The History of Newspaper News Media

Over 4700 daily and weekly newspapers were published annually in Germany, more newspapers than in any other industrialized nation with a total circulation of 25 million. Although Berlin was the press capital, small town presses dominated newspaper circulation, 81% of all German newspapers are locally owned. So basically while the most famous papers are newspapers that are like, you know, traditional newspapers or magazines or whatever, the majority of papers by number are just like some weirdo with a very specific axe to grind.
