Stern

The authoritarianism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as his stance with regard to Sweden and Finland's NATO application, is drawing the ire of an increasing number of international media. 

The latest publication to denounce him was the German magazine Stern, whose cover on Thursday had his photo under the title "The Arsonist."

He added that last month's wheat delivery agreement could be a step in that direction.
"The good news is that the Kremlin wants an agreed solution. The first success is the wheat agreement, which could perhaps be slowly extended to a ceasefire," Schrder told Stern weekly and RTL/ntv, adding that he met Putin in Moscow last week.

It was June 13, 1999, and Uli Reinhardt, a photojournalist from the German news magazine Stern was due to meet his colleague Gabriel Gruener at 6pm in the southern Kosovo city of Prizren.

But Gruener would never arrive for the meeting, and could not be contacted by mobile phone because Kosovo's telecommunications system had been damaged in the war.

Tyler Brûlé, editor in chief of Monocle magazine, grew up in Canada in a house full of newspapers. When he'd visit his Estonian relatives on his mother's side, the family would sit in the garden as he perused the German magazines on their coffee table inside.
