Spiegel really is best-informed. Their archives are famous. Best of all: they provide a public free(!!!) search-engine, where you can browse all articles published as in the magazine as in the web. Political trend is "liberal-conservative" with a clear touch to critize the government no matter which party has the power. Their news in the website are as current as say like msnbc. Without a comparable depht you can get a quick overlook over the (agencies-)news at Yahoo : www.yahoo.de (DE!) - also other searchengines provide German sites with related content Of course all important publications have websites - a few examples: www.focus.de (magazine) - colorful, popularistic, narrow horizon but sometime interesting data and statistics www.stern.de (magazine) - more pics, less text, but widely no concreteheads (ggg) www.welt.de (newspaper) - (sometimes more than just) conservative (Springer) www.faz.de (newspaper) - "Frankfurter Allgemeine", the most influent and important conservative newspapersueddeutsche.de (newspaper) - "Süddeutsche Zeitung " liberal and intelligent, there you can read even news which are widely censored elsewhere like today "Chirac warns Bush against war-rhetoric". Sites of news-engaged networks: www.n-tv.de (time-warner) interesting: they provide important parts of their program as live-stream. Focussed in markets - so you can hear what German reporters report from the NYSE-floor LOL. www.ard.de (ad-independent) www.zdf.de (ad-independent) I will end with probably the best (had to search 10 minutes until I've found it!!!) hated of all critical voices in TV: Panorama ndrtv.de They have the guts to report things that are not liked to be reported in our "free" and "democratic" society - mostly because they show that the polished look is just covering a dirty (and often brown) swamp. You can sure that each single word they say is the pure truth - they keep all records of getting fired and silently burried of all media in Germany. At least Spiegel and Panorama feed the still burning tiny flame of freedom, humanity and liberalism in our "military-democracy" and keep hope alive.
