The printed word is the traditional cornerstone of the Munich media industry. Alongside Hamburg, Munich leads the German periodicals market in terms of number of publications and publishing houses. A large share of Hubert Burda Media’s printing activities are carried out in Munich.

Furthermore, Munich produces a great deal of film, television and radio content. In this field, Hubert Burda Media works with FOCUS TV and Burda Broadcast Media. "Munich’s main assets are its universities, the availability of hi-tech know-how, venture capital, a good standard of living and a true spirit of entrepreneurship," asserts publisher Dr Hubert Burda.
