Template:Lang (Template:IPA, Template:Lit) is a German national daily newspaper, published as a broadsheet by Axel Springer SE. Template:Lang is the flagship newspaper of the Axel Springer publishing group and it is considered a newspaper of record in Germany. Its leading competitors are the Template:Lang, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Frankfurter Rundschau. The modern paper takes a self-described "liberal cosmopolitan" position in editing, but it is generally considered to be conservative.<ref name="The World from Berlin">"The World from Berlin".

During 2014, the average circulation of Template:Lang was approximately 180,000.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The paper may be obtained in more than 130 countries. Daily regional editions appear in Berlin and Hamburg. A daily regional supplement also appears in Bremen. The main editorial office is in Berlin, in conjunction with the Berliner Morgenpost.

Template:Lang was a founding member of the European Dailies Alliance, and has a longstanding co-operation with comparable daily newspapers from other countries, including The Daily Telegraph (UK), Template:Lang (France), and ABC (Spain).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

From 2004 to 2019, the newspaper also published a compact edition entitled Welt Kompakt, a 32-page cut-down version of the main broadsheet targeted to a younger public. The paper does not appear on Sundays, but the linked publication Welt am Sonntag takes its place.

History

Template:Conservatism in Germany Template:Lang was founded in Hamburg in 1946 <ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> by the British occupying forces, aiming to provide a "quality newspaper" modeled on The Times. It originally carried news and British-viewpoint editorial content, but from 1947 it adopted a policy of providing two leading articles on major questions, one British and one German. The newspaper was bought by Axel Springer in 1953.

The 1993 circulation of the paper was 209,677 copies.<ref name=phum>Template:Cite book</ref> At its peak in the occupation period, it had a circulation of approximately a million.<ref>Patricia Meehan, A Strange Enemy People: Germans Under the British 1945–50. London: Peter Owen, 2001, pp. 176–9. Template:ISBN.</ref>

In 2002 the paper experimented with a Bavarian edition.

In November 2010, a redesign for the newspaper was launched, featuring a new logo with a dark blue globe, a reduced number of columns from seven to six, and typography based on the Freight typeface designed by Joshua Darden. Welt Kompakt was also redesigned to use that typeface.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 2 May 2014, the Swiss German business magazine BILANZ began to be published as a monthly supplement of Template:Lang.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Criticism

Die Welt has repeatedly been criticized for publishing climate-sceptic articles. A study published in 2017 that examined the publications of various newspapers over a period of one year from June 2012 to May 2013, found that 43% of articles included in the sample for the publication were climate-sceptical, having the highest climate-sceptical value of all German newspapers.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

During the COVID-19-pandemic, the newspaper was criticized by the Amadeu Antonio Foundation for adopting right-wing populist talking points and publishing misinformation about COVID-19.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Liz Fekete criticized the newspaper in 2024 for uncritically adopting Israel's talking points on the Middle East conflict, to the disadvantage of Palestinians, and spreading false information about the prevalence of antisemitism among immigrants.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

In December 2024, opinion department chief Eva Marie Kogel left Die Welt protesting the publication of an op-ed by Elon Musk that supports AfD.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
