The Giessen newspaper is loud self-described "Germany's first interactive newspaper". Since September 2008, it has been published twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and since September 2015 only on Saturdays with four local editions as a free print edition in around 128,000 households in the city and district of Gießen and in the communities of Lahnau, Dutenhofen, Münchholzhausen and Hüttenberg (Lahn- Dill circle).
On the continuously updated online portal giessener-zeitung.de, reader reporters (so-called “citizen reporters ”) - citizens and associations from the region - write and are included in the editorial work by adding their articles and photos, comments and event tips to the range of topics. The Gießener Zeitung renounces supraregional topics and limits itself to regional issues from the Giessen area. A selection of articles from the online edition appears in the print edition of the Gießener Zeitung.
The shareholders of the publishing house GZ Medien GmbH are the Hitzeroth Druck + Medien GmbH & Co. KG, Marburg (Verlag der Oberhessische Presse ), and the printing and press house Naumann GmbH & Co. KG, Gelnhausen. Jochen Großmann is the company's managing director. Most or all of the publishers in Marburg and Gelnhausen belong to the Madsack publishing company in Hanover.
