Junge Freiheit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Junge Freiheit (JF, Young Freedom) is a German newspaper for politics and culture, describing itself as liberal-conservative.
It was founded by students in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1986 as a reaction to as what they saw as the dominance of the leftist 68' generation among university teachers. In 1993 it moved its headquarter to Potsdam, near Berlin, and to Hohenzollerndamm in Berlin in 1995. In 1994, a printing site for the JF in Weimar was attacked with a firebomb, the perpetrators being leftish extremists, and damage totaling 2.5 million marks.
Junge Freiheit has a circulation of 10,000 copies and editor-in-chief and managing director is Dieter Stein.
Among its prominent supporters are Alexander von Stahl (former German attorney-general), Peter Gauweiler, Peter Scholl-Latour, Alain de Benoist, Frederick Forsyth, Rolf Hochhuth, Ralph Raico and Derek Turner.
