story

Beginnings

Newspaper reader with a special edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung after the verdict of the Nuremberg trials, October 1, 1946

After the Second World War , Germany was occupied by the Allies. On June 28, 1945, through the High Command of the Psychological Warfare Division , they issued Directive No. 3, which regulated the admission of newspapers in Germany. The first license to publish a newspaper in Bavaria after the Second World War was granted to August Schwingenstein , Edmund Goldschagg and Franz Josef Schöningh . With the handover of the licenses by Colonel Bernard B. McMahon, commander of the intelligence control system in Bavaria, the first edition of the Süddeutsche went to print on October 6, 1945 .

The Süddeutsche , whose name idea comes from Wilhelm Hausenstein , was conceived as a national newspaper with a city edition for Munich. She took over the premises of the newspaper Münchner Latest Nachrichten, which was closed on April 28, 1945, as well as the editorial and printing house. The first issue appeared at the price of 20 pfennigs as licensed newspaper No. 1 of the news control of the military government east . The license was granted to it as a so-called "important opinion-forming" daily newspaper. A newsreel from 1945 shows how an American soldier puts the lead type from Hitler's Mein Kampf into the fire in a symbolic act, from the melt of which the first printing plates for the Süddeutsche Zeitung were cast.

From the preface on page 1 of the first edition:

"For guidance - for the first time since the collapse of the brown reign of terror a newspaper run by Germans appears in Munich. It is limited by the political necessities of the present, but not tied up by any censorship, not gagged by any compulsion to conscience. The Süddeutsche Zeitung is not the organ of a government or a certain party, but a mouthpiece for all Germans who are united in their love of freedom and hatred of the total state. In disgust for everything that is National Socialist.

The leaders of the newspaper, who come from different parties, believe that after twelve years of shameful servitude of conscience and dictated lies, the common will to be politically mature and clean, to be responsible and to be honest is a sufficiently strong basis for fruitful cooperation. [...] We start on a narrow platform with limited resources and thus reflect the general situation. We believe that in the not too distant future we will also reflect the gradual ascent. "

- Editing and publishing house
Former editorial building of the Süddeutsche Zeitung in Sendlinger Strasse in Munich (until October 2008)

In 1946 Werner Friedmann became the fourth license holder and was also editor-in-chief of the SZ from 1951 to 1960 . Together with the other licensees, he became a partner in the Süddeutsche Verlag , which was founded on July 25, 1947 and has been responsible for the production of the Süddeutsche Zeitung ever since. Until August 1949, the South German was under the surveillance of the US military government, which was considered tolerant. However, she paid attention to the strict separation of factual news information and opinions. Statements suspected of being Nazi were also monitored critically . When anti-Semitic signs the occupiers responded critical.

Criticism of the occupation authority itself was also affected by the surveillance. A very sensitive issue was the coverage of the Soviet allies. As a result of a comment by Friedmann from 1946, Süddeutsche was only allowed to publish four pages per issue over 30 days. The incident generated sympathy among the population in southern Germany . After the relations between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union worsened, comparable articles remained without consequences from 1947. When the new Bavarian press law came into force on October 3, 1949, the intelligence service department of the military government was dissolved.

The Süddeutsche appeared three times a week until January 1947. Between February and August 1947, the Süddeutsche could only appear twice a week due to a lack of paper. The newspaper then appeared again three times a week until it became a daily newspaper on September 18, 1949 .

Further development in the 20th century

The Süddeutsche built his own from 1965 foreign correspondent system on. While these reporters initially worked for several newspapers at the same time, the Süddeutsche later hired correspondents who work exclusively for them. In 1991 a correspondent sitting in a press vehicle in Belgrade was shot dead.

From the 1970s on, the Süddeutsche published its own regional and district editions for Bad Tölz - Wolfratshausen , Dachau , Ebersberg , Erding , Freising , Fürstenfeldbruck and Starnberg .

At the initiative of the SZ editors, their shareholders signed an editorial statute with the management, the works council and the editorial team on August 4, 1971 . It stipulates that the members of the editor-in-chief are determined by the shareholders' meeting. However, a majority of two thirds of the members of the editorial board can block such decisions through appeals or dismissals.

In 1988, the Süddeutsche Verlag signed a contract with the Independent , La Repubblica and El País to exchange articles and for possible cooperation between the correspondents.

Development since 2000

Since the beginning of the crisis on the advertising market for daily newspapers in 2000, the situation of the Süddeutsche Zeitung has deteriorated noticeably. New shareholders had to be brought on board: Südwestdeutsche Medien Holding ( Stuttgarter Zeitung, etc.) bought 18.75 percent of Süddeutsche Verlag publishing house , which publishes Süddeutsche Zeitung , and about 44 percent of which is Medien Union GmbH Ludwigshafen ( Die Rheinpfalz etc.) heard. For cost reasons, the youth supplement Jetzt and the Berlin page introduced in 1999 were discontinued in 2002 . The regional edition for North Rhine-Westphalia , which started in 2002, was discontinued in 2003. 950 jobs were cut. The economic situation has meanwhile been reversed: the 2002 deficit was 76.6 million euros; In 2003 there was a surplus of 0.6 million euros and in 2004 another plus of 37.1 million euros.

The SZ-Magazin became embroiled in May 2000 in a scandal after it was revealed that fake celebrity interviews by journalist Tom Kummer had published. Its questionable relationship to the relationship between reality and fiction (see borderline journalism ) had long been known.

The features editorial team experienced a serious change in the spring of 2001. Initially, four well-known feature editors switched from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to the Süddeutsche Zeitung : Franziska Augstein , Thomas Steinfeld , Ulrich Raulff and Lothar Müller . As usual in such cases, those concerned did not comment on the dismissals. Other commentators suspected that the editors were increasingly uncomfortable with the management style of FAZ co-editor and features editor Frank Schirrmacher . Because this was already the third round of termination under the aegis of Schirrmacher.

In return, SZ editor-in-chief Hans Werner Kilz had to accept an exodus of prominent feature editors after just a few weeks in March 2001. With department head Claudius Seidl , Niklas Maak , Georg Diez , Edo Reents , film critic Michael Althen and media director Alexander Gorkow , a “very closely working group in the features section of the SZ” left the house and went to the FAZ .

In 2001 the SZ wrote about the childlessness of the Japanese imperial couple. In a cover story it was emblazoned above the photo of the imperial couple at their crotch height: "Tote Hose". The outrage in Japan was great.

SV-Hochhaus , headquarters of the Süddeutscher Verlag in Zamdorf

In 2004 the Süddeutsche Zeitung became the subject of local political disputes in Munich. It was about the new building of the group headquarters in Munich-Zamdorf . The building should be designed as a high-rise. However, a citizens' initiative led by the former mayors Georg Kronawitter and Hans-Jochen Vogel blocked the urban development impact of this and other high-rise buildings . An initiated by them referendum brought on 21 November 2004 finally the decision: with 50.8 percent of the vote, the Munich decided that the city no high-rise may be higher than the Frauenkirche . For Süddeutscher Verlag this meant a revision of the plans for the new corporate headquarters. The SV high-rise was finally built with a height of 99.95 meters.

Together with the news magazine Der Spiegel and the newspapers of Axel Springer AG , the Süddeutsche Zeitung announced at the beginning of August 2004 that it would return to traditional spelling, which the FAZ had already decided to do in August 2000. In 2006, the editors of the Süddeutsche Zeitung agreed with FAZ and Spiegel on a common conservative interpretation of the new Duden , which in its 24th edition goes back to the old spelling for the first time in a number of cases and / or "recommends" it with the yellow background . Since then, the Süddeutsche Zeitung has applied the following principle: old writing, where it is permitted according to the Duden; new, where the old one is no longer allowed or no longer listed.

In November 2006, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the FAZ lost a lawsuit against the literary magazine Perlentaucher . The newspapers sued against the resale of the summaries of their literature reviews to the online bookseller buecher.de , which they saw infringed their copyrights.

The Magazin Verlagsgesellschaft Süddeutsche Zeitung (MVG) has been responsible for all magazines and supplements since 2007.

With effect from February 29, 2008, four of the five remaining shareholder families sold their shares in the Süddeutsche Zeitung publishing house to Südwestdeutsche Medien Holding in December 2007 , which increased its stake to a total of 81.25 percent.

The composition of the “Editor's Council of the Süddeutsche Zeitung ” changed accordingly . It now included: Eberhard Ebner (spokesman for the Württemberg publishers group ), Johannes Friedmann (chairman), Thomas Schaub (Medien Union) and Christoph Schwingenstein. The editorial board "determines the fundamental content and appearance of the Süddeutsche Zeitung and makes important personal decisions".

At the beginning of 2015, the newspaper received a 2.6 terabyte large data set from an anonymous source with confidential information from a law firm in Panama, which had set up and managed mailbox companies for numerous influential figures from politics and business. Together with the International Network of Investigative Journalists and around 400 colleagues, journalists from the SZ viewed the data for over a year before they went public on the evening of April 3, 2016 at 8 p.m. and published the data from the Panama Papers . This resulted in the largest investigative research ever carried out by international journalists. In 2017 the SZ, together with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, was the first non-American newspaper to receive the Pulitzer Prize , which is regarded as the most important award for journalists worldwide.

At the end of 2016 it became known that the Süddeutsche Zeitung had entered into a cooperation with the Swiss company Tamedia AG . Tamedia gives u. a. the renowned Schweizer Tages-Anzeiger . The SZ publicly announced that it wanted to exchange skills and expand the network of correspondents through the cooperation. However, at the same time, a new contract was submitted to the free authors of the SZ. He authorizes the publishing house of Süddeutsche to pass the texts on to third parties without automatically paying an additional salary for the free ones. Those who do not accept this regulation cannot continue writing for the SZ.

Because of this practice, the professional association of freelance authors "Freischreiber" awarded the 2016 Süddeutsche Zeitung's negative industry prize. At the same time, the SZ publishing heir and patron, Konrad Schwingenstein , received the association's “Himmel Prize” for his continuous investment in projects that advance digital journalism.

In September 2020, the reduction of 50 editorial positions was announced, which corresponds to around 10 percent of the editorial staff.

Classification as a leading medium

The Süddeutsche Zeitung is rated by journalists as one of the leading German-language media that shape and shape social communication and the public .

In the summer of 2005, German journalists named the Süddeutsche Zeitung in a large-scale survey as the number one “leading medium” - in front of the Spiegel . In the study Journalism in Germany by the communication scientist Siegfried Weischenberg , 34.6 percent of 1536 representatively selected journalists said that they regularly used the Süddeutsche Zeitung to obtain information or to find suggestions for topics (multiple answers were possible).

story

To mark the 50th birthday of the Süddeutsche Zeitung , its Internet edition began on October 6, 1995 under the name "SZonNet". The project came from the SZ-Textarchiv (today DIZ - Documentation and Information Center Munich) under the direction of Hella Schmitt. At the beginning there were no editors of its own, but selected content from the printed edition was adopted. In 1996, Oliver Bantle from the SZ science department wrote the first online journalistic concept. This focus on science went online in autumn of the same year with Angelika Jung-Hüttl as editor. She created the first journalistic content that was not in the newspaper. The editorial responsibility lay with the then head of the SZ science department, Martin Urban . In the spring of 1998 the Reise Journal went online. Wenke Hess wrote the concept and implemented it as an editor.

The economic management was initially transferred to SV Teleradio GmbH , later to SV New Media GmbH , whose managing director was Gerhard Andreas Schreiber , both subsidiaries of the Süddeutscher Verlag . In the run-up to the 1998 Bundestag election, the focus on politics went online. It was designed under the leadership of Heribert Prantl , Head of Domestic Policy and meanwhile also a member of the editor-in-chief. The editors were Oliver Bantle (domestic policy) and Thomas Becker (foreign policy). News, dossiers, interviews and comments completed the sheet. The online articles were under the editorial responsibility of the newspaper's relevant political departments. In 1999 Bernd Graff launched a culture magazine online. The transfer of the former fax service SZ-Finanz to an online business editorial office with Paul Katzenberger, Hans von der Hagen, Martin Hesse and other editors led to a significant expansion of the editorial team.

With Patrick Illinger , the online edition got an editor-in-chief for the first time in 2000; the editorial team was renamed sueddeutsche.de. Helmut Martin-Jung became the first boss on duty. During this time, Susanne Herda and Nicola Holzapfel also joined the editorial team. At the same time, the number of technical staff at the supervising SV subsidiary Süd-Data grew . The increased number of employees and the associated increased need for space led the editorial team to move to rented office space on the Rindermarkt. After saving personnel, Illinger left the online edition at the end of 2001, and was followed by CvD Helmut Martin-Jung as editor-in-chief.

The Internet portal of the Süddeutsche Zeitung (sueddeutsche.de) was launched on December 18, 2006 , with a new design, concept and editor-in-chief. Helmut Martin-Jung was editor -in- chief until 2006, followed by Hans-Jürgen Jakobs , who previously headed the media page of the Süddeutsche Zeitung . In December 2010, Stefan Plöchinger became the new editor-in-chief. After 2006 the editorial team has grown to 25 permanent editors and more than ten generalists .

At the end of 2006, strategic considerations led to the size of the team being increased again under the new editor -in- chief Hans-Jürgen Jakobs . Jakobs remained editor-in-chief of sueddeutsche.de until the end of 2010 - he then took over the management of the business section of the Süddeutsche Zeitung together with Marc Beise. In February 2011, Stefan Plöchinger, who came from Spiegel Online , started his work as the new editor-in-chief of sueddeutsche.de. He has been a member of the SZ editorial team since May 2014 . In January 2018, Julia Bönisch took over from Plöchinger as editor-in-chief, followed in November 2019 by Iris Mayer and Ulrich Schäfer .

Since December 10, 2007, sueddeutsche.de has limited the comment function for online articles to the period from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. As a justification, sueddeutsche.de stated that the comments of the “Suedcafé” members would be “frozen” outside of these times, as moderation was not possible. In order to raise the quality of the discussion, a stronger moderation is necessary. The Süddeutsche Zeitung reacted to a ruling by the Hamburg Regional Court, which stipulates that comments should be checked in advance on controversial topics. It is criticized that the editors often fail to take note of the reader's comments even if they point out clear errors in the commented reports. However, there is a contact form for each article, which should be used for such cases. In mid-2014, the comment function that was previously available for every article was discontinued.

At the beginning of 2012 the site was renamed Süddeutsche.de and the logo was adapted to the lettering of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. A comprehensive redesign took place on November 26, 2012; since then, the corporate fonts of the print edition have also been used for the online presence.

As one of the first national quality newspapers, the Süddeutsche Zeitung changed the mode of reader comments. The comments under the articles were replaced by an opinion forum at the beginning of September 2014. “On the actual news site, trolls often disrupted the discussion. To fend off them better and to raise the level of the debates is the goal, so the editor-in-chief.

The online presence underwent a comprehensive revision on March 24, 2015. Since then, the website has been divided into the three areas SZ.de (news portal), newspaper (complete printed newspaper as a digital edition) and magazine (online portal of the SZ- Magazine). At the same time, the paywall announced in winter 2014 in the form of a mixture of the freemium and the metered model was introduced. Ten texts should be available free of charge per user and week, further articles can only be read after taking out a digital subscription "SZ Plus" or purchasing a day pass. Complex content such as the Streiflicht or Die Seite Drei is only available for a fee, regardless of the number of articles already read. In addition to all online articles, “SZ Plus” subscribers can also access the digital editions of the printed newspaper, which are made available on the website in the newspaper section and as smartphone and tablet apps. The new SZ Espresso e-mail and WhatsApp newsletter , a compact overview of the news in the morning and evening, offers free added value .

In May 2016 it became known that strangers had hacked the Süddeutsche Zeitung's website and stole user data.

Media criticism

Anti-Semitism and the Middle East Conflict

The Süddeutsche Zeitung took a stand against anti-Semitism and other forms of racism from the start, but over the years it has repeatedly been controversial about publications that were perceived as anti-Semitic.

After the SZ had published a comment of Wilhelm Emanuel Süskind's approval in August 1949 on the thesis of the Allied High Commissioner John Jay McCloy that the relationship between the Germans and the Jews was a “test by fire for German democracy”, it printed one uncommented alongside two positive letters to the editor The author gave the provocative pseudonym “ Adolf Bleibtreu ” and the fictitious address in “Palestine Street”, which was then changed to “Palestrina Street” by a proofreader. Regarding the Jews, it expressed regret "that we did not all gass ". The Bavarian police tried in vain to control a demonstration by 2,000 angry Holocaust survivors against the Süddeutsche Zeitung , during which paving stones were also blown, using batons and firearms. Finally, the US military government intervened, ordered the police to withdraw and de-escalated with their own resources. The German-Jewish SZ license holder and SZ co-editor Werner Friedmann publicly criticized the insensitive selection of letters to the editor of his paper "(i) n own thing".

The SZ has been accused on various occasions that some of its texts on the Middle East conflict are one-sided or stereotypical to the detriment of Israel. In 2012, the SZ published the controversial prose poem What must be said by Günter Grass , in which he insinuated that Israel was endangering the "already fragile world peace" with its nuclear weapons and was planning a "first strike" to exterminate the Iranian people.

Several caricatures perceived as anti-Semitic also led to controversy: When Ariel Sharon advised the Jews there to emigrate to Israel in 2004 in view of increasing anti-Semitic attacks in France , this caused outrage in France. The SZ published a caricature of the rear view of a man of similar stature to Sharon, who was marked as a Jew by a kippah and a six-pointed star, raged through a French restaurant and asked: “Why do I feel no sympathy?” Media in Israel and Germany , the Israeli embassy there and also readers saw "the Jew" as being anti-Semitic or portrayed as a " Jew with a star " and protested. The SZ editors apologized. In July 2013, the SZ's features section used a picture by the graphic artist Ernst Kahl of a horned creature, originally published for a gourmet magazine without reference to Israel, with the caption "Israel's enemies consider the country a voracious Moloch" to illustrate two reviews of non-Israeli non-fiction books. Kahl expressed his horror when he heard about this context. The SZ describes the publication as an "error". In 2014, she published a cartoon by Burkhard Mohr , who portrayed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as the dominant data octopus . The picture used various set pieces depicting the “international Jew” from the imagery of the “ Striker ”: fleshy lips, curly hair and a lustful grin. The anti-Semitism researcher Götz Aly accused the SZ of having set the trend for anti-Semitic malice against Zuckerberg with the caricature. When, in 2018, Dieter Hanitzsch combined classic anti-Semitic symbols in a caricature and used the image of the “belligerent Jew” who rules the world, the anti-Semitism commissioner of the federal government, Felix Klein , criticized : “This awakens associations with the unbearable drawings of National Socialist propaganda. Even if caricatures are supposed to ironize and provoke, a red line has been crossed here. [...] With such a tasteless drawing one devalues ​​any justified criticism of the actions of the Israeli government ”. The SZ apologized.

Nonetheless, leading members of the editorial board such as Heribert Prantl and Matthias Drobinski took a clear position in favor of the religious freedom of the Jewish minority in Germany when, as a result of the circumcision debate, a storm of outrage, which was not free from anti-Semitic tones, swept over them.

Economic policy

The Süddeutsche Zeitung is also analyzed in media-critical studies. The areas of security and defense policy as well as reporting and commentary on the financial crisis were examined in great detail. A study by the union-affiliated Otto Brenner Foundation by Hans-Jürgen Arlt and Wolfgang Storz from March 2010 on the subject of “Economic journalism in times of crisis - How the mass media dealt with financial market policy” examined, among other things, the way in which the Süddeutsche Zeitung worked from spring 1999 to autumn 2009. The study comes to the conclusion that the daily updated German business journalism as an observer, reporter and commentator of the financial market and financial market policy worked badly until the outbreak of the global financial market crisis. SZ, FAZ and HB in particular had stuck to an interpretative framework for far too long - the market regulates economic activity efficiently via price, the state should stay out of it - which no longer did justice to the events. “That is why even their increasingly high-quality reporting in the crisis was associated with an orientation chaos. They did not reflect on these deficits and thus blocked themselves from arriving at a new understanding. ”This lack of reflection has turned out to be a real obstacle for society to learn.

A study by Margarete Jäger and Regina Wamper by the Duisburg Institute for Linguistic and Social Research from 2015 suggests that the SZ should report on the Greek sovereign debt crisis in a way that is politically compliant with the German government.

According to information from the lobbying agency Deekeling Arndt Advisors , the German Atomic Forum influenced the publication date of a possibly nuclear-critical report in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. An originally planned publication on the connection between childhood cancer and nuclear power plants is said to have been postponed until after the 2009 federal election . When asked , Heribert Prantl , a member of the editor-in-chief of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, denied that there was such influence.

Copyright reform of the European Union

The Süddeutsche Zeitung was very committed to the proposed reform in a series of articles on copyright reform in the European Union . The editor-in-chief Heribert Prantl wrote that the opposition to the reform “is about lies and ruses of the big Internet corporations. They wrapped the net church with these lies. These corporations disguise their business interests with hypocritical idealistic talk ”. The head of the feuilleton Andrian Kreye saw in the protest against the copyright a support of "data greedy US corporations". The Süddeutsche Zeitung was thus in agreement with all German quality newspapers and the Federal Association of German Newspaper Publishers (BDZV) as well as with over 240 European associations representing authors, composers, writers, journalists and photographers. Their stance has been criticized by numerous opponents of the reform. The reform was passed by the European Parliament on March 26, 2019 .

Appearance

Front page Süddeutsche Zeitung from May 20, 2009

In the early years from 1945 the Süddeutsche Zeitung usually only had a length of 4-6 pages and therefore used a 6-point font in five columns to accommodate a lot of text. Headings were initially set in the Gothic font National , as no alternatives were available.

In the 1950s the Süddeutsche Zeitung received its characteristic appearance with Excelsior as the main typeface and sans serif headings, the latter first in Gill Sans and from 1965 in Helvetica . Some text elements were also set in Times . The characteristic structure of the first pages, with a report on page 3 and leading articles, commentaries and caricatures on page 4, was introduced in the mid-1960s by then editor-in-chief Hermann Proebst.

The metal type was replaced by photo typesetting in 1984 and an editorial system has been used since 1987 . In June 1988 the Süddeutsche Zeitung switched to the larger Nordic format , with now six columns of text. Since 2012, it has been set in the newly developed SZ Text font , which was derived from the Excelsior. Since then, the matching, newly developed SZ Sans has been used for headings .

SZ library

Under the pressure to develop new sources of revenue, various marketing measures broke new ground. These activities, known as product line expansion, were inspired by similar campaigns in Italy and Spain. The most successful, started as a test first in 2004, the establishment was one Süddeutsche Zeitung library ( "50 great novels of the 20th century" on a weekly basis), with branches un was normal manner at the start:

  • Naming of the series based on real rankings such as the time library .
  • Giving away the first volume to every buyer or subscriber of the Süddeutsche Zeitung from March 20, 2004.
  • Very low price compared to the prices usually calculated in the book industry: less than 5 euros for tied books.
  • Expensive public advertising: weekly four-color advertisements and advertising series in SZ and SZ-Magazin ; In the course of the year there are also advertisements in other magazines ( Brigitte , Spiegel etc.), which are usually not calculable for the low-priced “book” product in this mass.
  • Mixture of bestsellers and longsellers (“Name of the Rose”) with cheaper licenses (outdated edition of Kafka's “America”).
  • Placement on the market as a high-quality selection with canon character through editorial put up advertising on the first page and the first page of the feature pages of each Saturday edition, the publication date of the relevant band; additional “editorial” advertising the day before. The authors were the editors of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, who are said to have compiled the original large license purchase list.
  • Use of all points of sale that are available to a newspaper distributor: especially kiosks, gas stations, newspaper stands and bookshops.
  • Cheaper license purchase from rights holders with the argument of the masses; thus reducing the risk should a title possibly sell poorly. 80,000 complete series, a total of more than 11 million books, were sold. In Austria this series was also distributed under the same name, here by the daily newspaper Der Standard , in which the Süddeutsche Verlag held a 49 percent stake until 2008.

Starting with breakfast at Tiffany's ( Truman Capote ), a further 50 volumes were added from April 21, 2007 (each one euro more expensive).

Following the same pattern, a CD classic edition was launched on October 20, 2004, the Piano Kaiser , a collection of 20 CDs in which 14 pianists , including Daniel Barenboim , Alfred Brendel and Glenn Gould , are discussed by the music critic Joachim Kaiser . This activity is also accompanied by radio stations. By April 2005, 75,000 issues had been sold here. The SZ Klassik was expanded at the end of October 2006 to include the century violinists , recordings of 16 great violinists.

With these additional activities, which at the same time advertise to the potential target groups, the Süddeutsche Zeitung achieved additional sales of 26 million euros in 2004 ( SZ of April 23, 2005).

The SZ-Cinemathek , a collection of 100 films by great directors on DVD , was launched on March 5, 2005 . In the weekend edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the current film by well-known people from the film world, such as B. Caroline Link and Volker Schlöndorff discussed. Everything runs according to the model of the SZ library including a free copy at the start for every buyer. By mid-April 2005, 20,000 complete series and a total of 600,000 DVDs had been sold here. (For a critical assessment of this collection, see the article on film history .) In the meantime, the cinemathek has been expanded to include the SZ-Junge Cinemathek , SZ-Cinemathek Screwball Comedy , SZ-Cinemathek Série Noire , SZ-Cinemathek Traumfrauen , SZ-Deutsche Thriller , SZ-Politthriller and SZ Berlinale .

In June 2005 it continued with the SZ discotheque , in September with the children's book series Junge Bibliothek , in January 2006 with the SZ crime library ; the SZ-WM-Bibliothek was published in time for the 2006 Football World Cup , in autumn 2006 the audio book edition SZ-Bibliothek der Erzählers , and in October 2006 the SZ-Vinothek , which sells wine.

A wide variety of books are brought onto the market under the heading Süddeutsche Zeitung Edition , some of them consisting of secondary uses of the editorial work (Streiflicht, reports from page three).

With the Süddeutsche Zeitung Mediathek (since 2007: Süddeutsche Zeitung Shop ) an online mail order company has been set up that sells the above-mentioned objects directly to end customers, bypassing the retail trade.

In spring 2011, the Süddeutsche Zeitung Library Graphic Novels published ten volumes for the first time (including Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi ), followed by another ten volumes in 2012 (including Sandman by Neil Gaiman ). The series was continued in March of the following year with eight new volumes in which crime novels were presented (including, inter alia, From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell ).

Social Commitment

Advent calendar for good works

In 1948 Werner Friedmann initiated the Süddeutsche Zeitung's fundraising campaign to support families and individuals in need, which called for donations in the Süddeutsche Zeitung every year before Christmas . From 1953 to 1959 and in the 1970s Karin Friedrich was in charge of the SZ relief operation. In 2015, almost 5.6 million euros were donated to a good cause by readers of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

House of the present

The House of the Present is the result of an architecture competition of the same name and an experimental residential building on the site of the Federal Horticultural Show 2005 in Munich was developed in cooperation with the City of Munich, Bayerische Hausbau GmbH and the Fördergesellschaft Landespflege Bayern e. V. realized as a non-profit project by the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin .

  58. During the Second Intifada, the SZ's Middle East correspondent, Heiko Flottau, wrote that the Israeli armed forces carried out a massacre with hundreds of dead during Operation Schutzschild in Jenin in 2002. One can conclude from statements by locals that "at least 300 people, mostly civilians, were shot at random". There are also 8,000 missing people. In its report on the fighting in Jenin, however, the United Nations came to the conclusion that there had been 52 deaths on the Palestinian side, only about half of whom were civilians. Around 200 armed Palestinians from the militant groups Hamas , Tanzim , al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Islamic Jihad had previously used Jenin as a base for two years and prepared 28 suicide attacks from there . Israel would have faced the "dilemma of fighting the terrorists, but at the same time not injuring civilians ". The communication scientist Tobias Jaecker rated Flottau's assertions and similar reports from other German media as a "climax [...] of conspiracy-theoretical [r] allegations" UN: No massacre in Jenin. In: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung . August 1, 2002; Tobias Jaecker: Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories after September 11th: new variants of an old pattern of interpretation. LIT-Verlag, Münster 2004, ISBN 3-8258-7917-8 , p. 102 ff. After the former SZ Israel correspondent Thorsten Schmitz had claimed in 2014 that there were “tens of thousands of Israelis who fled to Germany because of the policies of the Israeli Prime Minister ”, Without providing evidence, the German Press Council agreed to a complaint and found that“ the journalistic requirement of factual accuracy ”had been violated. An article in the “Zeit” accused the SZ of interpreting the influx of Israelis to Berlin in such a way that Netanyahu was forcing Jews to flee Israel to the “land of perpetrators” - in the context of Jews fleeing the Nazi tyranny an implicit equation of Netanyahu with the Nazi perpetrators. The text Israel is suffering from its cycle of vengeance , published in 2016 by the SZ Israel correspondent Peter Münch , not only takes up the topos of Jewish vengeance , but also semantically colors information. A study by the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences from 2018 named the title among others as an example of the extent to which Israel-related anti-Semitism is spreading in the media. Julia Bernstein, Florian Diddens, Ricarda Theiss, Nathalie Friedlender: “Don't do an action against Jews!” Solutions in professional educational and social work against anti-Semitism. Frankfurt am Main 2018, p. 166. Even the opening sentence “Palestinians attack Israelis, Israelis shoot down Palestinians” implies that the Israelis killed willfully and not out of self-defense, self-protection or strategic necessities, according to cognitive scientist Monika Schwarz-Friesel . In 2003, a study by the Duisburg Institute for Linguistic and Social Research on Middle East reporting on the Second Intifada in German print media came to the conclusion that it generally contained an abundance of anti-Semitic and anti-Judaistic elements of discourse, although this reporting as such was not anti-Semitic, but appropriate Set "scent marks" that could be decoded accordingly by those who had relevant "knowledge elements". In this way the image of Israel, the Israelis and the Jews is portrayed negatively.
