A heartbreaking love letter to a disappearing medium. "There's always a clever mind behind it." David Wagner on Michael Angele. The Last Newspaper Reader. Admittedly, not every newspaper reader is as fanatical as Thomas Bernhard: when he urgently wanted to read an article in the NZZ but couldn't find it in his hometown of Ohlsdorf, he set off for Salzburg; but the newspaper wasn't there either. So he went to Bad Reichenhall, then to Bad Hall, then to Steyr, and in the end, he had traveled 350 kilometers in search of his fix. Some people feel similarly when there's no newspaper at hand. Yet, no matter how strong the addiction may be for some, the diversity of the German-language newspaper landscape, indeed the daily newspaper itself, seems unlikely to be saved. Something is being lost. Michael Angele (who is also the editor-in-chief of the first).
