promptly and critical and initially anonymous comments were also activated, a new, lively discussion culture had developed in the Trier media landscape, which helped shape public opinion . The possibility of messages in addition consisted RSS - web feed to subscribe or Twitter and Facebook to use channels. Unlike the websites of many classic, printed daily newspapers, 16vor did not offer any “ online community ” functionalities.

Origin of name

The name 16vor refers to the foundation of Trier in the year 16 BC by the Romans .

Media interest

The establishment of a new digital daily newspaper in a previous one- newspaper group has attracted attention in the media industry . Nationwide publications such as the TAZ and the now magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported in detail about it.

Print magazine

In mid-April 2014, co-editor Marcus Stölb left 16vor. The co-founder Christian Jöricke changed the medium and from May 2014 published a free print magazine entitled "16 VOR - Das Trier Stadtmagazin". In particular, popular sections of the online newspaper were continued. The magazine appeared monthly and was displayed in over 300 places in Trier and the surrounding area. All magazine articles were also published online - until December 31, 2014 on 16vor.de, then on 16vor.com. All issues can be accessed as PDF. The last issue was published in June 2015. The magazine was in A4 format and, except for the last issue, was 24 pages.
