You are BILDblog

Love picture blog readers,

We now know all about you! (So ​​not really anything, but significantly more than it was our big "picture blog reader survey" that we in 2007, together with the communication scientists from the University of Bamberg conducted have autumn here.) And now we at least know: You're mostly not women, younger than 40 years, formed and more than three hours a day online. One in five of you comes from NRW, many from Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg. But we read (of course only few) of you in China, Burkina Faso, Israel and everywhere else in the world. Since you have told your friends and family about your photo blog or a link you discovered the internet, you already look a day over a year at least once over for us – and recommends us more diligent. Approximately one in five has kindly sent ever seen a "relevant information". In addition, you talk to others about us and what "image" makes everything wrong – even if just one in three reads of you at all, "image" and Bild.de (and even that only rarely). And almost one in two is to speak also to the entire Axel Springer AG is not good.

Fortunately, your photo blog by a majority-date, understandable, informative, persuasive and entertaining, rather too short than too long and sometimes petty. That we are "ultimately no better than the Bild newspaper" were, fortunately, is hardly anyone. Advertising on your blog picture is not only okay, it may dwell even your not even bad if it were a bit more – mainly to finance as long as we buy from the proceeds of any sleek convertibles, but our work.

You think not because our work can actually help to improve the quality of "Bild"-Zeitung. But that picture blog a critical awareness of the quality of journalism in general and in relation to "image" in particular evokes that you think so. Any one of you has apparently even separated from his girlfriend, "because they are still 'image' read '.

By the way, you have the colleagues from the University of Bamberg really surprised: Even 15 minutes after the start was our questionnaire was nearly 200 times, according to the first nine hours about 5,500 times and a total of 19 666 times considerable completed. This makes the results still not representative, but instructive.

Oh yes, our beautiful simple WAP version for mobile phones is you really care, unfortunately. Read her blog better picture on the computer, right? And if we answer emails from you, you are satisfied, if not (as too often happens), not at all. We're working on, I promise!
