In 1911 Motz joined Rittinger & Motz, a publishing firm founded by his father John Motz and Frederick Rittinger in 1859. Motz took over his father’s place at the firm in 1899 when John retired. He and Rittinger’s son John Adam continued the partnership running the firm and publishing the Berliner Journal. By the time that William John took over from his father, the Berliner Journal had begun to amalgamate with other newspapers in the area eventually leading to the founding of the 1918 the Kitchener Daily Record in 1918.
