Data and Facts

  • 1,750 registered employees
  • Renowned Erich-Brost-Institute of Journalism at the TU Dortmund: first university centre for international journalism in Germany.
  • The special interest magazines Visions and RockHard come from Dortmund

The written word is also part of a lively scene in Dortmund. The local creative economy includes freelance and staff journalists, correspondents and authors as well as the book-trade, publishers and libraries, not forgetting the international translation agencies. They all supply people with information and entertainment. Texts created and edited in Dortmund go out to the people of the region and the whole world. In addition to the daily media, successful national magazines and lifestyle journals are produced and published here.

Reading culture is supported not only by the numerous bookstores in the city but also by the libraries—from the well-stocked City and State Library to the specialized archives and smaller libraries in the suburbs.
