Louise Fein, Daughter of the Reich

“With these inked words, we can shape our nation. There is no such thing as news per se. News is power, wrapped in a message, presented, told and retold. With this newspaper....I have the power to put into the world what I want, and in the way I would have the masses understand. Do you realize what supremacy, what authority that gives me?”
Louise Fein, Daughter of the Reich
