Julian Reichelt’s Nius positions itself as a challenger to the liberal orthodoxy of the establishment press
“We’re giving you a clear promise,” says Julian Reichelt, looking straight down the camera during his debut broadcast.
“On Nius.de we’ll report on what’s really happening in Germany, from your point of view, with your eyes and, most of all, for you… We are the voice of the majority.”
The opening monologue, released earlier this month, set the agenda for Nius, a new German media venture aiming to shake up what it views as the liberal orthodoxy of the establishment press.
The fledgling online-only channel marks a comeback for Reichelt, who was ousted as editor of German tabloid Bild in the wake of tawdry allegations about his affairs with younger colleagues.
