As the longest-serving editor-in-chief of Germany’s notorious BILD tabloid, Kai Diekmann set the topics that moved the country day after day for sixteen years. Germany’s movers and shakers came and went in his editorial office, confided in him, leaked state secrets to him. In Ich war BILD, he tells the stories behind his headlines - and how they changed him and the nation. As a media titan, Diekmann was a force to be reckoned with: he flattered, praised, ensnared, criticised and destroyed, he cultivated surprising friendships and deep enmities — and one sometimes became the other. “I was a junkie. And BILD my drug," he says today. An exclusive look behind the scenes of Europe's largest-circulation tabloid and into the raw guts of the media machine. Mod.: Cai Werntgen
