The new issue of «Interview by Ringier» is out. The exclusive magazine appears deliberately in print only, with generously staged photo spreads, and offers access to remarkable figures from business, art, sport and politics.

Susanne Walder, editor-in-chief of «Interview by Ringier»: “This issue of «Interview by Ringier» is about turning points and the question of how to carry on after setbacks.”

The conversations in focus

Boris Becker and Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro – their first joint interview On Lake Como, Ringier CEO Marc Walder meets Boris Becker and his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. In their first major joint conversation, the two describe how a life of fame and wealth can tip into its opposite. And how, together, they came through debt, prison and public humiliation.

Mathias Döpfner and Michael Ringier – on friction and what gets lost Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner and Ringier Chairman Michael Ringier discuss power, money and cancel culture. The conversation turns on friction and on what a society loses when it sorts out the disturbing and the controversial instead of engaging with it. The arc runs from Wikipedia entries to the question of how much morality art can bear.

Philipp Hildebrand – on resignation and getting back up The BlackRock Vice Chairman and former SNB President talks about his resignation from the National Bank and about the fact that life does not run in a straight line. His lesson, plainly put: “Shit happens.” What counts is what you make of it. He also analyses the geopolitical break with the past and warns against Switzerland’s complacency.
