Print Market: Funke adds political pages to free weeklies
Funke Mediengruppe will add an editorial political double-page to all of its free weekly advertising papers starting Saturday, 29 August 2026. Jörg Quoos, editor‑in‑chief of Funke's central newsroom, will personally provide the political analysis and context. According to Funke, the free weeklies reach up to 4.2 million households weekly across five German federal states. The report originated on Kress.de and was published on MEEDIA with a byline from Marc Bartl on 28 August 2026.
Publisher product change that expands editorial content and audience reach (4.2M households) — relevant to local ad inventory and publisher strategies but not a major industry structural change.
