=== Media ===
The [[Westdeutscher Rundfunk]] has a studio in Essen, which is responsible for the central [[Ruhr]] area. Each day, it produces a 30-minute regional evening news magazine (called {{lang|de|Lokalzeit Ruhr}}), a five-minute afternoon news programme, and several radio news programmes. A local broadcasting station went on air in the late 1990s. The [[WAZ-Mediengruppe|WAZ Media Group]] is one of the most important (print) media companies in Europe and publishes the Ruhr area's two most important daily newspapers, ''[[Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung]]'' (WAZ; 580,000 copies) and ''Neue Ruhr/Rhein Zeitung'' (NRZ; 180,000 copies). In Essen, the WAZ Group also publishes the local ''{{ill|Borbecker Nachrichten|de}}'' and ''{{ill|Werdener Nachrichten|de}}'', both of which had been independent weekly newspapers for parts of Essen. Additionally, the [[Axel Springer AG]] runs a printing facility for their boulevard-style daily paper ''[[Bild]]'' in Essen.
