TheFrankfurter Neue Presse (FNP; "Frankfurt New Press") is a German daily newspaper based inFrankfurt am Main and focused on local and regional topics.
The FNP was founded on 15 April 1946 under a license of the American military government. It was license No. 32 in the US zone, given to Hugo Stenzel and August Heinrich Berning.
From 20 Januar 1949, Stenzel was the only publisher until his death on 20 July 1964. He was succeeded byWerner Wirthle [de], followed from 1991 to March 2007 by Volker W. Grams, from 1 April 2007 by Hans Homrighausen, and from March 2015 by Oliver Rohloff.
