Fishing is for many people a very important balance to everyday life, hectic and stress. It is an intimate moment of peace, solitude and amazement. This amazement is also a thirst for knowledge about the unpredictable fish and their habitat. Amazement always leads anglers to the knowledge of the vulnerability and need for protection of nature.

These important aspects of angling are hardly taken up in the established specialist media. Fish play the role of trophies, for which the angler only has to pursue the most sophisticated tactics consistently enough to win them. Fishing becomes technocratic fiddling and a sport in the most negative sense of the word.

This work describes the values that angling represents for many people, shows how nature conservation is inextricably linked to them and explains the background to special interest journalism in order to develop the design of a new magazine.
