Our focus

DW-WORLD.DE offers comprehensive daily coverage in seven core languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese for Brazil and Russian. In addition, the site also offers a mixture of news and information in 23 other languages corresponding to Deutsche Welle's radio programs.

The DW-WORLD.DE/English team focuses primarily on news and information in the areas of current affairs, business, culture and science from Germany and Europe as well as providing a German and European perspective on major international news events. In-depth features and dossiers on current issues offer readers a closer look at what's going on in Germany and Europe.

Since a majority of our readers are based in the United States, DW-WORLD.DE/English has decided to adopt American English as its standard.  

Our sources

Our journalists bring you a wide selection of independently reported stories. While we also rely on material from Deutsche Welle's central news desk as well as a broad network of correspondents in DW-TV and DW-RADIO, stories on DW-WORLD.DE/English are neither a translation of the site's German-language pages nor an exact replica of information broadcast by DW-TV or DW-RADIO.

To ensure up-to-date information on the page, the team also works with material from several news agencies, including Agence France Press (AFP), Deutsche Presseagentur (dpa), Associated Press (AP) and Reuters.

Our service

DW-WORLD.DE/English is also Germany's premier English-language site covering Germany's Bundesliga soccer league and offers coverage and service information for major soccer events, including the German National Team and Euro 2008, which is taking place in Austria and Switzerland.

Visitors to Germany can find tips on places to visit and general information about the country on our pages. Our special site for students and researchers, www.campus-germany.de, offers valuable information about German universities.
