history

With its first edition on August 28, 1948, the newspaper appeared under the name Augsburger Tagespost . It was the first sectarian newspaper in the American occupation zone . The founder Johann Wilhelm Naumann had previously given up his license share in the Schwäbische Landeszeitung . The Augsburger Tagespost was discontinued at the end of 1949. In 1951 the publishing house moved from Augsburg to Regensburg , where the newspaper appeared from then on as the Deutsche Tagespost and saw itself as a national Catholic newspaper for the German-speaking area. Würzburg has been the headquarters of the publishing house and the place where the newspaper appears since 1955.

Until 1993, the Johann Wilhelm Naumann Verlag, in which the newspaper appears, was owned by the family of the founding publisher. In 1993 the publishing house was bought by the Catholic Echter group . With the takeover of the shares from Echter, the Johann Wilhelm Naumann Foundation has been the sole owner of the newspaper since November 2017.

Since January 4, 2018, the newspaper has been published in a different category as a weekly newspaper on Thursdays and also with a daily updated online editorial department , after the fundraising campaign "Save the Daily Mail" had ensured that it would continue to appear . At that time the newspaper appeared with around 9,500 copies according to its own information.

Content and direction

The daily mail documents, among other things, papal instructional letters and pronouncements and regularly informs its readers about statements by the Vatican and other church authorities on current internal church and political issues. In terms of church politics, the paper is conservative; is classified as “right-wing Catholic” or apostrophized as a newspaper “with right-wing tendencies”. Important employees are assigned to Opus Dei , with which the newspaper is said to have been associated for decades. The owner's foundation is chaired by Norbert Neuhaus ( CDU ), a former head of Trier's economic department and deputy mayor, who is also an Opus Dei member and from 2004 to 2006 was general secretary of the church aid organization Kirche in Not International . He is also an Associate Editor of Vatican Magazine .

The President of the Central Committee of German Catholics , Thomas Sternberg , warned in December 2019 of right-wing national influences on parishes and church councils and in this context also criticized the daily mail as an example of “some strongly acting church media”, against which the editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail, Oliver Maksan , said: The ZdK president is apparently trying to silence critical voices about the “ Synodal Way ”, said Maksan. In August 2020, Peter Seewald , biographer of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. , the daily post because of what he saw as a "tendentious and reputational" post.
