Probably survival instinct. My grandma’s first husband worked for this right wing paper that was struggling to keep alive. After the Nazis took over it became the premier paper of the region and my grandparent’s life improved significantly.
I guess other papers had the choice of following the party line or closing down.
Just reading between the lines, mozkowski, one of the founders, was a member of a Jewish community organization and worked at the magazine until 1927. I’m guessing he was a moderating influence and things changed when he left.
Do you not understand the phrase or its history? Is there any additional information I could provide to help you better understand what is being communicated?
I’m really curious about why the paper turned so far right - if Nazis replaced the staff or something. Wikipedia suggests it was liberal before the Nazis; looking through the artists they employed at least one was Jewish or creators of “degenerate art.”
Maybe there’s an academic article in German or such, my Deutsch is limited to “Das Kind spielt der Ball” so my research skills are limited here.

May I introduce you to the concept of Gleichschaltung
Basically, the Nazis went through great lengths to install loyal followers in all aspects of life, including the publishing sector.
They did also change the organisational structure of pretty much everything they could lay their hands on according to the Führerprinzip

No, don’t worry, I understand just what’s being played at. But you keep playing at purity politics in the hopes of putting fascists in power.
