Westfalenpost (WP)
Biggest newspaper in Southern Westphalia - this reputation obliges
Westfalenpost is the mouthpiece of the folk between Soest and Siegen and from Gevelsberg to Brilon. WP is the people's advocate and tells it like it is.
"Stimme der Heimat - Echo der Welt", "Voice of the homeland - echo of the world": that has been the newspaper's title slogan since it was founded in 1946. With over 160 editors working in 22 editorial offices, WP covers the entire range from neighbourhood festivities to big-time politics, from Sauerland to Sunset Boulevard. Life is colourful - like the newspaper.
Lively stories and informative background stories are among the strengths of WP, as readers call it for short. Closeness to the people, help for everyday life, a good mixture of information and entertainment - all of these characterise WP. Its central editorial office is in Hagen, where it is printed.
Those who want to have their say and want to know what's going on the region must read Westfalenpost. WP's special features include the daily "Kinderpost" for little readers, the "Bürgerbarometer" on the local pages, the Readers' Uni and, for rapid online info, the newsletter "Südwestfalen, 14 Uhr". Extras are presented in WP normal.
Westfalenpost, that is the civil quality newspaper, homeland paper with heart, understanding and foresight. Tradition and progress, young and old - WP connects. It's part of the family.
