Tichys Einblick

What Tichys Einblick does

Tichys Einblick GmbH is a privately held German online opinion magazine (liberal-conservative editorial stance) that publishes daily political, economic, and cultural commentary in German. Founded and led by Roland Tichy as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer), the company is registered at Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main (HRB 102959) and headquartered at Alfred-Herrhausen-Allee 3-5, Eschborn, Germany. Its primary audience is German-speaking readers seeking conservative perspectives on German and European politics, immigration, climate policy, EU integration, and cultural affairs, often positioned against mainstream German media coverage. The publication is a member of the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA).

The product portfolio is built on a WordPress CMS publishing platform and spans multiple formats: the core tichyseinblick.de website with regular columnist brands, the Daili|es|sentials daily newsletter distributed via MailChimp, audio podcasts (Tichys Börsenwecker, TE Wecker) hosted on SoundCloud, video interviews and the 'Lage der Nation' format embedded via YouTube, and the monthly Tichys Einblick print/PDF magazine (Einblick-Abo) distributed via tichy-magazin.de, MyKiosk retail, and the online shop at live.tichyseinblick.shop. Supporting integrations include Google Analytics, INFOnline (IVW/SZMnG audience measurement), VG WORT copyright tracking, Taboola content recommendations, BusinessAd/Ströer programmatic advertising, and reCAPTCHA.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and reader-supported, with revenue drawn from four streams: voluntary reader donations and recurring support contributions at €5/€10/€15 tiers (processed via PayPal, Stripe, SEPA direct debit, or bank transfer), print magazine subscriptions (Einblick-Abo), online advertising inventory managed by Business Advertising GmbH (BusinessAd, Düsseldorf) including sponsored content, and one-time merchandise/book sales through the live shop. With 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or parent company, ownership is concentrated with founder Roland Tichy.
