At the end of 2018, a 100-member jury of the trade magazine ''Medium Magazin'' named him one of the "Journalists of the Year" (3rd place in the regional editor-in-chief category). The jury praised Schmitz for developing the ''Augsburger Allgemeine'' "remarkably quickly"<ref>{{Cite web |author=Augsburger Allgemeine |title=Award for the Editorial Team of the Augsburger Allgemeine |date=5 November 2019 |url=https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/politik/Auszeichnung-fuer-die-Redaktion-der-Augsburger-Allgemeinen-id52971061.html |access-date=2021-01-10 |language=de}}</ref> and for regularly making headlines beyond Bavaria, such as with his talk evening with Chancellor Angela Merkel.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Angela Merkel on the AfD, Refugee Policy, and Her Future After the Chancellorship – YouTube | website=YouTube | date=27 September 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUtcAjFRChQ |access-date=2021-01-10}}</ref>

The ''Augsburger Allgemeine'' also won eight awards at the European Newspaper Awards that year.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Augsburger Allgemeine |title=Augsburger Allgemeine Wins Eight Awards |date=25 October 2019 |url=https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/politik/Augsburger-Allgemeine-acht-Mal-ausgezeichnet-id52846501.html |access-date=2021-01-10 |language=de}}</ref>

At the end of 2019, Schmitz also placed second in the "Journalists of the Year" awards in one of the editor-in-chief categories. The 100-member jury of ''Medium Magazin'' praised him for making the ''Augsburger Allgemeine'' a nationally recognized regional newspaper with steadily increasing digital subscriptions.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Augsburger Allgemeine |title="Journalists of the Year 2019": Gregor Peter Schmitz Takes 2nd Place |date=19 December 2019 |url=https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/bayern/Journalisten-innen-des-Jahres-2019-Gregor-Peter-Schmitz-belegt-Platz-2-id56271936.html |access-date=2020-01-30 |language=de}}</ref>

Also highlighted were the new conversation series "Augsburger Allgemeine Live," featuring high-profile guests such as Chancellor Angela Merkel, Green Party Chairman Robert Habeck, Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser, author Ferdinand von Schirach, TV presenters Anne Will and Markus Lanz, and entertainer Harald Schmidt, as well as Schmitz's morning newsletter "Sechsum6."

=== Editor-in-Chief of ''Stern'' === In May 2022, RTL announced that Schmitz would become the chairman of the editorial board of ''Stern''.<ref name=":02"/> In the spring of 2023, it was announced that Schmitz would also take responsibility for GEO and Capital, overseeing these brands.<ref>{{Cite web |title="Stern" Editor-in-Chief Gregor Peter Schmitz Will Also Oversee "Geo" and "Capital" in the Future |url=https://www.turi2.de/aktuell/stern-chefredakteur-gregor-peter-schmitz-verantwortet-kuenftig-auch-geo-und-capital/ |access-date=2023-07-09}}</ref> Schmitz and Thomas Rabe announced their strategy to increase the number of digital subscriptions to ''Stern'' to 100,000 by 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Thomas Borgböhmer |title=Timo Pache Becomes "Capital" Editor-in-Chief |url=https://www.meedia.de/thomas-borgboehmer/timo-pache-wird-capital-chefredakteur-a5f55d39eaf4e2d872ba97b122f72e88 |access-date=2023-07-09 |language=de}}</ref> However, in June 2023, Schmitz revised this goal in an interview with the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' and set a new target date of 2026.<ref>{{Cite web |author=DWDL.de GmbH |title=Schmitz Wants to Sell 100,000 "Stern" Digital Subscriptions by 2026 |url=https://www.dwdl.de/nachrichten/93611/schmitz_will_100000_sterndigitalabos_bis_2026_verkaufen/ |access-date=2023-07-09 |language=en}}</ref> He did not provide a reason for the change in the target date.

In his first year at ''Stern'', both sales and the number of subscribers fell by around six percent.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Title Display |url=https://ivw.de/aw/print/ha/titel/143?evt%5Bmin%5D%5Bday%5D=1&evt%5Bmin%5D%5Bmonth%5D=5&evt%5Bmin%5D%5Byear%5D=2022&evt%5Bmax%5D%5Bday%5D=9&evt%5Bmax%5D%5Bmonth%5D=6&evt%5Bmax%5D%5Byear%5D=2023&az_meldeart=em#views-exposed-form-aw-titel-az-aw-az-ha |access-date=2023-07-09 |publisher=Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V.}}</ref> Gross advertising revenue from advertising pages in ''Stern'' fell by about 17 percent and 30 percent in the economically important months of November and December, respectively, compared to the previous year.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Admin Vorname Admin Nachname |title=PZ-Online.de |url=https://www.pz-online.de/ |access-date=2023-07-09 |publisher=PZ-Online.de |language=de-DE}}</ref> As a result, ''Stern'' fell behind ''Spiegel'', ''Zeit'', and ''Bild am Sonntag'' in gross advertising revenue for the first time in decades in 2022, having previously led the ranking for several consecutive decades.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Uwe Sander |title=Nielsen Advertising Revenue 2022: Spiegel Overtakes Stern as the Strongest Kiosk Title |url=https://www.pz-online.de/nielsen-werbeumsatz-2022-spiegel-loest-stern-als-staerksten-kiosk-titel-ab/ |access-date=2023-11-22 |publisher=PZ-Online.de |language=de-DE}}</ref> In 2023, the downward trend in subscriptions accelerated.

The decline in print under Schmitz could not be offset by the digital business with stern.de, which fell from around 70 million visits in May 2022 to 55&nbsp;million visits in May 2023. In August 2023, stern.de reached around 43&nbsp;million visits, the lowest value since April 2017 according to IVW. In September 2023, this value dropped again to just 41.3&nbsp;million visits.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IVW Digital |url=https://ausweisung-digital.ivw.de/ |access-date=2023-09-05}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=Jens Schröder |title=Online-IVW: "Kicker" Returns with 54 Percent Increase After Football Summer Break |url=https://www.meedia.de/analysen/online-ivw-kicker-kommt-mit-54-prozent-plus-aus-der-fussball-sommerpause-5984aa8bcf94eab7db15fb70089272fa |access-date=2023-09-09 |language=de}}</ref> The industry portal Meedia described Schmitz's style at ''Stern'' as a "much more conservative line […] that focuses on traditional newspaper-making virtues – so far with rather modest success."<ref>{{Cite web |author=Gregory Lipinski, Stefan Winterbauer |title=Will RTL "Stern" Editor-in-Chief Gretemeier Be Demoted During Parental Leave? |url=https://www.meedia.de/publisher/rtl-deutschland-will-rtl-stern-chefredakteurin-gretemeier-in-der-elternzeit-zurueckstufen-d87acf8b1eb4100bc3179a02c8eaaaed |access-date=2023-08-03 |language=de}}</ref>

In August 2023, an interview with author Ferdinand von Schirach about his book ''Rain'' attracted attention. Schmitz announced the interview in the Editorial as "the most intense conversation" Schirach had with the two interviewers, Schmitz himself and Hannes Roß. On the cover, the piece was presented with the subtitle "Germany's Most Successful Author as Private as Never Before." However, as the industry portal Übermedien revealed, extensive parts of the interview were almost word-for-word identical to an interview Schirach gave a year earlier to the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin''. Both Schirach and the interviewers, Hannes Roß and Gregor Peter Schmitz, used statements from the previous interview without citing their source. The visual design of the covers was nearly identical, consisting mainly of a black-and-white portrait of Schirach with a highlighted quote about his depression. In both photos, Schirach poses with a cigarette in hand, wearing a shirt and suit, and both photos were taken by the same photographer, Julia Sellmann.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Stefan Niggemeier |date=2023-08-25 |title=The Double Schirach |url=https://uebermedien.de/87587/der-doppelte-schirach/ |access-date=2023-08-25 |publisher=Übermedien |language=de-DE}}</ref>

At the end of 2023, an interview with Ruth Maria Kubitschek appeared in ''Stern'' under the title: "Could you write that this was my last interview? I think everything has been said now."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-12-19 |title=Ruth Maria Kubitschek on Her Most Famous Role: "The Spatzl Set Me Free" (Stern+) |url=https://www.stern.de/kultur/ruth-maria-kubitschek-ueber-ihre-beruehmteste-rolle---das-spatzl-hat-mich-befreit--34293276.html |access-date=2024-01-10 |language=de}}</ref> According to research by the industry portal Medieninsider, Yvonne von Stempel, Kubitschek's former PR manager, was involved in the interview. Von Stempel was listed as an author in the online version of the interview, but her relationship with Kubitschek was not transparently explained in the article. The ''Stern'' described the listing of von Stempel as a "gesture of gratitude" and saw "no way" that journalistic independence was compromised.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Marvin Schade |date=2024-01-10 |title=Ackman vs. Business Insider: How Axel Springer Is Risking Its Reputation in the USA • Medieninsider |url=https://medieninsider.com/kw-02-2024/19974/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |publisher=Medieninsider |language=de-DE}}</ref>

; Media Concentration Criticism

Since Schmitz joined Gruner + Jahr and promoted its integration with RTL, there has been criticism of increased media concentration at ''Stern''. In an interview with the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'', Schmitz responded: "No one has ever told me: Do something on RTL in Stern." and "I never thought people would accuse us of simply doing cross-promotion for RTL."<ref>{{Cite web |author=Anna Ernst, Claudia Tieschky |date=2023-06-23 |title=Cutbacks at RTL and Gruner+Jahr: Gregor Peter Schmitz in an Interview |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/medien/gruner-jahr-stern-rtl-interview-1.5960010 |access-date=2023-07-04 |language=de}}</ref> Medieninsider later reported on increased media concentration at RTL.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Marvin Schade |date=2023-06-28 |title=The New Media Concentration at Stern and RTL • Medieninsider |url=https://medieninsider.com/kw-26-2023/17353/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |publisher=Medieninsider |language=de-DE}}</ref> ''Stern'' published an "extensive announcement including price tiers" for the launch of RTL+'s music offering.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-08-17 |title=More Than 90 Million Songs: RTL Launches New Music Streaming App |url=https://www.stern.de/kultur/musik/rtl--musik--neue-streaming-app-mit-mehr-als-90-millionen-songs-32636468.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |language=de}}</ref> Additionally, "a news story about the app's expansion to include podcasts" followed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-10 |title="Cui Bono" and "Bratwurst & Baklava": RTL+ Now Offers Podcasts |url=https://www.stern.de/kultur/rtl---streamingdienst-erweitert-angebot-um-podcasts-32895458.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |language=de}}</ref> Under the "Stern-Charts" brand, a monthly podcast ranking was published in the print edition of ''Stern'', "commissioned by RTL+ Music" and often featuring RTL formats.

; Editor-in-Chief of the Year

At the end of 2020, the jury of ''Medium Magazin'' named Schmitz "Editor-in-Chief of the Year," stating that he had proven himself as a wise and empathetic leader during the Corona crisis, regularly bringing the ''Augsburger Allgemeine'' into the national headlines as an essayist and interviewer. His personnel restructuring with deputies Andrea Kümpfbeck and Yannick Dillinger, who launched a quality offensive in digital content in record time, was also praised.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Augsburger Allgemeine |title=Award: Gregor Peter Schmitz Is Editor-in-Chief of the Year |date=14 December 2020 |url=https://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/panorama/Auszeichnung-Gregor-Peter-Schmitz-ist-Chefredakteur-des-Jahres-id58728946.html |access-date=2021-01-10 |language=de}}</ref>

At the end of 2022, Schmitz was named "Editor-in-Chief of the Year" by both ''Medium Magazin'' and the ''Kress Report''. The ''Medium Magazin'' wrote that "thanks to Schmitz, the magazine is again more provocative, relevant, and political. He also handled several sensitive challenges as a leader, such as the internally criticized merger with RTL and the debate over the Nannen Prize."
