Tschüẞ to the daily print edition of Die Tageszeitung

Today marks a special day in German newspaper history.

The daily national newspaper, Die Tageszeitung, also known as taz, is publishing today for the last time its daily print edition.

From tomorrow the print edition will appear at the weekend, the daily newspaper will only be digitally available.

The newspaper first appeared in 1978 and would be seen as an alternative read with Green left tendencies.

It is the first nationwide German daily newspaper to disappear from kiosks and shops.

It was always interesting to see where and by whom Die Tageszeitung was read. It was most interesting too to observe in German Dominican communities who’d be reading taz at breakfast, indeed, also the communities that bought the daily newspaper.
