| Submission declined on 18 January 2024 by Spinster300 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Live[edit]
Dirk Ippen was born in 1940 in Rüdersdorf near Berlin as the son of a Westphalian publishing family. He graduated from high school in Essen and then studied law in Freiburg, Hamburg and Münster. In 1967 he received his Ph.D. jur. doctorate. In 1968 he joined the inherited publishing company Westfälischer Anzeiger in Hamm/Westphalia. From 1972 to 1977 he was editor-in-chief of the Westfälischer Anzieger. He expanded the company into a newspaper group for local newspapers and expanded it beyond Westphalia, into Lower Saxony and Hesse. From 1982 to 2000 he was managing partner of the Munich newspaper publishing house and built up the Munich Merkur/tz media group in Upper Bavaria and the Allgäu. In 2002, the Dierichs Medien Group, Kassel, with the flagship Hessische Allgemeine (HNA) was taken over.[1]
Ippen is married and has three children.[1]

Influence[edit]
Business[edit]
Ippen's media empire includes over 100 titles. It is number 4 in Germany in the newspaper business. In this area alone, the group generates sales of over half a billion euros.[4]
Deutschlandradio wrote on Ippen's 80th birthday in 2020 that he was primarily a businessman.[5] Ippen relies on the gitial offers and said: Digitalization is changing the newspaper product from a mass market to a niche market.[5]
Case Reichelt[edit]
In 2022, Ippen plays a central role in the scandal of the fired Bildzeitung editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt. The research team at his company "Ippen Investigative" had spent months collecting many exclusive details about the Reichelt case and the alleged abuse of power in the Axel Springer SE. However, Ippen himself stopped publication. The journalists also passed the information on to the New York Times. NYT reported. Springer boss Mathias Döpfner then drew the consequences and fired Reichelt.[2][3][6]
The German Journalists' Association (DJV) later spoke of a "landlord-style intervention". “Publishers generally have to keep their hands off editorial decisions,” said DJV federal chairman Frank Überall.[2] "... Ippen caused considerable damage with his veto - for journalism as a whole, but also for his media group and for Ippen's efforts to build a journalistic profile." Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote.[2]
