Presse, online.
German magazines online.
The major German newsmagazines have online editions. Der
Spiegel is also available in the Robeson Library in print. It
is the news magazine that German students are most likely to hear about,
but it targets a well-educated, somewhat elitist audience and uses a distinctive
style, with complex sentences and a vocabulary that uses the whole unabridged
German dictionary. Der Spiegel thus can be rather difficult for
students to read. Focus is a more American-style
newsweekly, with shorter articles and an easier style. Stern
is a more populist, people and picture-oriented weekly. It covers the major
news stories, but it has more of an interest in celebrities and entertainment
than Der Spiegel.
Bunte is sort
of Germany's "People"
magazine. Try it if you want to read about celebrities and entertainment
in German. You can see which US stars are big in Germany, and learn about
some of the German stars and celebrities that we never hear about in the
American media. Who is Udo Jürgens?

Yes, with the proper computer and software, you can get the news, as
well as music and some other entertainment programming from German radio
and television stations. Try the Bayrischer
Rundfunk Web-Seite mit on-line Audio und Video.
