<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Liebe Kolleginnen
und Kollegen,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><i>(English version
below)</i></span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">während die Welt
weiterhin mit COVID-19 ringt, kämpfen Medienorganisationen mit mehr Herausforderungen
denn je. Viele Nachrichtenredaktionen haben traditionelle Einnahmequellen
verloren, erhebliche Personalkürzungen vorgenommen oder mussten mitunter
sogar vollständig schließen. Obwohl wir nicht geplant hatten diese Publikation
während einer weltweiten Pandemie zu launchen, könnte dieses Handbuch für
viele Medienorganisationen genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt kommen.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Die neue Publikation
der DW Akademie </span><a href="https://www.dw.com/en/from-start-to-success-new-handbook-to-support-startups-striving-for-media-viability/a-54856371"><span style=" font-size:10pt;color:blue;font-family:sans-serif"><u>„<b>From
start to success — a handbook for digital media entrepreneurs</u></b><u>“</u></span></a><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">
ist ein praktischer Leitfaden für Gründer*innen aus aller Welt, die ihr
digitales Medienunternehmen nachhaltig führen und dabei dem Qualitätsjournalismus
treu bleiben wollen. Um dies zu erreichen, stellt das Handbuch einen dreistufigen
Ansatz vor: Start-, Wachstums- und Überlebensfähigkeitsphase.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Die Publikation
ist insofern einzigartig, als sie von Medien-Startups selbst verfasst wurde
und die Erkenntnisse von 21 digitalen Pionieren aus 18 verschiedenen Ländern
präsentiert – darunter das bekannte philippinische Nachrichtenportal „Rappler“,
die unabhänigige Internetzeitung „Mada Masr“ aus Ägypten und das erfolgreiche
mexikanische Startup „Animal Politico“.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Die Seiten sind
voller Informationen, die sich die aufgeführten Medien-Startups in der
Anfangsphase selbst gewünscht hätten. Es zeigt wichtige Lernerfahrungen
auf, enthält praktische Tipps für ein erfolgreiches Wachstum und geht der
Frage nach, wie der Erfolg einer jungen Medienorganisation aufrechterhalten
werden kann.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Die letzten Monate
waren für den Journalismus besonders herausfordernd. Wir hoffen, dieses
Handbuch liefert Medien-Startups in aller Welt die Unterstützung und Inspiration,
die sie in dieser schwierigen Zeit benötigen.</span>

<div><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear colleagues,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">As the world continues
to grapple with COVID-19, young media outlets are struggling more than
ever. Many have lost traditional revenue streams such as advertising and,
as a result, have had to cut back on staff or even close down. Although
we did not envision this global crisis at the time of production, the handbook
might come just at the right time for media organizations all over the
world fighting for survival during this challenging time.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">DW Akademie's
new publication, </span><a href="https://www.dw.com/en/from-start-to-success-new-handbook-to-support-startups-striving-for-media-viability/a-54856371"><span style=" font-size:10pt;color:blue;font-family:sans-serif"><b><u>'From
start to success — a handbook for digital media entrepreneurs</u></b><u>'</u></span></a><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">,
is a practical guide for digital media entrepreneurs from all corners of
the globe, who have founded a media outlet and are seeking sustainability
whilst staying true to quality journalism. To achieve this, the handbook
presents a three-step approach: the start phase, growth phase and the media
viability phase.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">This publication
is unique in that it has been written by media startups themselves and
presents the learnings of 21 digital pioneers from 18 different countries
including the Philippines' <i>Rappler</i>, Egypt's <i>Mada Masr</i> and
<i>Animal Politico</i> in Mexico. The pages are filled with tips and information
these media startups wished they had when they first started out. It includes
lessons learned, advice for successful growth and perhaps most importantly,
how to sustain a media startup's success.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The last few months
have been particularly tough for journalism. We hope that this handbook
can assist in providing the support and inspiration that media startups
need during this challenging time.</span>
