Mediengruppe Thüringen Verlag GmbH , Mediengruppe Thüringen for short (until January 2015 Zeitungsgruppe Thüringen , ZGT ) is the advertising and sales network of the three regional daily newspapers Thüringer Allgemeine , Ostthüringer Zeitung , Thüringische Landeszeitung and the weekly newspaper Allgemeine Anzeiger . The group belongs to the Funke media group .

Tasks and development

Mediengruppe Thüringen takes care of the printing, advertising sales, distribution and management of its three regional daily newspapers Thüringer Allgemeine, Ostthüringer Zeitung, Thüringische Landeszeitung and the weekly newspaper Allgemeine Anzeiger, which appears twice a week in 12 regional editions.

The newspaper editors are not formally linked to each other and commission the Thuringia media group as their service provider to handle sales and advertising. In fact, however, the editorial offices are counted as part of the Thuringia media group, as they all belong directly and indirectly to the Funke media group , formerly the WAZ media group.

The media group owns the printing house in Erfurt - Bindersleben (TA, TLZ, partly OTZ) as well as 29 branches. Until 2013 there was another printing house in the Löbichau district of Beerwalde near Gera , where the OTZ was printed. About 100 people were employed there. After its closure, the OTZ is now partly produced in the printing house in Erfurt and partly in a Chemnitz printing house.

According to its own information, around 2,000 employees and 4,500 deliverers work for the media group. It almost completely covers the former GDR districts of Gera and Erfurt and has a regional newspaper monopoly in this area. It reaches around one million readers every day, statistically every second Thuringian . Competitive newspapers in the southern Ilm district ( Altkreis Ilmenau ) are the Freie Wort (from Suhl ) and in the northern Altenburger Land ( Altkreis Altenburg ) the Osterländer Volkszeitung (local edition of the Leipziger Volkszeitung ).

Since 2010 the Thüringer Allgemeine (TA), Thüringische Landeszeitung (TLZ) and Ostthüringer Zeitung (OTZ) newspapers of the Thuringia media group have been cooperating more and more in terms of content. The internet offers of the three newspapers are congruent and a growing number of articles are also being exchanged in the print editions. In some cities (Gera, Jena and Mühlhausen) local parts are produced jointly and the main editorial offices as well as the so-called regional and news desks cooperate closely.
