History and profile
The Nürnberger Nachrichten (NN) was first published on 11 October 1945.[1] Its founder, Joseph E. Drexel, was granted licence No. 3 for newspaper publication by the occupying power, the American Military Government in Bavaria. At first, the NN was printed in Zirndorf because it was not possible to find an intact printing plant in Nuremberg, owing to the war damage. In 1945/46 the paper only came out twice a week; from Autumn 1946 to 1949 that increased to three times a week, and subsequently, four times a week. In Autumn 1949, the publishers moved to Nuremberg. It was not until 16 November 1962 that the paper came out six times a week.
The newspaper is published in tabloid format.[2]
