Arno Helmut Erwin Scholz (22 February 1904 – 30 July 1971) was a German journalist, commentator and publisher. The daily newspaper Telegraf, which he published, was one of the most influential newspapers in Berlin's post-war years.[according to whom?]
Telegraf was one of the most important newspapers in West Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s. Scholz also established the nacht-depesche as the morning paper, in which he appointed Werner Nieke as editor-in-chief. In the heyday of Telegraf and nacht-depesche, outstanding post-war journalists worked in Scholz's publishing house on Bismarckplatz in Berlin-Grunewald – among them the editor and later editor-in-chief Eberhard Grashoff, Rudolf Brendemühl and Hans Hermann Theobald, who jointly headed the local editorial office, the correspondent at Economic Councilor of the Bizone Hilde Purwin, the head of the cultural policy department Georg Zivier, the head of the weekly supplement Frauen-Telegraf Susanne Suhr,[1] the head of the feature pages Dora Fehling,[2] and the reporter Alexander Kulpok.[3]
