Julian Reichelt

Julian Reichelt was editor-in-chief of Bild, Germany's highest-circulation tabloid newspaper, until 2021. His tenure ended abruptly following allegations of abuse of power and inappropriate behavior, leading to his departure from Axel Springer. After leaving Bild, Reichelt founded Rome Medien GmbH and established the format Achtung, Reichelt! in 2022 with financial support from entrepreneur Frank Gotthardt.
Reichelt subsequently entered into a business partnership with entrepreneur Frank Gotthardt, who became the majority shareholder and financier of Nius, the alternative media platform on which Achtung, Reichelt! is now hosted as one of its core formats. The show appears several times weekly on YouTube, the Nius website, and other digital channels, combining Reichelt's personal commentary on current political events with interviews and discussions, characterized by a deliberately provocative and controversial right-wing conservative tone.
The format is highly polarizing: critics accuse Reichelt of right-wing populism and oversimplification, while supporters appreciate his unconventional, oppositional stance toward traditional media outlets. The content is migration-critical, addresses economic policy issues including inflation and deindustrialization, and frequently incorporates positions and rhetoric associated with the far right.
