Do any German readers want to offer their judgments on this. I thought I remembered from the 1970s that some of Springer's newspapers were a bit sensationalist.

Well, IMO Bild [1] is basically the German version of The Sun based on sensationalism.

Axel Springer's biggest newspaper is BILD - and it's like the German version of The Sun in Great Britain. The reception section in BILD's Wikipedia article has some interesting "highlights" from the paper's history:

BILD recently launched their own TV channel. Critics call it the German version of Fox News:

Even Axel Springer's other big newspaper Die Welt is more or less like BILD but with a more serious layout:
