Not everything is well in Germany.
The "Stern", one of the big German magazines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_(magazine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_(magazine), took a big nosedive in quality in my opinion.
3 or 4 years ago (i am not sure when this exactly happend) they did a "redesign" - and since then many hard topics and inconvienient stories where left behind for soft topics and lifestyle articles.
I really enjoyed reading it but right now I won't bother most of the time.
They even changed their, in my opinion hilarious, but sarcastic album reviews to album reviews which sound like a rehash of the PR text from the record company.
The most important thing is the picture of the lead journalists at the end of the story and how they "connect to this story". And the guy who writes 3 pages about his cooking. And the boring "I am so edgy and showing two sides of my personality" PR interview with a celebrity. Yesterday I've read one of these interviews with the question "do you enjoy wearing suits?"
To be fair, sometimes they still have well made articles, but many times it is just boring feel-good-journalism.
