Have a look at this page (local newspaper).
OK, it's most likely a colour space issue but still.

Ah, that's another possibility.
I thought that that they possibly used the same photos that are calibrated correctly for newsprint but will look awful on screen?

Neither of these explanations is quite sufficient to explain what I'm seeing. If the monitor had a faulty green channel then their whites would be off, which they aren't.

Holger Grießhammer is the worst. Pulling the Saturation slider down to -40 makes him look nearly human, but still quite pink. Pulling the green slider up to +40 as well is sufficient to approximately correct the photo.

The saturation I can just about explain as compensating for a very desaturating print process (cheap, nasty newspaper). The colour space distortion is just weird, though. Possibly they have a piece of hardware somewhere with its colour profile set to farcical values by mistake.

Oh dear.
I'm actually tempted to write to them.
