PAGE 12, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16. 1 973, W HITBY F REE PR ESS CO)NSERVATION UN. EUROPE AREAS Hamburg, Germany About 25 years ago 1 walked through this city's rubble strewn streets viewing the line of shattered buildings burnt - out industrial complexes, homeless people and untold humnan misery. The Second World War scars we- re visible on every corner. Hardly a place had been left untouched by British or American B - 52's. lit seemed like Hamburg had its death certificate signed forever. But, much to everyone't5 surprise, the great German sea port bas risen like a phoenix from the ashes and proven to skeptics that it can survive on its own. Further, Hamburg is able to compete in the world market for goods and services. The prosperity bas won over post - war poverty. Apart from Frankfurt, Koîn and West Berlin, the once - destroyed Nazi citadel can boast the highest affluence in Western Europe. The stores are filled with goods. Unemployment is praticallW non - exisistent. German factories are operating at capacity to provide goods for their own people. Moreover, Germans have found world - wide markets for their home - based products. That things are booming is indicative of the most modern apartment complexes being constructed ail over town and the higher - priced automobiles which keep creating monumental traffic jams - just like in North America. As a newspaperman, 1 was further impressed with their newspaper industry. While in Canada and the U.S. many a great newspaper bas died due to mismanagemerit and the lack of public interest, here in Hamburg the magazine and newspaper industry is in excellent health. It seems to me that Germans really know how to produce a good newspaper. For instance, take the popular Bild am Zontag or Die Welt. Both publications stress the news quality first with best available reporters and photographers kept busy around the clock. And free- lance work is very much appreciated by Gernamn news editors. Freelancers are often the highest paid journalists in the business. Der Stern pratically relies on freelance contributions. Therefore, today the bild magazine has millions of readers ail over the world while the once - popular Life magazine has gone forever. North Amerîcans could also take note of German newspaper lay - outs and photo coverage. 1 have seen some of the brightest ideas by lay - out artists, well presented in the Gerinan press, HÏamburger Abendblatt is my favourite for an overal - eye - appeal. But, 1 was also very impressed with newspaper work in other cities.
