Funke Media Group takes over Edition F

In August, the feminist magazine filed for bankruptcy. Now the future is clear: Edition F will become an organizational part of Funke's Lifestyle segment.

Funke Mediengruppe is taking over the feminist media brand Edition F, founded in 2014, after it had to file for insolvency in August. Funke is not disclosing a purchase price. Edition F includes an online magazine, various newsletters and social media channels, all of which will continue to operate. The "Female Future Force Day," which takes place once a year in Berlin with around 3,000 participants, will also continue.

Edition F will thus become part of Funke's Lifestyle segment. Brands such as Donna, Gofeminin and Myself are also organized there. The media group is also responsible for marketing. This project will be managed by Katharina Seifert and Nicole Bielicke, who have also managed other women's magazines for Funke Mediengruppe.

Anne-Kathrin Heier will remain part of Edition F as Editorial Lead. "With her, we have been able to win over a high-caliber journalist with an excellent network," says Barbara Brehm, Managing Director of Funke Lifestyle, about the personnel move. Thus, the content focus on feminist topics at Edition F is also to remain untouched. "We're not perfect yet, but we want to make our contribution to a more diverse, more equal world," says Bianca Pohlmann, managing director of Funke Zeitschriften. "Internally and externally."
