Information sites (in English)

Newspapers/magazines (in German)
.............................................................. |
| Deutsche Welle |
Der
Spiegel |
| Germany's
external broadcasting service, traditionally radio-based but now extended to the web.
Broad view across aspects of politics, economy, society and culture. |
Der Spiegel, traditionally Germany's leading weekly news magazine
for political and business stories, though younger rivals and the internet have challenged
that. |
| Germany Tourism |
Focus |
| 'Germany.
A country rich in experiences!', promises this site, the official tourist website
for Germany and including '360-degree panorama pictures.' |
Precisely the title that challenged Der Spiegel, realising that
information-hungry Germans wanted the news in shorter, more accessible formats. |
| Invest in
Germany |
Manager
Magazin |
| Entry
point to a range of material designed to 'accentuate the positive' about Germany as a
business location. Also a useful reference point for basic country/state data. |
Business and current affairs stories, including a section on
'E-Business and the Media'. Updated daily with news and weekly/ periodically with
longer features. |
| German
Government website |
NetZeitung |
| Probably
not the most promising-sounding site, but clear and up to date information about what's
happening at state level, plus a wealth of background information. |
As its name suggests (literally 'Net Newspaper'), a news, business
and current affairs title specifically designed for the internet. |
| www.deutschland.de |
Die Welt |
| Inaugurated
on 17 September 2002, this site is billed as the Federal Republic of Germany's official
and independent website set up to offer a representative collection of essential
references to German information on the internet. Click here to find
out! |
Possibly a familiar site/sight through the widespread international
distribution of its print partner publication, Die Welt publishes a wide selection of
content daily and its archives are (currently) free. |
Marketing and advertising sites
.............................................................. |
|
| Absatzwirtschaft |
|
| Heavily
slanted towards topics such as CRM, e-marketing and events, Absatzwirtschaft regularly
publishes new papers and research studies on related topics. |
|
| Horizont |
|
| One of
two principal advertising magazines in Germany (the other is Werben & Verkaufen, see
below) Horizont's website offers a daily-updated newsfeed plus archived material -
including statistics and surveys - relating to the German advertising scene. |
|
| Media &
Marketing |
|
| Regular/daily
source, principally of research studies issued by German media owners (as much of German
research is). Beware the pop-ups! |
|
| Täglich Kress |
|
| Online
complement to the established 'Kress Report', Täglich Kress carries bite-sized stories
from the worlds of German print, TV & radio, advertising and internet marketing. |
|
| Werben & Verkaufen |
|
| The main
rival to Horizont (and never accuse either of them of making advertising sound like fun),
Werben & Verkaufen (W&V) offers a similar mix of news and background data to
Horizont. |
