Schüren Verlag
The Stoke Verlag is a German publishing media studies alignment based in Marburg .
history
It was created in the early 1980s under the name SP-Verlag . Approx. 24 shareholders and participants wanted to create a platform for the publication of books and magazines, especially on social science and current political issues. A special focus was on books on economic and employment policy in Germany and titles that dealt critically with the use of nuclear energy and its consequences.
Started as an "alternative project", the publisher became more professional. It was registered as a GmbH in 1984 and managed by co-founder Norbert Schüren as managing director. One of the first books dealt with the media in Germany in the early 1980s ( Kleines Lexikon der Medienpolitik ) - a topic that moved to the center of the publishing house.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Schüren Verlag has been developing a media and film studies program that today is interspersed with popular titles and makes up the majority of the publisher's offer. Annette Schüren, who has a doctorate in history, has been managing director of the publishing house since 1995.
