Life Kai Diekmann

After his Abitur(roughly equivalent to high school graduation) and mandatory military service, which he completed on the editorial staff of a military newspaper, he studied at the University of Münster. There he became a member of the BurschenschaftFranconia. He interrupted his studies in 1985 when he began his Volontariat (roughly: traineeship) at the Axel Springer AGthrough the Axel Springer Journalist School, from which he quickly began a career for the publisher, beginning as a correspondent in Bonn.
From 1989-1991 he was the chief reporter for the Hubert Burda Media-published illustrated Bunte, a weekly featuring articles on celebrities, gossip, and lifestyle. After a short detour at the Ullstein-Verlag-published tabloid B.Z., in 1992 he transferred to Bild, a daily newspaper whose status as best-selling daily in Germany in large measure depends on sensationalist newsstories. In 1992, he became editor of Welt am Sonntag, and in 2001 returned to Bild where he became editor. Since 2004, in addition to being editor, he is also the publisher of Bild as well as Bild am Sonntag. In March 2004, the first volume of the definitive memoirsof former BundeskanzlerHelmut Kohlwas published, edited by Diekmann.
As editor, Diekmann is responsible for the journalistic quality of the newspaper's work, which in the recent past has been the subject of several negative media reports.[citation needed] Recently, Bild has allegedly been in violation of basic journalistic principles more often than other German media. The claim that the Bild's offenses against the German Press Codexhas increased since Diekmann took over is supported by the clear rise in the number of rebukes from the German Presserat(Press Council) during this time.[citation needed]
Diekmann is a member of the Atlantik-Brücke, an organization that aims to further relationships between Germany and especially the United States.

Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of the African National Congress's armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid.

He is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela.
