What we cover
Twelve beats: Politics, Business, Cities, Society, Crime, Money, Living, Culture, Travel, Sports, Science and Health. That means the Bundestag and the Bundesliga, the rental market in Berlin and the car industry in Stuttgart, tax deadlines and Christmas markets, court rulings and rail strikes. If it matters in Germany, it has a place here.
Who we write for
Anyone who needs German news in clear English: the international community living in Germany, readers abroad with professional or personal ties to the country, and Germany-watchers of every kind. No assumed local knowledge. German terms are explained, not just dropped in.
How a story gets made
An editor picks the story. A reporter checks names, figures, dates and quotes against the original source. An editor signs it off. Nothing goes live unchecked, and no story is published without a person taking responsibility for it. The working detail sits in our Editorial Policy and Ethics Policy.
