As we reported on Thursday, Axel Springer will be divided into two parts: media and advertising. The company that publishes “Bild”, “Welt”, Politico and Business Insider and is one of the owners of RASP will again be completely in the hands of the German owners (Friede Springer and Mathias Döpfner), while the American fund (KKR) will control the more valuable advertising business.
