Die Tagespost is a Catholic national weekly published by Johann Wilhelm Naumann Verlag in Würzburg, Germany.
With the takeover of the shares from Echter, the Johann Wilhelm Naumann Foundation has been the sole owner of the newspaper since November 2017.
[11] The owner's foundation is chaired by Norbert Neuhaus (CDU), a former head of the economic department and deputy mayor of Trier, who is also a member of Opus Dei and who was general secretary of the church aid organization Kirche in Not International (Church in Danger International) from 2004 to 2006.
[12][13][14][15] The president of the Central Committee of German Catholics, Thomas Sternberg, warned in December 2019 of right-wing national influences on parishes and church councils and in this context also criticized the Die Tagespost as an example of "some strongly acting church media",[16][17] against which the editor-in-chief of Die Tagespost, Oliver Maksan, said: The ZdK president is apparently trying to silence critical voices about the "Synodal Way".
[18] In August 2020, Peter Seewald, biographer of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, criticized the Die Tagespost for what he saw as a "tendentious and reputation-damaging" contribution.
