Axel Springer’s Post

As the November U.S. elections heat up, they are set to dominate media coverage in the upcoming months, highlighting the crucial role of independent media in shaping public discourse. The Republican National Convention (RNC), recently held in Milwaukee, has set the stage for this year’s presidential race, with Donald Trump accepting the presidential nomination. Beyond detailed on-site reporting, POLITICO collaborated with CNN to host the CNN-POLITICO Grill at the RNC, featuring exclusive interviews with key Republican politicians. This forum and the combined coverage provided deep insights into the election's complexities, voter sentiments, and the potential policy impacts of the election results. Looking ahead, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August promises to be equally compelling, with another CNN-POLITICO Grill set to ensure thorough and independent coverage. ___ Goli Sheikholeslami Cally Baute Jonathan Greenberger Justine Lore Amal Hijazi Anne McElvoy Kevin Baron Meridith McGraw Victoria Guida Meredith Lee Hill Eugene Daniels II Zach Warmbrodt Alex Burns Paul McLeary #POLITICO #USElections #RNC #DNC #Journalism #AxelSpringer

We offer a range of benefits to our employees, one of which being the variety of the group itself. Why so? Because we promote cross-company career development. So, the more companies and brands are within this network, the more opportunities you get to find your next step within Axel Springer.  For Matthias Braun, CEO of EMARKETER, this also came with a move to the U.S. after he found his first role at our headquarters in Berlin.  With our group-wide career initiative we promote these individual careers within the Axel Springer Group. The initiative helps to understand which brands are even part of the network, what individual careers can look like, and lowers the boundaries for talents to move from one company to the other.  ____ #AxelSpringer #PeopleOfAxelSpringer #AxelSpringerLife #Careers
