Distribution and publishing

After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the newspaper was re-established as an independent competitor to the Magdeburger Volksstimme , the regional press organ of the SED district leadership at the time . The Altmark-Zeitung is one of the few new newspapers in the area of ​​the former GDR that have established themselves permanently on the newspaper market. In the Altmark district of Salzwedel and in the district of Stendal , the Altmark newspaper has a considerable distribution and is a strong competitor of the local editions of the Volksstimme .

The Altmark-Zeitung is published by the in-house publishing house Renner und Meineke, a branch of C. Beckers Buchdruckerei GmbH & Co. KG. The Allgemeine Zeitung der Lüneburger Heide ( Uelzen ) and the Isenhagener Kreisblatt also appear in this publishing house . It belongs to Dirk Ippen's publishing group . Originally it got its cover part - like the Oranienburger Generalanzeiger - from the district newspaper in Syke . The Oranienburger Generalanzeiger still indicates an editorial collaboration with the Kreiszeitung and the Altmark-Zeitung . The Altmark-Zeitung website is fully integrated into the Allgemeine Zeitung for the Lüneburg Heath .

The main office of the Altmark-Zeitung is in Salzwedel . The newspaper appeared until March 2014 in five different local editions, the Salzwedeler , Stendaler , Osterburger , Gardelegener and Klötzer Nachrichten , the individual editions of which were based on the districts of the same name, which were dissolved in 1994.
