Subscription short stories – also digital, please: In praise of the e-book – Berlin

What a lovely idea to give the short story a medium. One that is not new in its form (printed) but unusual in its distribution (as a subscription). Patrick Sielemann from Wilmersdorf offers literature of this genre in small booklets under the title “Das Gramm” (more on this in the district newsletter).

But I have one request: to think about it again, maybe making e-books with the short stories after all, which would expand the circle of interested parties by a group that would otherwise remain excluded.

As pleasant as the tactile experience, the perception of the rustling paper, is (who knows that better than we newspaper people?), those who can no longer see small printed text well because of declining eyesight and who want the comfort of the digital reading with illuminated screens and expandable letters. (Disclaimer: I am one of them.)

And nothing is taken away from the friends of haptics, even if a digital version is released. Just like you can print the Tagesspiegel at any time and read it as an e-paper.

The Tagesspiegel newsletter is available for all twelve districts of Berlin, with around 260,000 subscriptions. In it we inform you once a week in a bundled and compact way about what’s going on in your district. We also often let readers have their say in the newsletters, after all nobody knows Berlin’s neighborhoods as well as the people who live there.
