Digital media

The freelance journalist Wilfried J. Klein, who lives in Heuchelheim, is responsible for a number of special-interest offers and local online magazines, mainly in the central Hessian core region around Gießen, Wetzlar and Marburg with the regional platform "Mittelhessen Digital". Mittelhessen Digital uses the latest blog technologies.
Triggered by the online day of the German Association of Journalists in 2009 and the Heddesheim blog by the freelance journalist Hardy Prothmann presented there, an offer by the freelance journalist Christoph von Gallera from Biebertal started with the Mittelhessenblog in January 2010. The blog aims at all five central Hessian districts and focuses on all topics related to sustainability, the environment, renewable energies as well as cultural and historical events. In terms of orientation, the Mittelhessenblog represents a regional magazine approach.
Since November 2009 the Weilburger Nachrichten of the Weilburg publicist Karl-Josef Schäfer has been online. Like the Heddesheim blog, the Weilburger Nachrichten is a classic local journalistic offering.
