Constantin Schreiber: Emotional Farewell from Tagesschau and Polarizing New Start at Axel Springer!

After a week of digital detox, Constantin Schreiber spoke out personally. In a detailed statement on Facebook, he shared his thoughts and feelings about his "Tagesschau" farewell and his move to Axel Springer. He read the many, many responses and comments – and they were quite something.

Why his new job polarizes

The reactions to Schreiber's career change were anything but uniform. While many fans wished him luck and were happy that he would return to his "core topics" and "report and analyze" himself, there was also loud criticism. One question in particular was in the air: "Why Axel Springer?" Schreiber himself was not surprised by this, as the risk of polarization was clear to him from the start.

Constantin Schreiber strikes back: Scandals?

Some critics threw the question of "scandals" at the new media house at him. Schreiber's retort was not long in coming: "Do we want to start listing the scandals of individual German media and offset them against each other? Seriously? Even those at Spiegel, ARD, and ZDF? Where should such a confrontation end?" A clear statement that makes it clear he will not be cornered.

The True Reasons for the Change

So what is really behind this decision that is causing such a stir? Constantin Schreiber cites profound personal and global reasons. He speaks of the "historical reordering of the world" and the shift in global power. The "era of the West" seems to be ending – a thought that prompted him to take this step.

The Changing Media World

Another central point for Schreiber is the transformation of the media industry itself. Digitalization has long taken place alongside traditional formats like TV and radio, but now it is taking over our entire media consumption. He finds it absolutely right that Axel Springer is "aggressively tackling" this change.

The Big Goal: Explain and Shape the World

For Constantin Schreiber, the future is clear: he wants to "shape" and "explain the world" – and with a clear international focus. He sees this as a "great opportunity" that he is very excited about. A farewell that is also a new beginning and will surely provide us with many exciting insights.
