Blog Tichy Einlick

The journalist and publicist Roland Tichy has been publishing the online magazine “Tichys einlick” since 2014. He writes a column himself. A printed magazine with the same title has also been published monthly since 2016.

The medium describes itself as a “liberal-conservative opinion magazine”. The contributions are consistently conservative; The spectrum ranges from the political spectrum from economic liberal to right-wing populism. [5]

In 2016 Süddeutsche wrote about the pulication: "Tichy positions himself seriously, but of course benefits from the Pegida narrative of the “lying press”. He just makes it sound more elegant: his paper, he writes, is "for people who are fed up with patronizing mainstream journalism, who think for themselves, who can tolerate the truth." [5]
