Gabor Steingart (born 1962 in Berlin) is a German journalist and the author of several popular and influential books. He was the chief editor of Handelsblatt from 2010 - 2018. In 2018, he founded his own media company that issues news, commentaries, and interviews.

Steingart indicates that "freedom of expression is not a gift but an obligation. The problem are not the critical journalists but the harmless ones."^[1]

Life

Steingart was born 1962 in Berlin-Kreuzberg as a son of a Hungarian political asylum seeker and a Berlin woman. He studied political science and macroeconomy at the Philipps-Universität Marburg and at Freie Universität Berlin. After finishing his university studies he went to the Georg von Holtzbrinck-Schule für Wirtschaftsjournalismus in Düsseldorf. Steingart first worked for the economic magazine Corporate Finance and after that for Wirtschaftswoche. He joined Der Spiegel as a business correspondent in 1990 and became its Berlin bureau chief in 2001, a post he held until 2007. He then moved to the United States of America and worked as the magazine's senior Washington DC correspondent. On 5 April 2010, he became the chief editor of Handelsblatt, Germany's leading economic newspaper. He was dismissed by the publisher Dieter von Holtzbrinck in early 2018.^[1][2]

Steingarts Morning Briefing

Steingart founded "Media Pioneer" in Berlin in 2018. In June 2018, he started to issue a Monday-Friday daily newsletter called Steingarts Morning Briefing in German with a focus on politics and economics. Distributed by email it became quickly the top newsletter in Germany.^[1] Since August 2918, he has also issued a daily Das Podcast with commentaries and interviews of people in politics, economics, and culture.

Works

Steingart has written several highly popular books. Deutschland. Der Abstieg eines Superstars (2004), in which he criticised the country's lackluster economy and the politicians' inability to reform, stayed on the bestseller lists for months. Steingart was named Wirtschaftsjournalist des Jahres (Economy journalist of the year) in 2004. His next book, Weltkrieg um Wohlstand. Wie Macht und Reichtum neu verteilt werden (2006) was published in 20 countries. A revised version (The War for Wealth) was published in the United States in 2008. The former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger described the book as "a lucid and compelling reality check". In his Spiegel columns, Steingart was a persistent and abrasive critic of U.S. President Barack Obama.^[3]
