Axel Springer announces funding concept for "creative lateral thinkers"

Axel Springer Verlag will publish the literary magazine "Der Freund" for the last time on June 15, 2006. However, the publisher is already announcing a new promotion concept for "creative lateral thinkers" for the fall of 2006. After eight issues of "Der Freund", the results have been consistently positive, explains Andreas Wiele, Director of Magazines and International Affairs at Axel Springer. For this reason, the company wants to continue to support ideas in print and online that are characterized by unusual, surprising creativity. "We will present a corresponding funding concept in the fall," Wiele announced.
