As a result of the public debate about Ippen-Investigativ's research on Bild editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt, Ippen Digital's editor-in-chief takes a position and apologizes to those affected.
In the course of researching the Julian Reichelt case, numerous women turned to our editorial team and took the courage to tell us their stories.
We have agreed to report on their personal fate while maintaining anonymity.
We couldn't keep this promise.
I deeply regret that.
Because we did not publish the originally promised contribution at short notice, we did not live up to the trust that was placed in us.
I apologize to those affected for this.
