5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, intellectual, left?, May 21, 2005

By	Bernd Foecking "the_yet_merciful" (Rindge, NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are a few good news magazines out there, the Spiegel is definitely one of them.
I teach German in the US and my older students read the Spiegel with a lot of enthusiasm. They are always astounded by the depths of the Spiegel's coverage when comparing it Time Magazine, Newsweek or others.
I absolutely do not share the opinion that the Spiegel covers only events related to Germany. The reports are critical, and compared to American media usually a bit left ( if you consider NPR coverage left as well).

5.0 out of 5 stars The world's most informative magazine, January 18, 2003

By	Emmett Hoops "at78rpm" (Saranac Lake, NY USA) - See all my reviews

For those who are fortunate enough to have a working knowledge of German, Der Spiegel presents an astonishingly informative magazine every week. Each issue has over 200 pages, with articles about politics, art, music, architecture, travel, technology, and just about anything else you might want in a weekly magazine. Imagine The Economist at thrice its size, with longer articles, and written in German: that is Der Spiegel.
When I was still learning the language, I found Spiegel rather difficult to understand. This is probably because it's not written for idiots. Still, I learned a lot of colloquial German from reading it. For those who are learning German, and those who speak it well, there is no better source of information than Der Spiegel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get an idea about the Spiegel online, December 16, 2005

By	Thomas Brambor (Stanford, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a reader of the Spiegel in Germany for several years. Since I moved to the US for graduate study I subscribe to a daily (free!) newsletter called "Der Tag". Instead of relying on polemic critics you might as well read some of the articles yourself to get an idea of the quality of the Spiegel.

By the way, I also love the Economist. In general, however, I think the neoclassical approach of the Economist differs significantly from the perceptively left-leaning, liberal Spiegel.
