[English below] Studio 9. The day with Wolfram Weimer
Wolfram Weimer recently sketched out a gloomy scenario at the book fair. AI could “tear up” the world of literature, said the Minister of State for Culture in Frankfurt. He considers the actions of tech companies from China and the USA to be “mental vampirism.”
The journalist and publisher has been in office since May 2025.
A digital tax to finance the creative and media landscape is his goal. He has Internet companies such as Google and Meta in mind.
The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media was also critical of public broadcasting. The broadcasters appeared to be “leaning to the left”.
Weimer also had to take a hit himself. In the cultural sector, some people see him as too inexperienced and “ideological”.
Before his political office, the publicist was a frequent guest in political formats, including “Studio 9 – The Day with…”.
Wolfram Weimer founded the magazine “Cicero” and was editor-in-chief of “Welt” and “Focus”. Most recently he ran his own publishing house, the Weimer Media Group.
